My Day Off

Well, Doodle had his three year check up yesterday & it went great! He is at the 90th% for height & 50th% for weight. tall and skinny :) The doctor had him recognize shapes, animals & just kind of quizzed him a little bit & he did awesome! We are so proud of him.

Then Daniel & I went to the dentist for a cleaning-or so we thought. Almost 3 hours later I come out with having a root canal done. It honestly was not that bad. They gave me the laughing gas, headphones with music, and a blanket! It does hurt a little today. I'm just going to have to deal with that though, because I can't take the pain meds while driving or working. I get to go back in 4 weeks & then they will put on the overlay, or crown, or whatever.

But, I have never felt closer to God than I did while they were doing my tooth. Seriously. I don't know why I felt that way, but it was nice. I was pretty scared when they told me I was going to have the root canal done. I didn't want to feel the shot in my mouth (although it would not have felt anything like the injections I had while I was pregnant-another story). Once they started the laughing gas, I just began to pray. I prayed about my family, Brenden, Daniel & I, life, my tooth, safety, happiness, worrying, and I was thankful for a lot. My whole mouth was numb, but while I was laying there with my eyes closed, half asleep, I could feel tears running down my face. I just felt so thankful & close to Him. I wish I could feel that way throughout my day. I don't always feel that close, or strong in my faith, but I know it will come. I'm trying. I'm trying to trust.
