Princess Pea's teeth (teeth: E,F,O and P)have decided to start erupting today. It is not a happy day. She is so distraught with the pain. Oragel works, but she hates the numb feeling. Tylenol works for a while but until it was absorbed into her system, I had a screaming child on my hands for an hour. We tried a walk in the bitter cold around the neighborhood. That didn't work other than having neighbors think that I was an uncaring mother! A genius thought came though: Finding Nemo. So, we currently don't have television in our home. To get any reception to our home we need dish. We are cheap and like the peace. We watch what we want on the internet or rent movies. It is nice to focus on the little one too.

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience." Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006
