Randomness

Last night before going to bed, I had a few thoughts flying through my head.

While brushing my teeth last night, I decided the kids need a cabinet above the toilet in their bathroom. Currently there is a shelf with some decorative items. But I really think they need a cabinet to hold toilet paper refills, extra shampoos, soaps, etc. Plus, as the girls get older they'll need a place to store their feminine items. (yikes--that is coming too soon!). The cabinet can't be too deep. We've never hung a cabinet before. It can't be that hard, can it? There is a door between where the sinks are and the toilet/shower area. There are cabinets under the sink, but not exactly accessible when in the other area.

Also, yesterday I read this post by Christy and this post by Stacy. (First, let me say, I am not a huge blog reader during the day but yesterday had a few minutes to browse and came across these----not a coincidence). Both of which helped me in my journey to be who *I* need to be for me and my family. A particular situation happened yesterday that caused hurt in my heart. I had to keep telling myself that what I do is GREAT, especially if *I* am happy with it and my family is happy with it.

Finally, the other thing . . . do you find it hard to change your routine? In January, I got a mouthguard to wear at night. At a dental visit in December, the dentist said I needed one. I was clamping my teeth so hard that I had cracked two molars, including a filling in one of them. As he was preparing one of my teeth for a temporary crown, and I had a rubber dam on my mouth, he asks, "Are you stressed?" As I stared at him in disbelief, I wanted to scream, "FIRST of all, I can't talk because of this incredibly uncomfortable contraption on my mouth; SECOND, my best friend just died last week; THIRD, my husband is on a business trip for a week in Europe, where major snowstorms are predicted; and FOURTH, Christmas in 10 days away and I haven't thought about a single gift to give to my children or family." And he asked if I was stressed?!

Anyway, back to routines . . . so since I have to wear this hard-plastic mouthguard at night (that BTW already has dents on the smooth underside), I have been trying to use a mouth rinse before going to bed (Crest ProHealth) to help my teeth be extra-clean before sticking a cover on them all night. Well, I'm having a hard time remembering to use the rinse. Not part of my normal routine. But I like using it and need to figure out a way to incorporate it so it isn't forgotten. Do you have a hard time with routine changes?

Just some randomness on this Wednesday . . .
