The Tooth Fairy and Riesling rambles

It is dangerously close to Chirstmas vacation. I have five days to get through until I am FREE!

Last week was similar to herding cats and I think this week will prove to be more of the same.

Note of Self (When Self finally becomes a parent): The tooth fairy should NEVER bring you $20 a tooth. 1) That's an absurd amount of money for a lousy tooth and 2) It's a lot of money to a seven year old. It prompts said seven year old to wiggle every single tooth in his head. Tahlil has managed to pull out two teeth this week. He's saving up for Guitar Hero. "A few more teeth and you could swing Rock Band, if you're feeling ambitious."

Meagan pulled out one. David did, too. Meagan got 7 dollars, David got 50 cents. Life isn't fair.

Pretty soon we'll be gumming our way through second grade. Honestly, it's starting to gross me out. I'm praying that everything that was going to fall out, has already fallen out by now.

I went out with some teacher friends last night and over a (okay, it might have been my fourth) glass of Riesling, I signed myself up for the Winter Pagaent for the school assembly and PTA. There's dancing. (Which I can't do) There's singing. (Which I REALLY can't do) I'll have to think of something clever to get out of it. How about "Please don't ask me after I've had an in depth conversation about the musical genius Lil Wayne? ("OHMYGOD! I FREAKIN LOVE LIL WHAAAAAYNE!") That's usually not a good sign." No more wine and promises!

Haha, wow. Guitar hero? Well it sounds like he's on his way to getting it.
When i was a kid i never did that. maybe because my mom told me the tooth fairy never existed when i lost my first tooth. it totally crushed my spirits~
