So today was a teacher workday which was nice cause we got to be at school 15 minutes later... which okay does not sound like much but 15 minutes is a precious thing. I enjoyed my extra 15 minutes of sleep.
We had a workshop at school all day about behavior. The dude who came was very interesting... you know how when men go bald they try to deny it by letting all the rest of their hair minus the bald spot grow uncontrollably? Well this was the case.. the dude had a bald spot right in the back of his head. The front was growing uncontrollably as was the bottom back of his hair. He looked like he was in the advanced stages of growing a mullet. It was quite humorous and kept me entertained well that was until......
Okay those who are near and dear to me probably are aware of my extremely exciting front teeth. Half of each of my front teeth is bonded which means fake. They aren't dentures that come out they are just permanently bonded to look just like real teeth. Well I was eating Laffy Taffy (NOT SMART) and "CRACK".... my right front tooth's bond just came out. I was mortified, embarrassed, and sad. Luckily only Jill and Courtney were aware of this... which of course they at first felt bad but then laughed. It was only 10am... what was I going to do? I struggled through till the lunch break at 12 and then made a call to the dentist. I was quick to let them know I had a dental EMERGENCY!!! Praise the Lord they had an appointment late afternoon. I went in and wasn't sure what to expect in regards to the outcome. It had been 10+ years since my accident and I couldn't remember how long it took, etc. Also there was only like an hour left in the working day for the nice dental people and I didn't want to be that person who kept them there after hours. Luckily the lady took me back, looked at me and said, oh we can fix that no problem. *sigh of relief!!! So nice Mr. Dr. Dentist took care of me numbed me up... well it still hurt like you know what when he was sanding the back of my tooth to make it smooth for the bond... cause duh major root action in the back.. whoa sensitive! Anywho I survived and got my dignity back.
Definitely had a breakdown on the way to the dentist though.... definitely spilled it all out to Jesus and told Him that I was really having a hard time handling all that He is giving me this week. I felt much better after that!
Okay yeah yeah I'm vain, but believe me I'm sure it was difficult going like a day with cracked front teeth when I was 11 but age 24 is like a million times worse. I am a smiler and well I didn't wear braces for 2+ years and have my parents pay thousands of dollars on my smile for me not to be able to use it. Plus you try getting up in front of 18 six and seven year olds who are painfully honest and let you know every flaw about yourself. So needless to say I am so glad that I can smile again and I look like a human again!!!
