Bad things come in threes....

I have heard that, I have said it and now I am starting to believe it.

1.  February - Stephen breaks the growth plate in his foot at the big toe, 2 weeks prior to baseball season starting, and he is a catcher.  So, he was in a boot, a cast and a boot again...  Not healed until mid April

2.  June - Rebecca breaks her arm.  A distal-radial buckle - which if you are going to have a break, this is the kind to get.  They heal fast.  She was put in a cast (6 more days) that looks like the Cheshire Cat.  Very cute, but not very fun...

3.  June - I break a tooth.  Was all set for a root canal and crown, but no.  I broke it all the way to the pulp of the tooth, infection was setting in (it was 2 days!!  not like I waited 2 months to have it looked at) and I had to have it pulled.  And to top it off on the same side of my mouth there were 2 other cracked teeth, so I have to get crowns.  Now I have to go and get evaluated for an implant - OR get another crown and bridge the tooth.  I don't want a bridge, so I am hoping that I can get the implant.  Did I mention that the dentist found 2 other teeth that need crowns?  Yes - for a total of 4!!!  They are starting to fracture...  Oh, and did I also mention that I see my kids dentist more than I see one for me?  Do as I say, not as I do, yes?!

So, here I sit - hoping that this is the three.  I don't think I can take much more than this... So, no cruise update for today...  :(

More tomorrow!
