Eric and Kassi's Manic Monday

This Monday was not the best Monday we've had. Eric was lucky enough to have a coupon for a discounted dental exam, x-rays, and cleaning at the Mall Dental Group. So I scheduled us both appointments. Too good of a deal to pass up! Eric's appointment was at 9:00 am. He called me at 8:45 telling me the truck kept quitting on him. He was sitting in a church parking lot trying to scrape the snow off his windshield from the previous day and trying to get the truck going. Fortunately, we were able to get the truck to the shop and he still made it to his appointment. My appointment was at 10 so I showed up just as Eric was finishing. I want to congratulate him on making it into the Cavity Free Club! His name was entered in a drawing for dinner and a movie so I hope he wins. Unfortunately, the very young dentist who looked at my X-Rays thinks I have two cavities. Probably one for sure but the second one he thinks is a cavity. He wasn't sounding too sure so I'm not very confident in his dentist ability. I don't think he had been out of dental school very long. I'm sure he learned a lot but I do not want him practicing on me. So thank you, very young dentist, for telling me that you THINK I have two cavities. Now I can't be in the Cavity Free Club! They were so kind to give me a print out of my quote for my upcoming dental work, which was $236.00! Yeah, not too excited. Needless to say I did not schedule a follow-up appointment. Instead, I talked Eric into buying me a cinnamon roll from Maverik! Mmmmm. Later that day we got a call from the mechanic letting us know it was going to cost us $230.00 to fix the truck. Eric and I were depressed after finding out about all of these extra things we needed to spend money on. Not to mention the fact that we had to register our Jeep this month which was going to cost us more money. (Luckily it passed inspection so we won't have to put any extra money into it.) So much for my dream trip to Disney Land.
Did I mention that in Church on Sunday our sacrament meeting and priesthood/relief society lessons were all about trials and how good they are for us. Thanks church for jinxing us. I sat through those lessons with an "I hate trials because they are hard" look on my face. Oh and I was grumpy cuz I get paid crap at my job.
On a happier, non complaining note, today is payday and it is Friday which means I get to sleep in tomorrow!
