Just got back from taking youngest son to the dentist to have a cavity filled. When It was over I called him a “brave little soldier” for declining Novocaine. He’s 6′ 4″ Not exactly a “little” anything. LOL.

He declined for practical reasons. Novocaine (pain killer) leaves you in a bit of a mess, unable to feel a swath of your mouth for several hours. Son had designs on the unfinished lunch of boneless barbeque-honey chicken wings still out in our car which we’d not had time to finish prior to his appointment. I’d had three pieces of the chicken nugget-sized “wings” (they look nothing like wings). He finished off everything in the car for a total of 17 pieces! He explained he’d had no breakfast or lunch and hey, no problem I told him, Moms like it when their kids eat!

It’s another bitter cold day or would be if there was any wind. Upside is it’s partly sunny. Down side: We are supposed to have record low temperatures tomorrow. This weather is so hard on people who have to be outside including my eldest son who takes public tran to work–such as it is here in Chicagoland. February, though the shortest month seems to crawl by at a snail’s pace.
