So this morning I wake up to check my email at 5 to see if school was cancelled due to snow... No email till 6:15 but ultimately cancelled. Walked in the bedroom to get a diaper & Pat is home, this makes me really happy. It must be bad out if he is home, turn on the huge flood lights to look at the road, yup it's covered in snow. It even takes me a minute to make out the car in the driveway.
Taylor wakes up around 7:30... & I am contemplating if I can make it to my dentist appointment that I have already rescheduled twice. I really want to go & get it over with. Just a simple cleaning but a very much needed one. Then I get the genius idea.. Hey Pat is home maybe they can squeeze him in too. So around 8 I wake him up & ask him too look outside to see if he thinks we can make it to the dentist. He says NO, but I am thinking he just doesn't want me driving. So I say what if I can get you an appointment will you go.. he says yes but only cause he is sure they wont be open.
I call & they are open, so with a haha I tell Pat he is going & that I am calling his parents to see if we can drop the kids off there & they said it was fine. Now it is time to rush cause its 9 & the appointment is at 10 in Port. You see, Patrick my love, has no concept of time & thinks he can get anywhere in 15 minutes, everything I have to be at appointment wise that he is involved with I am always late for when its just me I am always early. So I immediately get into Drill Sargent mode.. Lissi get dressed, Pat get dressed, brush your teeth, It's OK Taylor, stop crying we are going to see Pop & Grandma, Mommy knows you hate the car seat, Patrick lets go move it. Alyssa are you dressed? Grab the box of Cheerios & bring it there.. Patrick seriously lets go.. Did you clean off the car? Alyssa are you dressed, I know Tay Mommy's right here... All this while I am running from room to room getting dressed & reloading the diaper bag. (I am a little high strung)... Everyone in car.. 9:30 & we are off. The road is interesting to say the least, but Pat can handle it.
Driving there I am thinking.. Am I that desperate for some alone grown up time with Pat that I will venture out in a crapload of snow & soon to be ice storm to go to the dentist?? Answer.. YES. Plus I really wanted my teeth cleaned before Taylor's christening.
We make it to the dentist.. 14 cavities between us, 7 each actually. The dentist was surprised at how good overall our teeth were for not having been to the dentist ever in our whole adult life. Pat wanted to stay to get his fillings, but I was good for the day. So I talked him into scheduling it for another day. Headed to shop rite to get supplies for Taylor, going grocery shopping is something that Pat & I love to do together.... Diapers, wipes, formula of course apples for Lissi, steak for Pat, Milk, 60 dollars later & we are heading home to get the kids.
Sitting here tonight we are both complaining now how our teeth feel weird & hurt kinda cause they aren't used to being so clean. LOL. I just told Pat we are putting on our crest white strips in a minute so we can have gorgeous teeth. He looked at me like I was nuts.. but he will do it.
