Life without Mom (day 5)
We’re off to the dentist this morning. I realized this morning I haven’t updated anyone but Kim (via phone) on our adventures here in the shoe.
I was going to dash off a funny squib about our little odyssey here but then I realized that this is the second day in a row we have to be out of the house on a deadline, so it will have to wait a bit
Yes I DO have a renewed appreciation for my wife, not that it is hard to appreciate a lady who bears eight children, keeps my cozy home, and writes such a funny and engaging blog, but I DO NOT have a renewed appreciation for:
- 8 year olds with thick hair that cry and writhe through the hair brushing process
- 6 year olds who keep trying to restyle their hair when they are supposed to be doing their chores
- 9 year olds who scrub sand into their younger siblings hair on Sunday afternoon (Dad it was our game) and don’t tell any one until Monday morning RIGHT BEFORE YOU LEAVE FOR THE BLOOMING DENTISTS OFFICE…GRRR
- 9 and 11 year olds who can’t make scrambled eggs without bickering, while the 6 year old is dawdling, the 8 year old is crying, the 3 year old is asking you to tie her dress, and the boy is stomping around the house yelling “DOG” at the top of his lungs…but I digress
I’ve got to dash off for a 3 hour tour of the dentist (WHY didn’t I have her change that appointment date) so the more complete description of our life without mama will have to wait.
We miss you dear

I think your dentist is running a skam. You guys are there soooooo much. But wait, I think ALL dentists run scams, say AAAAAAAHHHH at your own risk.
You’re going great, Perry!
Kim, he had them all at church on time, looking lovely and seeming quite put-together. They have us all fooled. Oh, but when I asked your dear son where Mommy is, his answer is, “Mama’s dead”. I assured him (as did his sisters) that indeed, Mommy is NOT dead, and she will be back in just a few days. Better hurry before he tries to recruit a replacement!
oh yes… the “Dentist the dentist” my hubby calls it!
Pay back is GREAT!
Ah ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
love,
Dad and Grandpa
I love you, hunney. I’ll bet the whole dental office will be cooing over you the next time I go in.
Greetings Perry from the Confused Weather State.
I saw your beautiful wife and charming daughter yesterday and it was a delight to have them in our home. Kim said she misses you all much. Keep up the good work. You are an inspiration to us Dad’s out here.
That sounds like a lot of fun!
And “Good Job” to daddy to handle all this!
Thanks Eric,
We miss her bunches as well.
It’s not a strain here, all my daughters have had great training
I just should have scheduled my time better - I still have many priorities in the wide world pressing in on my time with the children.
Live and learn.
I’m appreciate you guys making your home available yesterday. Kim told me last night how much fun she had, I wish I could have been there too!
Say hello to Karen from all of us here in the Lone Star State.
