I have to go in for a pap later this afternoon. On FB one of my friends from high school keeps posting things that I'm starting to find offensive. I keep typing and then deleting comments because I know there's no point. One of the things was so patently ignorant about the Holocaust that I think I should just hide her posts from my newsfeed. She acts like she knows something when she knows absolutely nothing about that time in history. Would you call her out for that or just hide her posts?
Is she actually your friend? I think I'd just delete her entirely unless she was family you have to see again.
I have to get my first filling today I'm so sad. Also I keep wondering if the dentist was lying and just trying to get my money.
We talk very rarely these days - she'll sporadically text me when she's clearly bored and has nothing else to do. I haven't seen her in years. After high school our interests and views changed pretty dramatically.
Awww, everyone has fillings! I don't know a single person who never had one. Did you see an x-ray? The dentist always showed me my cavities on x-ray so I could clearly see them myself. I have a bunch of fillings (didn't go to the dentist between ages 9-19, don't ask lol), and while it wasn't fun to have them done, it's really NBD.
@moonbeam This is why I LOVE to hide people from my newsfeed. I don't have to see their crap but I don't have to delete them either. I have reasons I like to still be connected to them.

@moonbeam- I actually had a convo yesterday with a friend about what prompts me to delete people on fb. I said it's usually one of two things - 1) you show up on my newsfeed and I realize we haven't talked in years and prob never will. I don't need to share my life with someone who isn't "in it," and 2) people who post something so blatantly offensive to me (racism, homophobia, victim blaming, etc.) that I realize it's not worth the debate to keep them in my life. That would be someone who would magically disappear from my friends list!

They did show me the X-ray, but it all looked the same as my healthy teeth which is why I got confused. It didn't look like the Google cavity pictures is searched. That's why I got paranoid.

I wouldn't assume right away that the dentist is lying about it. I'm sure there are some unscrupulous dentists around, but I really don't think that's the norm. Some of my cavities were really tiny and not deep at all. Technically you could go for years with a small cavity and nothing bad would happen, but getting the filling will prevent it from getting deeper in the long run (which could lead to needing a root canal - but again that would take quite a while, especially if you take good care of your teeth). Some dentists are also more conservative than others. My current dentist will "monitor" a spot that looks like a small cavity is developing and then re-check in 6 months. With proper brushing and flossing it can sometimes resolve itself.

The other day I got a fraud alert from my credit card, they flagged a $15 purchase at Target, which was random. DH joked it was because I didn't use any coupons, haha. Thank goodness there was no real fraud issue, we went through a series of them a while back and it was so annoying to keep changing accounts/cards.
Just got back from lunch with my friend. I really like her, but it just confirmed why I need to continue to move her to acquaintance verses friend. She's such a gossip. If she leaves her current dance partner, I might reconsider. But not right now.

I hate that my insurance company and the hospital I went to for a procedure feel it is MY responsibility to request and send medical records for them. I do that in my JOB, you need to do it in yours! (I guess this is more of a vent...sorry)
Random: I feel as if more MLM companies are popping up.
I was exhausted this morning. DH and I have been fussing a lot lately (both of us thinks the other needs to be doing more, ugh, not productive) and I think between that and G I was just done when the day started. My mom could tell. She bought me a salad for lunch, watched G while I ate, and then folded all my laundry for me. Love her.

Your mom sounds like my mom. Yesterday she came to visit because I had an awful day with C on Monday. C got upset at nap time and my mom dealt with her while I showered and washed bottles and straightened up for me. I hope if I ever become a grandma that I am able to help C the way my mom helps me.
Enjoying lots of time with my brother today. It's nice to get to talk to him and hang out alone without my H for just a while! (Even if that sounds bad)
We've gotten frozen yogurt, played a round of mini-golf, now going to go play some tennis then out to a nice dinner when my H gets off work at 7. Then a few board games later tonight

Being a mother of a special needs kid is hard. I wish people would understand. I'm not a bad parent I don't neglect my kid I just don't know what to do. I'm at my whit's end with this kid. I'm tired and bruised all of the time. I just wish we could make some head way with her communication skills. I wish she understood the concept of danger. I feel like a failure of a parent.
I'm working the day shift today, and I'm so tired. Urg I'm thinking about getting my iron tested again. I feel like it's low again and that's the reason I am tired all the time.
I just got complimented on my grammar at the grocery store. (hot) The bagger asked me how I was doing, and I said, "I'm doing well." He applauded my use of "well" instead of "good." Then we had a discussion of how we learned proper grammar (he had a mean 8th grade English teacher, I was yearbook editor).
In other news, I had a good day. Massage appointment, then OB appointment. And my boss offered for me to work tomorrow, so I'm picking up a half shift tomorrow, so yay for more hours.
