Fall has arrived!

There have been little hints of it here and there, and it is definitely in full throttle now. There has been a very big chill in the air, and at night, the fog has been rolling in. The rain has been hitting us hard the last couple of days too. So glad we did that Portland trip last weekend to have our last of the summer hurrah!

Yesterday I had a dentist appointment to fix a tooth that had cracked on me. I don't know what it is about my back teeth, but they are failing on me, one by one. I went in hoping he wasn't going to say root canal, and he said, "Nah, we can fill it." Shew! It looks so much better..not that you could even see it, but I could feel it, and it was effecting the way I was having to bite down on everything. I go back next weekend for a full fledged checkup..we are going to discuss getting all of the crowns I need, (at least 3) and then I need a bridge. I MUST have that fixed. I am really excited to get all my dental work done now that Mike just bought a policy for me. I feel so much better knowing it won't break me to go in if I have to.

Tomorrow is hell day at school. 2 very large exams, and to be honest, I feel like I could snap at any moment. There has been a lot of stress associated with them, and then with the everyday stress of being a mom, and doing the things you are supposed to, it has been terrible. My mom has not been able to watch Kate 3x this week, so finding alternative care for her has been stressful. I told her today I don't need any more stress, and that even if she wants to share something with me that is stressful-not to. I can't take anymore of it. We are blessed for the care she gave Katelynn, but it is coming down to her being old enough now to go to a daycare center. Our needs are changing, and I can't be stressing about who has her from this time to that time..etc. So, we will see what happens. We think she might be old enough to go where Matthew goes, but she would be the youngest.

Off to study. It is going to be a long night. I am guessing I will just get a nap tonight, and not a night full of rest. oh boy!
