The January BLAHS and talk of teeth

Christmas is over. Sigh. I am at a loss as to what to do with myself. There really is no need to bake cookies, although that really shouldn't stop me. I don't have any gifts to wrap. No surprise outings with the kids. Sigh. I don't like January. I suffer from the post-Christmas letdown. Oh yes, it's quite serious. I am thinking about reorganizing the crawlspaces in the attic. Send help immediately.

Breuklyn, on the other hand, is loving January. She is back to school as of Monday, which makes her happy. She has also lost her 3rd tooth. Prior to the massive exodus of her teeth, she had a perfect smile. Perfect teeth, absolutely perfect. Not so much anymore. Her bottom teeth, once she lost her baby teeth, have come in crooked because there just isn't room in there for them. We are now anticipating braces. Fun times.

She is now left with the one wiggly tooth on the top. Since it has all the room in the world to just hang out, that is exactly what it is doing. It's just hanging there, diagonally, in her mouth. Taunting me with what used to be the most perfect smile ever. Oh the entertainment.

Anything exciting going on in your world? I am planning on going antique shopping tomorrow. I've got to do something to entertain myself. Anyone want to go shopping?

Sure I'd love to go shopping! For some reason January isn't so bad for me. It's usually February. Oh I do have a few things going on. Like my oldest is living here now and once I get his transcripts I want to get him signed up for school. I think he'll do online and then he doesn't have to worry about fitting in for one last semester.

Breuklyn looks so cute with her toothless smile!

... Back to organizing (and thinking about baking my great-grandmother's butterscotch cookies)

I am SO glad the kids are back in school. Whew!!! I actually got out and did a little shopping today...alone. Aaahhh...loved it;)

We have lost quite a few teeth. Some had to be pulled:( Thankfully my BIL is a dentist or it would cost us some $$$:( We got the sealants recently. I hope we won't be needing braces.

I LOVE the toothless grin pics:)

Can I go shopping with you? I will be on the next flight down.. oh, how I wish! Cookies do sound good -warm the house and make it smell so good. I agree, it takes adjusting from all the busy-ness of the holidays. I think Breuklyn looks cute with her crooked tooth. I remember those days... and the days of running to the ortho all the time with our oldest, which will be again with Brittany. Wishing you a fun day of shopping tomorrow.

I am trying to sew a lot. Plus I have a gazillion valentines to make, so that keeps me busy during the blahs.
