Coming back from vacation is hard.  Coming back to serious back pain and having a tooth cause a lot of pain was almost unbearable.  I had a permanent tooth pulled last Thursday.  I really fought not having the tooth pulled, but it was a tooth that had two root canals already and it was my last tooth on the top right hand side.  So it was time to go.  I think the idea that I am not even 40 yet and I am already losing teeth is what hit me the hardest.  And because I am naive I did not think having a tooth pulled would be “that big of a deal.” Boy was I wrong.  It hurt like the dickens, I can only drink liquids for three days then I can move to soft pasta. Ug.

Bright side I think I will lost the weight I gained from vacation.  But seriously I don’t recommend this weight loss plan.

The oldest and youngest boys begin a new round of basketball, middle son has decided to sit this one out (which is fine with me!).  My youngest has really taken to golf, he had a week of lessons this summer and will be getting some more soon (it was a birthday present).  The golf coach was impressed, in fact my youngest son is in his first golf tournament on the 28th.  I am so happy that he has found something he really enjoys, but seriously with golf I hear the sucking of my wallet. Ha!  No seriously I am happy for him, and it is something that is purely HIS because his two older brothers don’t play golf yet.

I hope you had a great week.  Here are a few links worthy of your time to read.

It is so easy to get off track, praise God we have someone that gently nudges us when we begin to chase rabbit trails. This post at My Quiet Corner, could have been written by me also. She hit the nail on the head concerning things I was struggling with before my vacation.
