Taking both my kids with me to my dentist appointment. So that happened.

I’m running late.  Shocking.  I have a dentist appt at 1.  I  grab a zip lock bag and literally pour the rest of my preschoolers lunch into it.  We’re taking lunch to go today.  I put my 11 week old (Lucy) in her car seat that weighs 80 pounds and we are out the door. 

I have not showered.  Heck…I’m not sure that I showered yesterday either.  I have not combed my hair.  I AM wearing a bra and I DID brush my teeth…so I have that going for me. 

I get to my dentists office and lug my car seat, my baby, my preschooler, and my gigantic diaper bag inside.  While in the waiting room I hand my daughter the remains of her lunch and watch her dig around in the Ziploc bag full of peanut butter sandwich and cheese.

The dental tech calls me back and we get situated to clean my teeth.  The baby is immediately crying and Grace is letting me know that she HAS A HANGNAIL AND ITS GOT PEANUTBUTTER IN IT…CAN YOU GET IT MAMA?!!!!

“Play with my phone Grace” …I watch in horror as she smears peanut butter and cheese all over my iphone.  But she becomes quiet. 

I am now feeding the baby (Lucy) under a nursing cover while reclined in the dentist’s chair with my mouth wide open as the tech cleans my teeth.  I think this is the point where my peanut butter covered child thought it would be fun to jump on my leg and pretend it was a horse. 

They cleaned my teeth for about an hour while all this was going on.  And no cavities!!! 


When we were finished I gathered up my kids, made sure that my boobs were inside my shirt, and literally ran (or hobbled with stupid dumb car seat) out the door.
