the tooth

Well yesterday I felt a sharp edge on one of my teeth so when I got to a mirror to get a good look at it today I saw that a good part ( maybe 25%) was gone.. just my luck.. so I called the dentist and they had only one opening at 1030.. well no problem ill go get it cleaned up and filled then get back to work.. well the dentist gave me a choice.. $882.00 to fix and cap or $85.00 to pull it.. you can guess what I did. No I'm not happy and now I will have to use my next years tax money to get a bridge but I don't have much choice if I want the kids to eat. They gave me lorcet and that's made me sleep so will see if I get any sleep tonight.

And then there were three

Well things have been a bit difficult around here the last few months.  Michael has been coming and going as he wanted and not calling.  After much loss of sleep I told him to pick what he wanted to do, live here under my rules or I would find a place for him. The next two days he skipped school, so I made a very difficult phone call to my ex and asked if she felt she could take mike for a while. Maybe this would help him decide what he wants to do in life. On Saturday I put him on a plane to Connecticut to live with Donna for a bit. Not sure for how long but at least until June if not longer.  
The last few days have been quiet different around the house. It seams a bit quieter, and the twins and Chris are getting along better, not great but better.  I guess it will take some time to get used to things. I hope Mike understands that I did this to help him, to maybe open his eyes to life and what he needs to do. I can hope but I’m not sure.
