Ahhh, a trip to the dentist

I had a dentist appointment this morning.  I like going to the dentist.  Yes, I'm wierd like that.  And my pal ChrissyMac over at Life as a CEO would be cringing to hear me say that. 

I didn't always enjoy the dentist so much, it began after I became a mom.  One day I was lying in the chair and realized, my feet were up, my head was back and I didn't feel guilty about it even though it was the middle of the day!  I was being entertained (our hygienist is quite humorous), I got a clean bill of health, someone else was in charge of the kids... I mean really, what else could a girl ask for?

Now that my visits usually fall when the kids are in school and our beloved hygienist retired, I can't say I look forward to my appointments quite as much as I once did.  But today I was giddy.  Yup, giddy with excitement over going to the dentist.  You see, we've been burried under snow.  We keep having snow storm after snow storm and it just isn't fun or pretty any more.  Today was the 3rd snow day in a row for the kids, giving us a 6 day weekend.  I needed out of this house.  I didn't care what form it came in. Just.Get.Me.Out.  I didn't even mind being lectured about the need to floss more. 

Next time you have a dental appointment, pretend you are at the spa.  Put your feet up, your head back, and engage in some friendly banter with the hygienist....you'll see that changing your frame of mind will help your experience at the dentist!
