I am tired

I had my working day in Samar’s classroom. I dealt with 2 moms who want to enroll in fall. We had kitchen snack project and I was the helper, rounding up kids…

Then, NK calls and says something’s up at work and he cannot stay with Neil and I should rush right back instead of enjoying my lunch with the other moms.

The girls had an orthodontist appt, I cannot afford to get Ashwina’s teeth fixed.Its going to cost around $4500, the braces and expander ..a 18 month treatment course.

And we have bad news from India. Think good thoughts on Thursday morning as NK’s dad undergoes surgery.

I am tired and all I want to do is curl up and sleep.

    Breathe easy dear..I know somedays seem so overwhelming…Hope the wisdom tooth related pain has eased. I wouldnt worry too much about the braces..I got mine at 21! Besides its best to have all your milk teeth fall off before u put Braces (at least that’s what most Dentists in India recommended)…but I aint no Dentist so am speaking for wat I went thru..Praying for your family..God Bless

    Awwww…hope all becomes well soon. Dental costs are really too high…any chance you could get dental insurance? I’m wondering myself if I should take it up! Hope your f-i-l’s surgery goes smoothly. Take care.

    hey i just wanted to tell u tht i got braces when i was 13 and even though they were suppose to fix my teeth after 5 years my smile is still crooked. thts partly my fault because i was too irresponsible but trust me a 13year old will not be responsible about what she wants to eat..we dont want to be burger and pizza and all tht stuff deprived most of our teen years! ashwina is even younger. so its best to wait :)

    i hope everything turns out fine for you! prayers for your FIL. lots of love.

    Do take a rest then and take care.

    Have been told that my 3 kids would need work done on their teeth too but I’ve been pushing things off as that’ll cost a bomb especially here in Italy.

    Maybe in a few years I’ll finally strike the Euromillion…

    I know you must be REALLY be tired. I am always amazed at how much you do and how little you grumble about being tired. Good luck with everything, my dear.

  21. Sands says:

    Good luck with everything. Am sure it will all be fine. Have you checked your insurance for the orthodontic work. That will help knock off a decent chunk.

    Me: My current dental insurance doesnt cover ortho. Sigh..

    Sending positive vibes your way. Hope NK’s dad’s surgery went well.

    S underwent the orthodontic treatment too, 1.5 years ago :( Actually, the orthodontist just told us at the last appt that he would prefer to stop treatment and wait until S has finished growing up and then correct her problems with surgery because this treatment hasn’t worked as much as he had hoped it would. Can your orthodontist give you an easy financing option? Ours did. Hugs to Ashwina – I know from experience that it ain’t easy. Hugs to you too.

    Me:Avasha, he told us to wait. Ashwina, he wants to get started. She offered a 18 month plan..I declined.

  27. Cee Kay says:

    I meant S underwent the same treatment with expanders etc.
