I am finally getting to go to the endodontist tomorrow......Yea!! I've been waiting to see her since last friday. She has been booked up but she fit me in....at 7:45 in the morning, all the way in Frisco. It's about 25 miles from my house and with the morning traffic I'll have to leave an hour before. My husband offered to take me but he scheduled his car to get the oil changed and a few other things at the dealership at 7:00 am that morning all the way in Plano (which is about the same distance as Frisco from where I live). I think I'm going to take him up on it. I have never been this excited to see an endodontist before (well I've only been to an endodontist one other time in my life). After I switched antibiotics I could really feel the difference and my tooth and jaw feel so much better but I found out that if I needed a root canal that once I stop the antibiotics it will not only come back but come back worse and I don't want that to happen over Thanksgiving.
We are going to the in-laws for Thanksgiving (just outside of Tulsa around a town called Adair). They invited my parents and my mom accepted which surprised the heck out of me. It should be fun, especially if my tooth feels normal.
My daughter (the 15 year old) had to make a Latin food for one of her classes today. They are suppose to do everything themselves and bring samples to school for the other kids to try. So I decided I was going to let her do EVERYTHING (except shop for the ingredients). She looked up recipes, picked the one she wanted. She chose to make Brigadeiro. Brigadeiro's are like a Brazilian version of a bon bon. Here is a link to the recipe she used:

). I must say that they turned out great and were quite tasty.
Oh we have/had RATS in our attic. We have a field behind us and for the past two years when it gets cold they have come into our attic. I heard them scratching around in the walls for about two days before my husband went up there and put poison and traps. The first day he did it he put a lot of poison up there and went back in the afternoon to see if any got caught in the traps. There were none in the traps but ALL of the poison was gone. That is when my husband said they had to be rats not mice. I don't know why but the thought of mice in the attic seems so much better than rats.
For the next couple of days I heard the rat/rats run around and I was like DIE ALREADY YOU DIRTY MOTHER F*CKERS then I heard the trap go off in the gutter (my husband had put a couple in the gutters as well). We got one. I was so excited. My husband said it was rather small for a rat but that it was a rat and not a mouse. In the mean time my husband went hunting with some friends on saturday and I was scared of the rats. Our dogs (especially Toby) were freaking out at this one rat in the wall. He was on a chair in my room and just looking at this area on the wall. It was fun for awhile watching the dogs going all crazy but then I was freaking out thinking "What if they chew though the sheet rock and then come and get me......"
I took an ambien as was able to sleep through the night.
I didn't really hear anything the following day. Then sometime during the early morning hours I heard the snap of the trap again in the gutter. The ****er was flipping all around, he was fighting it but then it went quiet. In the morning my husband went out there and got the dirty little vermin. He saw two areas where they could have gotten into the attic and when he is sure that they are all dead he will close them up. He has to leave them open because when they are dying the poison makes them extremely thirsty so they come out and look for water. They have to be able to get out of the attic or else they will die in there and reek.
