Drama House

A mom FINALLY falling asleep at 2am, only to be back up at 3am with child, only to again go to bed at 5am to be woken up by husband in pain....AND this mom has yet to drive to Dryden today (four hour drive) to spend time with the crazy fun brother-in-law!

Yup, my home is full of drama today. Yesterday was so peaceful. Then my husband informs me that his tooth has been bugging him all week and is in pain...at which point I notice his face has swollen up. I then tell him he has an abscessed tooth...to which the much more knowledgeable man (notice the sarcasm please) informs me that it's not.

I go to bed at 11am...only to toss and turn until 2am. You see, Billy wants to go visit his brother Rob in dryden this weekend. I love Rob, and we've been meaning to go see them for years now in Dryden. The issue is that Billy had to work today IN KENORA, so I was to drive ALONE with abi and meet Billy in Kenora. I am okay driving by myself in the city, even okay driving on a highway I've driven before, but go on a stretch of unfamiliar territory with a very active four year old in the back seat and no other adult company??? I was a little nervous.

At 3 am, abi, who is so excited to go see her uncle rob, auntie anne and cousins, decided that we should go NOW. In trying to be nice to the husband, I took abi out of our room, so he could get some rest (cuz you know he has to work and drive to kenora)...it took me an hour to get her to fall back asleep.

Problem now is, I AM AWAKE...so I start to cross-stitch. Hubby wakes up, asks what I am doing up, goes into shower...I go to bed. I JUST start to drift off, when the following takes place:

Hubby: "can I turn the light on for a sec?"
Wife: "hmflup"
Hubby: "can you look at this?"
Wife: "hmflup"
Hubby: "no, seriously"

I open my eyes to my husband leaning over my face with his mouth stretched wide-open, and a very large...we are talking golf ball size, nasty, purple, pussy abscess staring me in the face. What a Fan-tab-ulous morning!

Wife: "you have an abscess"
Husband: dumbfounded look, like now what?
wife: "looks like we aren't going to go to dryden"
Husband: dumbfounded, hurt look
Wife: "fine, I'll call the dentist"

I used to be a dental assistant...well, graduated, worked for a year and decided that looking into people's mouths for a living, just wasn't my thing...BUT at times like these, calling up the old boss comes in handy.

So, it's now 11:30am and my hubby is sitting in a chair waiting...very patiently (ya right) for me to finish my blogging session and get my ass in gear and pack. Nice how he can ignore my advise to book his frigging appointment to get his teeth fixed in the first place, ignore my statement of "you have an abscess", and then wake me up to confirm my comment...have me CALL the dentist to make the arrangements for him to get his tooth pulled TODAY...and yet, he can sit there impatiently, loudly mind you, to get packing!!!!!! MEN!

I am going to go pack now, then load my suitcase...cuz it's the only thing left to be done...then drive to my hubby's work (to drop off his van and pick him up), take him to the dentist, then pick him up when he is done, then off to dryden for a fun-filled weekend...can't wait.
