This, that, and the other

The big news in our house is that Connor, 5, has a loose tooth. He's very excited. He's being a bit melodramatic about the whole thing though, as is his nature. He's a minature drama queen.

"My mouth hurts soooo bad, Mommy! Do SOMETHING", Connor moans while rolling around on the floor.

"What would you like me to do, Connor?", I say trying to be patient, understanding, yet in a firm voice that suggests I will not tolerate whining and unnecessary carrying on.

"I don't know Mom, it's my loose TEETHES! MOM! What am I a gonna do if ALL my teeth fall out, MOM?!?! What then? How will I eat, I'm gonna starve, MOM! OWWWW, my mouth!"

"Connor, kids for thousands of years have been losing baby teeth. It's no big deal. It just means that your grown up teeth are coming in, that's all. You're not going to lose them all at once, I promise. That baby tooth is barely even loose. You'll be fine and you'll be able to eat, I promise".

"What?!?!?! I have other teeth in my mouth besides my baby teeth?", Connor screeches while holding his jaw like a dentist is heading at him with a drill. "Does this mean I am getting Daddy teeth? Will they be big like Daddy's teeth?? My mouth isn't big enough for Daddy teeth!!!", Connor is yelping and jumping around with his hand over his mouth at this point.

"Connor, your teeth will be just the right size for your mouth. Don't worry about it. This is just what happens when you're 5, remember? Trent has lost baby teeth and he's just fine, he hasn't starved once, alright?"

"Yeah, whatever, Mom can I watch Manny NcPhee?" That's Nanny McPhee for those of you who don't speak 5-year-old. :)

And, as exicitng as that story was, do you wanna know about my ever elusive job search? I know that you do and it's been keeping you up nights, so here goes. I went for my interview Friday which turned out to be a really long (2 hours) and HARD testing process. I must have done alright 'cuz I was scheduled for an interview yesterday at 3:30, which lasted for almost 2 hours as well. I must have done okay at that interview because I have ANOTHER interview today at 2. I don't know if I am such an ideal candiate that the company is trying to determine if I am for real or not and trying to find a crack in my stellar abilities. Maybe they are looking into the company's finances to see just how much money they want to offer me??

Or maybe they are stalling me in hopes the authorities will show up in time to cart me off to the nut house? I have no idea. All I know is that I have to be there today, again, at 2 PM SHARP! I may or may not be having a stroke at this point, I couldn't tell you for sure. I will keep you posted.
