On Thursday it snowed here, enough to keep me from going to work, so we all got a snow day. I was hanging out at the house, and enjoying my day and started to have a little annoying pain from my bottom wisdom tooth. Now mind you, I had my top 2 wisdom teeth pulled by my dentist a little over a year ago. He wasn't able to pull my bottom 2 b/c they were impacted, but they haven't been bothering me. Anywho, they would have their moments where they hurt me, but it usually went away; but that annoying pain on Thursday kept getting worse, so I braved the roads and ran to my fave store (Target) to go get some max strength Tylenol, Orajel, and Orajel antiseptic wash to try to relieve the pain. I was working on it all day, but it just wasn't helping. So I finally gave up and attempted to get some sleep. Well let me just tell you that my wisdom tooth was not about to let me get sleep at all!!! I swear to you it had a mind of it's own, and at that point, all I could do was play it's game.
At around 2 in the morning I was in a full blown case of hysterics, crying from lack of sleep and pain. I knew my dentists office was closed on Friday, so I was going to be at the mercy of my pain threshold, to either make it to Monday to see the dentist or just go see an Oral Surgeon and be done. Well I obviously opted for the later option, and thus I was able to get an emergency appointment to get it removed. After attempting to work for a few hours on Friday (on no sleep might I add) I knew this wasn't going to work-out for me. I went home and waited it out for the appointment. My kind and loving brother was ever so gracious to take me and pick me up as my mom wasn't able to make it to town (due to the snow) and my dad had a meeting at work. Apparently, I was quite the comedic relief that night, although I remember nothing at all after the IV. (Oh the joys of pain meds!) The only souvenir I have left from my eventful day is a horrible bruise from having a vein blown out! (Very painful might I add, and very unsightly!)

So Saturday I was better (enough to ride in a car, not drive) with my parents to my Great-Grandmas 100th birthday party. We even got to take "Baby T" with us, so I just had a blast. It was seriously amazing to be able to see 5 generations of people gathered in one place to celebrate an amazing woman. Definitely memories I won't ever forget. I will be sure to post some pics later that show my adorable Great-Grandma! I was in a "crafty" mood this weekend, so as you can see in the background of the above pic, I have begun working on quilts again. Now, I know that many people may think that makes me old to quilt, but I just love it!! There is nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment that you get when you finish a quilt, and then the feeling you get if it is a gift and you get to give it away. There will never be anything quite like a homemade quilt. I will have to post some pics of all the adorable quilts that I have made over the past 2 years that I have really started to get into quilting. I definitely have added my own "young" touch to quilting, so they don't look like "old granny" quilts, (not like there is anything wrong with granny quilts), I just like my more modern take on them!
Have a great day, and I will get back to work!
