Today I had my mouth piece put on that will, hopefully, keep me from looking like Jay Leno when I get older. Lemme 'splain. I have a severe jaw-extended cross bite on the left side of my mouth that I am trying to get fixed through orthodontics. If I let it go my jaw will keep extending until I have a Jay Leno Jaw. Whoo. They're trying to fix it by putting a device across the roof of my mouth that I have to expand by turning a key, to try and get my upper teeth to match up with my lower teeth. If this doesn't work it looks like oral surgery. So pray that this works! Did I mention they also installed spacers on my bottom teeth? Well they did.

Since I can't swallow very well, my speech pattern had changed slightly; now I sound like like Kermit in this clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=h8eMwNfzVqY


I spent the night last night at my babysitting post with little Thomas More who is nine months old. I went to bed at midnight, was up again at 3:30 and again at 6. I never knew exhaustion could reach such heights. So tonight in my floating tiredness I am going to stay up late with an aching mouth studying for a 7:30 Chemistry test that I am not too confident about. Yah, prayers would be good.

Here I go......
