What I do at work. We did this around Valentines Day. So cute.

~Brittany

My Valentine's consisted of...

6:30am--alarm wakes me up
8am--I call Daniel to wish him a Happy V-day.
8:20am--get to the oral surgeon
8:25am-9am--wait while mom talks on the phone to Aetna, our insurance. They are being a huge butt and are extremely confused about if my surgery is actually covered or not or they are being extremely two-faced because they keep going back and forth from guaranteeing that it is covered to saying whoever told us that didn't know what they were talking about (even though we have all the papers that says it's covered.) My mom kept saying, "They're lucky I don't have high blood pressure b/c this would drive people up the wall!!!" I admire her patience b/c I'm already a bit aggravated b/c since my appt. was at 8:20am I still don't know for sure if I can have it today.
shortly after 9am--they take me back, stick an IV in my arm, and I'm basically in an anesthesia laughing gas dreamland after that while they numb my mouth and continue to retrieve 4 wisdom teeth from my mouth. Fun times.
about 11am--I wake up a bit drowsy with absolutely no memory of the past almost 2 hrs. I have 4 empty holes in the back of my mouth. They help me put on my jacket and escort me to the car.
11:30 Waiting in the car trying to sleep while my mom goes in Wal*Mart to get my prescription (antibiotics for precautions and strong pain killer)
Whatever time it was--eventually we got home. I went upstairs and went to bed while my mom gave me an icepack to hole on my slightly swollen face and medicine to take. I slept with my favorite teddy, Fuzzy Spike, in my arms, wishing I had instead who gave him to me.
sometime after 3pm--Daniel comes to see me in my slightly embarrassing, slightly swollen, slightly drugged state. He brought me some flowers, a certain kind of pink daisy (germaines or something?), one of my favorites, and a bunch of other goodies to help me feel better soon. The best medicine was above all, seeing him. : D My sweetie.
Shortly after, he left so I could get some rest.
The rest of the day I mostly slept. It wasn't until about 6pm that I had anything to eat or drink besides one glass of water that day. I tried to eat some tapioca pudding Daniel had brought me but then after one bite I realized that that might not be the best thing to have at this time since the tapiocas could get lodged into a hole and do whatever damage that causes extreme discomfort. So I put that sorrowfully back into the fridge, decide to have a strawberry creme mouse he also got me. Yum. I attempt at taking a bite of the pasta he also gave me. Get a little paranoid, and put the rest back into the fridge for later. *sigh*
I got some V-day candy from my fam (which I really can't eat until I'm better). But it's really good candy. Chocolate covered coffee beans and chocolate covered bing cherries. Watched Ghost on ABCfamily, ate some ice cream. Yum yum! And did a little work on Daniel's and my collage.
Daniel and I really celebrated our Valentine's last Sat. I REALLY enjoyed every minute I think. :)
Hope everyone had a nice Valentine's! Know that I less than 3 you!
I<3you

I'm hope I am well enough to go to church tonight. Just no one touch my mouth or I might cry!

3:46PM - Things I miss...

I miss squeeze-its...and orange tic-tacs...and thinking that the ninja turtles might really live in the sewer under Disney World. I miss having my whole family under one roof. I miss waking up early Christmas morning to make Christmas cards for my parents because they had posted the sign "Do not wake Mr. and Mrs. Santa Claus before 8am." on their door. I miss spending so much time looking at kids books and magazines trying to figure out what they said and what the story was because I could not yet read. I miss building with legos and log cabin blocks with my brothers. I miss hiding under our house making clay mountains and thinking I could make a real brick out of water, clay, and one of those floor vents becuase I saw them make it on Reading Rainbow (well, not exactly like that). It never really worked. I miss coming home from school and doing cheers for my dog hunter because I wasn't a cheerleader but I knew he would watch me...and he did. I miss my old dog Hunter. I miss taking horsey-back rides on my dad's shoulders on the way to bed...then getting back up so he would do it again. I miss watching the home videos of my dad reading children's books he made for me because he was away for work. I miss playing with my barbies outside my house sitting on the icebox. I miss drawing pictures with crayons in our back yard trying to be like my mom while she sat outside doing her Bible study. I miss looking at a picture my sister drew and wishing I could draw like that. I miss being taught how to read by my mom and brother using a hooked-on-phonics book. I miss being a new big sister and being able to stop my little brother from crying by holding him in front of a mirror and calmly talking to him. I miss taking vacations with my whole family to our resort in the Florida keys in our big old van and piling pillows real high on the back seat so my head could touch the ceiling. I miss old friends sleeping over at our first house. I miss kids birthday parties we would have. I miss thinking Dustin was crazy for believing there was a crocodile in Martin Lake where we swam for my birthday party. I miss being timid because I still had the feeling that the big raft's shadow in the middle of the late was really a whale or a huge shark that just laid in the bottom of the lake but could strike at any moment. I miss the club houses my brother and I would make in our woods where we would play cards (war and go fish) and shawn would almost always cheat. Our club was complete with a homemade feather pen. I miss believing Shawn when we were in our club and I had to use the restroom badly. It started thundering but wasn't raining but shawn promised me it wasn't thunder, that it was a war going on and we just culd see it from where we were but if I were to run to the house they would see me and shoot. That was a tense moment in my life. Finally I ran to the bathroom so I wouldn't pee my pants but I was scared! I miss walking to the road with my older brother because he forgot to take out the trash again ad he was scared to go by himself at night. We would make sure to be load so to scare off the snakes and coyotes. I only found out later he was really scared because my dad had hid in the woods once and scared the crap out of him as he passed. I miss climbing our neighbors magnolia trees. I miss the time my brother told me I couldn't get down because there was a poisonous snake that would bite me in the tree. I miss sharing a room with my sister. We had bunk beds and at night she would turn the radio on on the top bunk. I would join her listening to the music until I fell asleep but I would first beg her to put on Rappin' Rabbit for me. I miss thinking I was the luckiest girl because when we were at the gas station my sister told me I could pick out whatever candy I wanted. I picked skittles. They have been one of my favorite candies ever since. I miss going to a circus and afterward riding an elephant with my brother. I missed all the road trips my family would take. I miss dressing my little brother up as a girl...another time we painted his whole face in red lipstick...we have pictures of both :) I miss wondering from which end hair and nails grew and how anything can grow for that matter...something coming from almost nothing...I'm still amazed.

I miss having merely the cares of a child.
