We got most of school done today. Yikes, it's hard doing 3 different grades. We'll make it though, this is still a better fit for us and the kids are eating it up.

I made dinner again tonight. This makes 6 nights in a row that I cooked dinner. Even made it on AWANA night when it's just so much easier to grab something on the way.

Only two more regular nights of AWANA, then the third is the Closing ceremony. Shew, get a break from that for awhile.

Hubby had a dentist appt today. Part of one of his molars broke off on Saturday. He went in today, and was basically told that the filling in that tooth never should have been put there, and that it should have been crowned. Guess who put that filling there? The Air Force:) They decided when hubby was separating, to drill out all of his porcelain fillings, and put in the more "durable" metal ones. This was after they had just gotten done drilling out the "outdated/toxic" metal ones, to put IN the porcelain ones. Sheesh, not sure WHAT they were thinking! I asked hubby if he couldn't go to the VA and have them fixed since the military didn't do them right, or do what they were supposed to. We'll see if he looks into that or just gets a crown done by a dentist.

He is going to be looking for a different dental office though. I guess the one he went to was very upscale and basically spent the whole time trying to get him to approve a "treatment plan" which basically entailed 10-12 separate office visits and would end up costing US, after insurance paid, $1,800 out-of-pocket. That was to only fix 2 of the 5 problem teeth/fillings. The other ones they want to keep and eye on, wink-wink. I say "wink-wink" because he thinks they want to "keep and eye on them" until he gets this work done, then they'll say the others need to be done. The wanted to schedule 4 separate appts just to clean his teeth, doing a different section at a time. My hubby went on a rambling/rant session about how he just wants a "regular" dentist. One where you go in, get your teeth cleaned, get x-rays, and then get your tooth/teeth fixed. I think it has to do with our living in a relatively upscale area, people are just becoming more vain or beauty conscious or whatever. He can't even just go to a $10 barber and get a haircut anymore, he has to go to a place that massages his head, puts a steaming towel on his face, etc. and of course they cost twice as much! Good grief! Ok, my rant is over....

Hubby found out today that he has to fly out tomorrow to Sacramento. He'll be back Thursday night. He's not sure why he's going and not sure if it has to do with San Diego or not or that they just need him to spend 1 1/2 days interviewing for that office. I'm really hoping I don't go into labor tomorrow or Thursday. His boss flew to California back in March, and his wife ended up having their baby without him here. If you think of it, or get a chance, can you pray for safe travel? I *hate* when he has to leave, not matter how long/short it is....
