Well, it was bound to happen. Ryan has 3 fake teeth, right up front. When he was in 7th grade, he was in an accident and he mangled his face up pretty bad, including (especially) his teeth. He's had many many surgeries and grafts and implants (for the teeth) and for the past few years he's had 3 temporary teeth, held in place with titanium screws.
Anywho.
Last night our friends Dave and Liz came over to hang out. We went and played a little football in the soccer complex, then came back, then went to Target where we ended up getting one of those Gingerbread House kits. Our kit came with 5 little houses. I have pictures, they'll come at a later date.
Fast forward to today. I was out and I talked to Ryan on the phone, who told me "when you get home, we need to talk".
Yeah, that's never good.
Turns out he had tried to take a bite out of one of the houses and his teeth shattered! All 3 teeth broke right off of his screws. Gone. Toothless. Oh. Em. Gee.
Yes, let the hillbilly jokes begin, my husband looks like a hick! As funny as it looks, it is kind of serious. Aside from the discomfort/pain that comes from having that much of his gums exposed and screws sticking out of them... We also are not in a place financially for him to get his teeth fixed. I mean, obviously we'll work something out, but it's not exactly the best timing (is it ever?)
I'm really trying hard not to stress about it and trying to cast all of my cares upon the One who has the whole thing in His control.
But I'm stressing because despite the applications I've filled out, the resumes I've sent in, the follow up phone calls I've placed... I still don't have a job. Ryan works for the school district, so when school is not in session, neither is he... We were already trying to plan ahead for Christmas break (2+ weeks of no paycheck) and this just isn't going to be easy.
We're sort of used to money drama though :P So I know it will work itself out. God has always provided the exact amount that we've needed right when we've needed it. Whether it be random money coming from random places, or photography jobs or payments coming in. He's always taken care of us.
I've posted some pictures on facebook of his crazy hillbilly smile ;) It's a face only a wife could love ;) Kidding!!! Hehe!!
Anyway, that was the big excitement of our day, and we got to forget some of that stress at Ryan's sister's and his dad's birthday party. Steak, Salmon, mashed potatoes... mmm... comfort foods, I tell ya ;)
Would you mind praying that I get a job? Not just any job - because if I wanted to take just any LPN job, I'd be employed by now. I specifically am looking for an LPN job that works with our current schedule so that we don't have to put the boys in daycare. Which means I can work overnights (I would love to do 2 or 3 12 hour shifts a week) or I could do M-F mornings (7-1130) and whenever on Saturday. I'm really really trying to get in at a certain place and am going to go there again on Monday to hopefully be a squeaky wheel... Prayers would be much appreciated. God knows the desires of our hearts and He knows what job and what hours would be best.
Thanks all!! Tylenol PM has kicked in, so I have to end this because I'm typing like a drunk and am getting frustrated with having to delete and retype all my words :P G'Night!!
