Reboot

I spent a good hour working on something in photoshop tonight and when I came back down later, my pc had rebooted on its own. WTF! It wasn't even that cool of a project, but still.....I was pretty upset with the whole thing.

My real downer for the day though, was the trip to the dentist for my daughter. At first, I was so proud that she laid back in the seat by herself while she had her teeth cleaned like a big girl. Polishing, scraping, sucking of sprayed water, all done very well.

For me growing up, the dentist office was just this sterile place that smelled weird, and had some big stuffy guy in it with a huge moostashhhh.
It didn't help that I never brushed my teeth and had about 11 cavities by age 7 or so. The pediatric dentist we go to now, has brightly painted walls with a huge farm painting, stuffed animals,toy room, swivel tv's, cool little sunglasses, and 7 different flavors of polish.

I sat there as 3 children lay down each watching their own tv and having their teeth cleaned. The dentist was wearing really tall heels that had a tan alligator skin pattern. She's always so chipper too. It's kind of odd to have her tell me in such a cheery manner that my 3 yr old has a cavity!!!

So she got her first xrays too as she wore this little lead shield with a smiley face on it. I felt some more pride watching her tackle with biting down on the relatively large xray bite wing thingees. But soon it started to sink in. Our efforts to help her avoid cavities were apparently not enough.

I was just so deflated for the rest of the day. She has no idea that she's going to get a filling next week. Ugghhh!!!!

Anyway, I guess it's time for some changes for both of us...to create some better habits and be more consistent.
