"permanent" tooth

Ha! Here are the facts:

-E's permanent front tooth grew in not many months ago.

-Sunday he was racing a neighbor kid down the street on his bike, bailed and subsequently face planted into the concrete.

-He chipped off his front tooth nearly at the gum line.

-Today, we went to the dentist. He asked, "Did you notice your son chipped off his tooth?"

REALLY! Oh so THAT explains it! Duh!

-Our options stink. They are as follows:

a)see pediatric specialist to see if the tooth can be saved and subsequently capped (unlikely)
b)provide 9 year old boy with dentures
c)and wait till he's 22 (and his jaw stops growing) for dental implants

E AND I GOT ICE CREAM TO CELEBRATE OUR BAD NEWS!


On other fronts:

-We may be evicting our less-that-straightforward, untimely tenants. Wasn't that diplomatic of me? I have many, many not so nice things to say about the said tenants and am trying to keep those "inside words" inside.

-We had a fab time camping. Wonderful! Devine! Good! I might someday post pictures.

-We went swimming yesterday. I applied sunscreen to my children. I did not apply it on myself. I am now utterly, and pathetically sunburned.

-Today is my birthday. I am going out with my husband. I am 33. I feel at least 33. I am wondering how I'll pull off looking sexy for a date with my husband when my skin is striped sunburn pink and glow-in-the-dark white. Am I up for that kind of challenge? My mom gave me this cute LBD (little black dress) she got for me in Hawaii, it would be just the ticket except for the stripy arms and shoulders. I also have a cute purplish top, but it sorta matches my skin tone...so maybe not that either. A turltle neck and jeans should just about cover my sunburn, but then again it's pushing 100 degrees today...what's a girl to wear?!
