Sooo ... last night, Caloy was in horrific pain because of a tooth. Being the awesome wife I am, I drove to Walgreen's as fast as possible (while obeying all traffic signs ... wink, wink) and bought just about everything and anything they had with a tooth on it. I came home and Caloy smothered his tooth in all kinds of different toothache remedies ... only to still have horrible pain ... we put heat on it, then iced it and then he took 4 Tylenol and 2 Tylenol P.M. too!
This morning I called the dentist ... it is far easier and more effective when I can call for him and he doesn't have to call through a relay operator (he often jokes thats why he married me ... also because he can go to drive-throughs ... nice huh?) The dentist saw him at 10:00 and after an xray ... I was interpreting while holding Gracie ... the dentist saw that he had an infection up through the bone ... goodness! Our dentist pulled Caloy's tooth ... it was a wisdom tooth, so I was quick to tell Caloy that he was now officially dumb. (joking ... a little). He was given some pain meds and that was that. Whew ... what a day.
It snowed here today ... crazy Colorado weather ... so by the time we were done, got medication, made noddles for lunch since he had to eat soft food ... it was too late to drive all the way to work. Did I take a day off? Of course not ... I went to work at the Y ... Summer camp is quickly approaching. How can it be May 1st already???
I am really doing my best at having more patience with Caloy when he is "sick". I get that last night he was in really serious pain ... I just have a hard time dealing with him when he is such a weenie. I think all men are that way ... right?!?!
Yipeeeee ... tomorrow is Friday and I am thankful. Caloy and a few other friends are coming to my school to talk with the 8th grade Deaf kids ... a mentorish-kind-of-program. He is great at that stuff ... talking with kids, being inspirational ... I love my husband. Even when he is "sick" and the biggest weenie on the planet ... he is an amazing man.
Thank you Lord for my husband, for our dentist (who just called by the way to check up on Caloy and see how he is doing ... do dentist's do that? That was so nice!) ... I am thankful Lord that Caloy is no longer in outrageous pain. Thank you Lord for the Office and the laughter it brings me ... Thank you Lord for my children and that they are snuggly safe in their beds. My cup overflows Lord ... You are so good to me. Amen.

Aren't you supposed to lose those when you're like 17? UGH. Sorry. Yes, it's a manly man thing to do...to be weenies when you are sick or injured. But we aren't allowed to be that way when we are sick...or it's not worth it because they always come in asking questions...just easier to do it ourselves anyway!!
