Freak Of Nature

My doctor at UofU wanted me to participate in a study she's got going, so I said I would.  I guess I'm a freak of nature or something.  A lady from epidemiology (or something like that) came out to take some info from me today and to get my DNA.  The study is about genetics.  Don't know how useful I'll be, but whatever. 

I shouldn't have been so melodramatic about Josh yesterday.  He was fine last night and tonight.  He likes his teacher, he's OK with school.  But sometimes he just really hates it and doesn't want to go anymore.  Sunday night I think it was just the Sunday night blahs.  Last year he cried and refused to go on Wednesdays because he hated computer class so much, and then he really hated music class because the teacher was having them watch The Sound of Music.  I hate that movie.  I wouldn't want to go either.  But for now he's happy again, so I'll take it when I can get it and hope for the best.

Josh had to go to the dentist yesterday to get a cavity filled.  He had this big bump on the inside of his lip that was a plugged saliva gland or something like that, and the doctor said he could remove it while he was in there for the cavity.  Then he also decided that a loose tooth that wasn't coming out fast enough needed to be pulled to make room for the permanent tooth that was growing in under it.  So the poor kid got more than his fair share of needles.  It was hard to watch, because all that numbing really hurt.  But after it was all over he liked going around telling his battle stories and showing off the stitches in his lip. 

We took Marilyn out to dinner tonight for her birthday.  It was really great to have all my kids there, and Marilyn is always fun to hang out with. 

Well, hmmmm...  I guess that's it.
