Sympathy Pains
Tonight as she was getting into the top bunk, Rachel (7) smashed her permanent front tooth and chipped part of it off. Yee-ouch! My tooth is throbbing in sympathetic pains. I don’t think she knocked it loose, although there was a touch of blood. Plus, since it isn’t grown in the whole way, I don’t really know how noticeable the chip will be. I’m still ouching for her.
Tomorrow, I’m hoping to dust of my Xanga-posted resolutions of last year and see how well I did. Speaking of resolutions, I am much more likely to make them in September, as that really is the start of the year. As a daughter of two school teachers, the wife of a college professor, and a homeschooling mother, how could I think otherwise? Anyone else feel as I do? January is the middle of the year (and an excuse for a good party).

I’ve never thought of it that way, Jan as being in the middle, although I’ve always felt it to be that way…
Give my condolences to Rachel.
Passing by each other in the night, or however that phrase goes. You were commenting on mine as I…never mind.
I’m very sorry I can’t come. I would love to come and play on your excellently-priced piano (you told me the story last time). I’d drive if I could, but the load is a bit big on my parents. 4-hours…if only you lived closer!!
I have several “beginnings of the year” in my life . . . September, January, and June (though June feels more end-of-the-yearish) to name the ones that immediately come to mind.
Have a wonderful party tomorrow night — wish I could join you and yours and Daniel, but I’ll have to content myself with sending cheers your way.
Happy 2007!

That’s a shame about the tooth… my cousin once chipped his front tooth on the brick of a fireplace. We were all out of our sleeping bags, and ran back to them in fear of being caught (this was like ten years ago, and wayyy passed our bedtime); and anyway, rushing back, he tripped on my brother Stephen and the whole party crashed into the fireplace. We never found the bit that broke off, so poor Chad has a fake bit added onto his front tooth. Tell Rachel that everything will be okay, because Chad turned out to be a fine fellow! Actually, I’ll just tell her the story tomorrow
Lord willing, I will leave my place around 1, so I will be in State College around 4ish. Talk to you later,
Daniel
Thank you, Mrs. Sellers.
Condolences to your daughter.
Ouch! I sympathize with anyone who has any tooth pain! I always think of Jan. being the beginning of the year, not Sept. It’s been a long time since I’ve made resolutions though. I just decide to do or work on something whenever I feel the urge.
Mary,
See…great mind think a like
I just started Twilight Friday evening. And I have New Moon waiting in the wings. They’re my daughter’s books.
God bless you. Have a grand party and a Happy New Year. As for SH, I was thinking about some of the same things.

Poor Girl! No comfort food for tooth trouble. Comfort book?
For me it is kind of like having two New Years. I set goals and rearrange things at both of those times.
I think that Mrs. B was loving, she just didn’t show it like you or I would because of her emotional immaturity. Afterall, look how she instantly hated Darcy, a rich, single man, just because of an insult to the daughter who she didn’t show much affection for. I think that she just didn’t communicate or relate well to most people, including E and that made her come off as unloving or cruel instead of just socailly clueless.
BTW, I have been meaning to say-LOVE the doll!!!
Yes! Who invented “New Year’s Resolutions” anyway?? We’re still having way too many parties (no me, personally, but in general) to make diet plans stick!
ryc: no…. no flu here! Just busy with hubby home this last week! Feel like I fell of the face of xanga! ha!! I’ve finished the book…. can’t comment now…. got online to look up a recipe for Crab Dip for tonight & I still have to call the hostess with our intentions to come!! I’m not late, she just asked us today in church & I said, “A Party!!! We’ll be there!!!”…. but I had to ask hubby first!
Hope you had a fabulous Christmas!! And have a….. HILARIOUS New Year!!! (wanted to give you a unique greeting!!
) Amy
Happy New Year! Have fun at your party tonight.
ryc: Amen to the thanks! Same here! As for the rest, aww, you shouldn’t have.
Sorry to hear about the tooth. Sounds unpleasant.
I have never made new year’s resolutions. The word resolution always makes me think of the UN, which of course makes it sound distasteful.
happy new year! (and yes, January feels like the middle of the year and not the beginning)
i have a list of things i wanted to see come true in 2006 posted on xanga a year ago. i think i will re-post it and see how many of them actually occured…. lol
my resolutions are always the same. (what does that mean? lol)
