Successful Monday....

We had some errands to run bright and early this Monday morning.

First, at 7 AM this morning, we had Kent's initial consultation for his orthodontist appt. for BRACES!!!!

Kent has a slight overbite, and the orthodontist ( who did my braces 5-6 years ago and is fabulous) said if Kent were his son he'd have two teeth pulled and then pull the upper jaw together giving more room to even out the teeth, and to have the back teeth line up better. At first I didn't like the idea of pulling perfectly healthy strong teeth, he said he could fix his teeth with out pulling any but his slight protrusion would be a little more pronounced because of the overbite, he showed a picture of that and it was NOT attractive. He also showed a patient having the same 2 teeth removed that Kent would need and how the teeth close in the gap and it was amazing! So I'm going to think it over... and the price of $5700+ that my dental plan does not cover cause it's considered "cosmetic".

Anyway, here's the funny pictures they take...

Here's a panoramic X-ray they take, pretty interesting, it shows all 4 of his wisdom teeth including the bottom ones trying to come thru that will need to be pulled down the road. Why do teeth have to be so expensive???Also, Kent's high school was having their open house were students could walk the halls to figure out where there classes were.... big sister was helping out...Kent has a pretty heavy schedule... remember he's only a sophomore... I am so proud of him...

1st period.... AAF Math (advanced algebra math- like 3rd year algebra I'm told)

2nd period... AP Chemistry

3rd period... 3rd yr Japanese

Those 3 classes he's taking at the high school.

Then he's being home schooled his other 3 classes which are (I'm provided all the books thur the off-campus program):

4th period... Sophomore Language Arts

5th period... World History

6th period... And his elective is Cartoon Comics- it's a drawing class focused on comic style drawing, he was pretty excited and it is an "easier" class to help balance out his heavy morning...

We're still working out the kinks for Jade's schedule, she's on a waiting list for one of her classes at the college so I'll show her schedule when we know for sure. Pretty exciting year for both kids.

Also, some progress on my craft room clean up, I have rounded up 3 bags of garbage so far... still lots to do though.

Oh ya, I gotta go to work later on today, too! I try not to think about that, I like to pretend I'm a stay at home mom until 3pm rolls around... hahaha!

Have a great Monday!
