I was awake half the night with tooth problems. My teeth have been bad for years (too many years of no dental insurance, plus a healthy dental phobia caused by a sadistic dentist when I was 10 years old = me, not really eager for a trip to the dentist). My dental health really started to go downhill with my second pregnancy, and has only become worse from there. Last October, I had surgery scheduled to remove my impacted wisdom teeth, plus two other broken teeth, but had to cancel during the whole management switchover at work.
Anyway, I had a flare up last night. For those of you who have never experienced the excruciating pain of an exposed dental nerve...well, it's excruciating. I would much rather have four natural labors in one day. Thankfully, last night's flare up was mild (not all all like the one from two weeks ago that left me crying and moaning, curled in the fetal position on my kitchen floor...), but it still left me unable to sleep. Lack of sleep led to sleeping in a bit too long this morning, and my productivity has been shot to hell all day.
Self employment is a constant battle to stay on task, stay productive, stay on top of everything. This is difficult on the best of day, when I've got the kids screaming at me, the two (almost three!) year old is tugging at my skirts, and I can't think straight. When I haven't had any sleep, I can't cobble two coherent thoughts together. I've been whiling the hours away surfing Pinterest and playing games on my tablet. Super professional business owner, right here.
On the bright side, my dental surgery has been rescheduled for the first week of June, and there's nothing to get in the way this time.
Okay.....enough putting off my work. Time to buckle down and act like a grown up.
