Some of you might wonder why I haven't posted in a day and a half, far below my daily average. Well, there's an explanation, and it is related to teeth.

And you're saying, "Oh, not another blog about teeth. This is getting old!" Au contraire, mon frere. I am not blogging about my child's lost tooth. I am blogging about mine. Yup. I lost a tooth. At least, part of one. I think. It's still in there. But last night at dinner, right before I was going to get on and blog about something, an errant bone maneuvered into my mandibles and I made the mistake of masticating it. (no, that's not a dirty word...look it up). Crack went the tooth, and I had an odd sensation I have no real comparison for that won't make you toss cookies.

So I have an appointment with a dentist on Wednesday, which is the earliest we can get in. Until then, I'm gingerly working around it or sticking to protein shakes--bleah!--if it comes down to that. If anything, I'll be thinner after this ordeal.

In other news, we are almost over the flu. My 9 year-old daughter is the only one in the thick of it right now. Her 2 year-old sister is back to her wonderful, adventurous old self. Her appetite came back Wednesday night. I wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that it was her favorite food: pizza. Regardless, she's back to 100%, thank God! Thanks for your prayers.

Now, as soon as we're done with this tooth, we actually might enjoy ourselves to go out on our anniversary date. At this rate, we'll have it around Memorial Day.
