The extra traumatizing experience of going to the dentist

Today, I went to the dentist...3rd time...Let's recap...First time: xrays and look at my mouth, which took 1 and a half hours from work. Second time: Cleaning...Third time: fix one cavity (2 in one appointment would be pushing it for this people).
I don't know if I've said this before but I have a phobia (aka irrational fear) to the dentist. It is an irrational fear because I've had nothing but great dentist up until today...The guy was a jerk...and I like everybody...
Retain the fact that I'm terrified of the dentist. The dental assistant brings me in, puts the bib thing on me, and asks "Cata, don;t you remember me?" I look at her and say "No". "Don't you know who I am? I said "No". She took her mask of and asked again "don't you know who I am?"..."Who are you?" "Jesse"..."Jesse?? Michael's Jesse??" "Yes, Michael's ex"...
Jesse decided to move to Chicago one day and leave Michael...Michael started dating me...Jesse (aka psycho) started calling me everywhere, threatening me...Anyways...Now she's holding the tools...at a dental office...My heart rate went up about 20 beats per minute...and that's how it stayed the whole time...while she played best friend (wtf???) and talked and talked and talked....Asked me about the girls and how she'd seen Cathy, and Kendra and Jayden....Very traumatizing experience...
At the end, the dentist said "Come back!"...Sucks...My whole left side of my face was numb most of the day...
I went at lunch time so I was starving all day...When I was filing...I felt like I was about to pass out...when my angel friend came by and gave me chocolate covered almonds :).
After that Financial Class, to Em's middle of nowhere temporary home...It was a little disorienting to get there but so worth it...I felt so peaceful, the breeze, the smell, everything was so relaxing...Mmmm...so great...Great company, great conversation, great surroundings...
Time for bed...

Fibark and the Rain (my natural high)

I'm dreading going to work tomorrow...It's been such a fun weekend and I know there will be tons of work tomorrow, after Fibark weekend...
The parade was great...even though I wasn't truly "proud" of our float...it was fun just to walk it. The girls loved throwing candy (it was not tossing, it was throwing), and they looked so cute in the wagon w their sailor hats...After that we pretty much came home, ate lunch and napped.
The Hooligan Race is the best event of the whole weekend...People are so drunk that, if they lit a match...they'd probably go on fire...The River was the highest I've ever seen it (I've only been here 5 years though)...In our safety talk they said "If you don't know how to swim very well don't go down the river [...] If you are wasted it might not be a good idea to go down either"...Like there was one person w no alcohol in their bloodstream...My friend Emily shared the last beer w me, which was the next (huge)step in our relationship...And there we went downstream...it was a blast, until we hit the bridge...our Styrofoam shark made a pretty loud noise when it split in 2...and nobody (from our team) was there to get us out...we tried a few times to get close to shore but it wasn't happening...so we made the executive decision to let the boat go and hang on to our lives (aka swim to shore)...I wouldn't have mind going to all the way to Canyon City (Home Depot), but I didn't have my debit card with me...Also, the way I looked (shorts wetly attached to thighs) wouldn't have granted me a ride home.
After the race, I went looking for my girlies, left them w Grandma and went home to get changed to go out...The bands were amazing...The music was just awesome...I enjoy live music sooo much...Plus, this women's band made you feel like getting up on stage yourself...I really like dancing but my friend doesn't...That was the only thing...
When I went to pick up my daughters (at an early 11 o'clock), Olivia was wide awake talking with her uncle in the porch...That little girl amazes me...30 lbs of pure energy...
All in all, it was great...I absolutely love being part of events...However, we missed a lot of other events because of it...So. I'm thinking I might do a year of participating and a year of not...or something like that...IT'S ALL ABOUT BALANCE.... (I think that's my new motto)...
Today, we skipped seeing all the hangover/pass out people at the park...and we just stayed home, made a picnic...organized the massive amount of clothes someone gave me for the girls, and had some great one on one time panting w Kyrsten while Olivia was sleeping...
We also went out w our umbrellas to the rain...Feeling the rain...mmmm...I love the rain...and here it doen't rain that much...and I want my kids to enjoy these wonderful natural highs there are...I know rain is not that exciting, but I love it...Don't judge me!
Have a great week everyone!!!
