Teeth

By -
Autumn has got out of the habit of brushing her teeth regularly. I tried a tactic the other day and told her that if she didn't brush her teeth, her teeth would fall out. You know what she said to that?

"I want my teeth to fall out so the tooth fairy can come." OH geez! How am I supposed to argue with that.

Well, today I told her she couldn't do anything else until she brushed her teeth, so she happily obliged.

Millie still likes brushing her teeth and even did it while we were traveling. I think she just likes to eat the toothpaste, but maybe I'm wrong.

You see what Millie has on? First of all, she picks out her own clothes. Secondly, she wishes she could run the Air Force Marathon!

No dice.

We mostly had a lazy day today. I mean, I did my normal Monday cleaning because I don't want to leave and come home to a dirty house. I watered the plants and stuff. I even took a nap. A two hour nap. I cannot figure out why I've been feeling so tired. I think partly it is because I haven't been working out. I will start that back up when we get back from my mom's house. My energy levels definitely fall when I don't work out. UGH! Not much else to report to you.

We are leaving tomorrow afternoon for my mom's. We will be there until Saturday. I should have access to my email, but I don't know if I will get updates on here or not. I will try.

I love you and miss you much.

Your current wife and favorite airman. xoxo

The count: 17 days of trying to outsmart our children.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e

I've gone back in forth in my mind a million times as to whether or not I should even write what I'm getting ready to write. When I think really hard about it, the truth is, I need to write it. I need the essence of who I am to be preserved somewhere. How I came to the decisions that I did, where my mind was at, where my heart was at in it. I need something that my children can look back on and try to understand me, or at least the essence of me. This tale begins about a month ago. I found a lump in my left breast while I was in the shower. I always do my breast exams in the shower. I'm pretty faithful about it too. About once a month or so, I check around and make sure I don't feel anything weird. That isn't easily done, you see, I have lumpy breasts, so I really don't know what I'm looking for. Lumpy breasts run in my family. This one particular day, about a month ago, I felt something that felt weird to me, but I was unsure about it.
