> Tracie,

I know I know but the money factor is a big part. We just got ourselves

dug out form bills that took place over 2 yrs ago. We don't have

insurance and even though we are ok financially, we aren't great and

one thing like a tooth could send us spiraling down so fast it'd make

your head spin. Now yesterday Cassie said they checked eyes in school

and she needs glasses. And..... my friends jerk ex husband wants the

desk back that we have had for 3 1/2 years so we have to get a new desk

and...... we are going to Portland Or for a business trip and have to

pay for some of it ourselves. Alright, I confess I was hoping to get

some clothes while there. Anyway, it's just like everything at once. I

know the tooth is pretty much a goner. I had really bad teeth as a kid,

tons of cavities, have lots of filling and this was a big chunk of

filling and tooth that broke off. There is no repairing that. I can

handle that. It's the pain I can't stand but it is actually feeling

better the last few days. I got some dental rinse and it has helped a

lot! But thanks for your concern.

Hugs,

Gena

gena,

good luck. everythign seems to have hit you all at once and i know

exactly how that is. i am getting close to the bills being gone but

then owe my parents because they paid off a bunch for me so at least

the real ones are off my credit report. did the guy loan you the

desk or give it, because if he gave it that is really really jerky.

he sounds horrible. have fun shopping even if you don't get

anything. and wal-mart and shop-ko have raelly cute glasses for

reasonable prices.
