(His first appointment is next week, and Tony's known about the amount since August.)We'll see if things calm down from his end.<BR/><BR/>River: my four are like a team with me too. They love their Dad, but they're my boys, which is only natural. I've been the one raising them for 11 years. I told Brennan that he'd get braces no matter who pays, but I felt it wouldn't be fair for their Dad not to share the payment. They all agreed. (Plus they want to go to Bali again next year, and they know that if I have to pay for Brennan's braces as well.... then we can't go. I'm not made of money, unfortunately!)Frogdancerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11125482354438056481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-3981913166675278172007-11-21T20:06:00.000+11:002007-11-21T20:06:00.000+11:00I'm on your side Frogdancer.

HIS cards - I've never had one. Anyway we (4 kids and me) sat around the table and discussed the situation and decided it wasn't worth fighting for. I was working and we were managing okay. The youngest two were already teens and the older two were also working part time.<BR/><BR/>My sympathies to Jack. I've had several root canals. The pain of an abscessed tooth is hellish.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1996204123105982433.post-58227341752949613872007-11-21T18:52:00.000+11:002007-11-21T18:52:00.000+11:00Dear NaBloMoPo participant,I'm sorry to do this, a...Dear NaBloMoPo participant,<BR/><BR/>I'm sorry to do this, and of course you don't have to follow up, but I was tagged today for a meme that is going around NaBloPoMo - one where you write 7 weird things about yourself and tag 7 others. <BR/><BR/>I have selected your blog at random (but mostly because I loved the name) to be on my list. <BR/><BR/>If you are into it, you can come over to boegle.blogspot.com to see the rules as they were forwarded to me. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad I happened upon your name, because your blog is really lovely!<BR/><BR/>Happy NaBloPoMo!Phoebe J.

PITA...Many Many Hugs, I have one of those ex's too! PITA is the nicest thing I can think to say about him and he is being relatively good at the moment, either that or he is planning something :(<BR/><BR/>Ooh and I dont envy you the four sets of teeth, I only have two kids, but both need glasses and Miss Boo is on her third set this year as her eyes keep changing rapidly and very acutely, so its not like the optometrist is ripping me off, as they happily reuse Mr Moos lenses in new frames (as he always needs new frames due to Miss Boo breaking them over his face!). <BR/><BR/>We have been to the "free" dentist this year as Mr Moo needed a filling (gee wonder why when the closest to tooth brushing is when he bites the head off the toothbrush!) but he is almost ten and currently looks like a shark with all his adult teeth coming up and around the baby teeth that refuse to leave or move. I can see extractions and braces happening in that mouth and AM NOT LOOKING FORWARD TO ANY OF IT as the free dentist doesnt "do" that sort of work.Dollfinn!https://www.blogger.com/profile/14769480785069966525noreply@blogger.com
