Yet another appointment today. Today my daughters' have a dentist appointment. I am proud to say that my oldest has never had a cavity. That makes me proud. The only thing that is disappointing is that she is not at the age that her mouth is. For 9, she has only lost 3 teeth and it's not looking promising that she is gonna lose anymore anytime soon. Poor kid, she hates being teased for having baby teeth still. We already have the prognosis that she is in desperate need of braces, but with them not growing in yet, we do have PLENTY of time to save for them. Thank goodness! I am proud, though, that her teeth are still cavity free. My youngest, however is cavity free as of now, but has had 3 already. She's a mini me in that sense, I have spent numerous days in a dentist's chair, wide mouthed and numb. Not something I like to see my children go through. She however, has already lost 4 teeth at 7, and they are rapidly growing in and falling out. No sign of needing braces. She definitely got her dads teeth! He has the perfect alignment and smile, never has had a cavity either. I guess the girls got the combo from both of us. Booooo on bad teeth, yay on no cavities!
The girls got plenty of beauty sleep yesterday, so today started out with a breakfast of rice krispies with sliced bananas and a nutrigrain bar for them. Me, I had quaker instant oatmeal "banana bread" with sliced bananas and a dollop of honey. Quite yummy if I do say so, considering I am the only one in the house who likes oatmeal. My husband calls early to make his plea of starvation. I grudgingly pack the girls in the car and we head to good 'ol Mickey D's...ugh. No offense to mcdonalds, but I stopped liking it after growing up as a mcdonalds baby in the 80's. Too many happy meals for me in the past make me not really want fast food. He gets a hashbrown and 2 sausage biscuits for a total of $3.10 and a polar pop coming in at .74. Not once but again he calls for yet another polar pop. He's a thirsty growing boy today!
The girls and I had lunch a little while later that consisted of ham sandwiches with cheese, mustard and pickles, bbq chips and watermelon chunks all of which were left over from our Saturday night party. I mention our party and watermelon in the same sentence so I can intro my first ever watermelon basket. hint hint. OH yeah, back to lunch. I had a few handfuls of wheat thin toasted chips and another pudding cup with coolwhip. Small but satisfying yet again.
No phone call for lunch? No, he didn't call again.
Dinnertime rolls around and I have been boiling ribs for hours to get them nice and tender. I bought these ribs when they were on sale at Kroger last week for $1.99 lb. for pork loin back ribs. Great deal to feed 4-5 for $4.47. I added a pouch of Lipton noodles and sauce the creamy chicken flavor is a hit in my house. When pasta comes up in my house, my husband gets this wierd look on his face....BUT, he loves the noodles from this. He will eat more than one helping if there are any left.
Our night finally winds down..then it hits! The craving. OH NO, I thought to myself. But, I do have to say that I had stockpiled minibag popcorn bags a few weeks ago while Kmart had them on sale in a 10 pack box for $3.00 while having a coupon for $1.00 off doubling coupons up to $2.00. I bought 2 boxes for $4.00 for the craving that requires a salty, crunchy, satisfying taste. I didn't finish half of the bag during America's got talent, but hubby did for me. NO wasting there! Tomorrow the girls are going to stay at their aunt's house for a night or two to get away from us. We drive them as nuts as they drive us at times. It is summertime, so I say ok.
