She had all four of her wisdom teeth pulled on Monday and will be getting braces in mid-December.  She was pretty miserable Monday afternoon and evening, and pretty out of it from the anesthesia… and frustrated because she was thirsty and couldn’t open her mouth very far, let alone swallow. But she managed to get a few sips of milk, and take her pain pills, and antibiotic. We made sure she took a pain pill every four hours and even woke her up in the middle of the night. They pretty much knocked her out… and made her dizzy and she needed help walking. The fact that she barely had anything to eat in more than 24 hours (except for a few bites of apple sauce) didn’t help matters either and left her feeling weak.
But, as Tuesday wore on, she started feeling a little better, even ate some soup and a slice of cheese. She was still in some pain, but Advil took care of that, and by evening she was back on the computer, IM’ing her friend Lexi. Her face is still pretty swollen and I’m sure she’s happy that there’s no school this week. The bright side about a swollen face is that mom isn’t mean enough to take pictures for the Christmas card!

Sara was very concerned about Melissa when she came home late Monday afternoon, and drew this picture. She would love nothing more than snuggle with sissy and make her feel better, but of course that only annoys Melissa. Although I’m sure that Melissa knows how much Sara loves her… she just doesn’t want to admit it.

I know, eewwww! It was a tiny little thing, though.

Best pair of jeans ever! Too bad I don’t fit into them. Yet. I can almost button three of the five buttons.
I’ll be keeping them around and one day I will fit into them again! (I hope!)

This is for the “Challenge: November” on Scott’s blog.

November is chilly mornings with heavy dew…

…still warm afternoons, which make for some confused plum trees…

…still green leaves being blown off the trees…

…and fogged up windows in the morning

Yesterday’s images were from this tree.

Check out the new assignment on Scott’s blog and join in the fun!
I already have something in mind… just need to get out early enough to take the picture.
