Samantha has been coming into my scrap room, CLIMBING up on the chair at my scrap table, and playing with things up there.  Grrr, sigh, and darn it!  It’s NOT a low chair, it’s a high table with high chairs.  She can climb up, and she can climb down.  She’s getting so self sufficient and mobile, it’s cute, it’s a good thing, but it’s annoying when it comes to doing it in my scrap room.  She was opening a baggie with Minnie Mouse stuff in it, that I PIFfed, and have to send off, and now some of it’s on the floor, I’m sure.  So I’ve GOT to keep her out of this room, and I don’t always remember to close the door myself, and the other girls let her in… etc.  Once she has an in, sometimes she comes in so quietly, I don’t even realize she’s here until I turn around and see her at the table.  It also means I’m going to REALLY have to clean up and be more meticulous about keeping it free of scissors and other things she could get hurt with.  I’m really beginning to understand the lure of digital scrapping for some moms…well, I did before.  I’m GLAD I do have a door I can close.  If I was in the office Jerry has, I’d be tearing my hair out in worry that she was into my stuff all the time.  The allure of this room seems to be quite something for little kids.  Well, it IS full of fun stuff…stickers, paper clips, scissors, tape (different kinds even!), glue, etc. 

When I woke up this morning, I had this panicked thought:  What time is it?  I’ve got a noon appointment with the doctor.
Hm….  it’s SUNDAY.  My appointment is tomorrow.  It took me quite a long time to realize that.  Then… Becca came to tell Shabree and I that breakfast was ready, and Happy Mother’s Day, and I’d forgotten all about that, too.  Quite a way to begin a day, I’m telling you.  I DID get enough sleep though, but yesterday felt like Sunday, so I was totally thinking today was Monday.  The funny thing was, when I woke up, it was only 8:30, not 11 like I was thinking.  My sense of time is not typically so screwy.  It’s usually very close to what time it actually is.  But yesterday flew by in this weird flash.  I could not believe it when it was 6 p.m., and then 7, and we didn’t even have dinner until 7:30.  When I went to bed at 11:30, Jerry, Becca and Shabree were watching The Chipmunks on his computer.  We’d watched Mr Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, which was an EXCELLENT movie (and full of what I would call metaphysical concepts, very nicely done.)  I couldn’t sleep though when I went to bed.  So it was after 1 a.m. before I went to sleep, I think.  The last time I remember seeing was 12:30.  I woke up at 3, again at 5, again at 8:30.  My jaw is aching a LITTLE, but not too badly.  Actually, I swished my mouth with warm salt water, took a couple of vitamin C in case I DO have an infection, it’ll help fight it, and tried ice, but it hurt.  I am THINKING of trying warmth, but I’ve seen a couple of warnings that it can spread an infection.  Though I’m not convinced I have an infection.  I haven’t taken my temp, but I don’t FEEL feverish, I don’t think the area is swollen (hard to tell for sure, actually), no pus, all I really have is an ache, which could just be from it being irritated.  I REALLY have to remember to ask my doctor about this.  Though I’m not sure he can help (and he usually takes so little time with me, that I’ll be lucky if I remember by the time he’s done with me!)   Jerry thinks he can give me an antibiotic, and I’m SURE that he can, but he won’t be able to tell for sure if there IS an infection (because he’s not a dentist), and who wants to take antibiotics unless they’re sure there’s a reason for them?  So I’ve got to figure out a way to see the dentist.  In the meantime, I’ll keep up with the Vitamin C just in case, and the other pain dulling techniques. 

Sitting here has really tired me out.  I KNOW I have more to say… I always do.  I have had a lot on my mind, especially about this subject on the Law of Attraction, but I think I’ll have to save it for later.  Though, here is a link for you:

Print it out, fill it out, put it where you can see it, and really BELIEVE you’re going to receive it, and you will.  It works, and even if it didn’t, what’s the harm in trying it out?  It can be a fun game, if nothing else.  But I have found that it works, amazingly enough.  It’s got to be a believable amount for you though, I will say that.  It has to be something you can SEE achieving.  If you don’t believe it, it usually won’t happen for you.  But when you start small, then you can proceed to larger and larger amounts, because you start to believe ANYTHING is possible.  Try it.
