root canal

Had a root canal yesterday. It wasn't much fun. It was also very expensive, even with my insurance. Luckily, the doctor was pretty good because it doesn't hurt very much at all today. And my toothache is gone. He has to do something else to it next Friday, then I have to get it crowned.

Have I mentioned lately how brilliant my children are? K and S both made second Honor Roll. E is moving into her own apartment today, which she managed, on her own, to get soley in her name without BG on the lease. So, if they have problems and BG gets too mean or violent, E can call the police and have her removed. She loves BG, so Holly and I have been as tolerent as we can with the relationship, but she realizes how volatile it is and has left a way out. I'm very proud that she has retained the backbone to do it. She may not need it, though. After four months of living here and a few vain attempts at getting a job, BG had an epiphany yesterday that she needs to get her GED!!! We've only mentioned it, nicely and with subtlety, a dozen times. Awfully hard to get a job when you have no education, no job history and no verifiable job skills!!

The twins are figuring things out faster than we can keep up with them. They climb like monkeys. BG's son, who is four months older, can't keep up with their climbing. They've taught him to communicate in their babble language, although they are all learning new words every day. And how to get past our blockade to the TV. And how to bravely stand on top of the back of the couch. Holly's going crazy. Wish her luck!!
