Here are the rules for the tag: Link the person who tagged you. Mention rules on your blog. Tell about 6 quirks of yours. Tag 6 fellow bloggers to do the same. Leave a comment to let them know. I was tagged by Michele, thank you so much!
#1 - I actually organize the clothes in my closet according to color, except for my dresses and they all go together. It's just my clothes though. Bryce's clothes can be put away randomly.
#2 - I'm obsessive about the way the dishes are put away in the dishwasher. If someone else puts something away, I will move it to be put away the right way. That's why I usually just load the dishes myself. :)
#3 - The bed has to be made first thing. If I get up before Bryce and have to leave before he's really gotten out of bed, it drives me nuts to think that the bed is unmade and I have to make it as soon as I get back or as soon as Bryce gets out of bed.
#4 - If I start working on something, I have to keep working on it until it's finished. I can't leave it undone or it drives me nuts.
#5 - If I've just cleaned a room, I try to keep the kids out of there for a bit so it will stay clean for a few minutes at least.
#6 - I really, really, really hate to be late to things. I will sometimes leave earlier than I really need to in order to be there a little early. And if I have to wait for someone, I get really impatient with them.
Okay, now I am tagging:

9th Visit
Last night I had my 9th dentist appointment dealing with my lower back molar (tooth #31, if that means anything to you). I was really looking forward to this particular appointment. No numbing, just take off the temporary crown, put on the permanent crown, and done. No more having to deal with work on this tooth anymore. I was really, really hoping the crown would fit and they wouldn't have to send it back to the lab to redo and I would have to go back another time.
I got to the dentist a few minutes early, so waited a few minutes to go back. The dental assistant took me back and took off the temporary crown and started trying on the new one. She would have me bite down and ask how it seemed. She seemed to think it was a little high. At that point I kept thinking, "Please no, just fit."
The dentist came in and was fitting it too, then decided he needed to cement it in and then check it better, since it would move when he'd check it. So he cemented it in and then left for about 10 minutes to let the cement harden. When he checked it, he did have to kind of grind it down in a couple of spots and thought it might still be a little high, but it would work. So he told me that if it starts hurting that tooth or the tooth it's hitting within the next couple of days to let them know, but we're calling it done. Yay!
And now I just get to go back in 3 weeks for my next cleaning. Hopefully I won't be starting this whole process over with another tooth.

Happy Birthday to Bryce!
Today is Bryce's 34th birthday. I feel bad because it seems like this year we're really not donig much for it. He had to go in to work an hour early this morning and will probably have to stay a bit late, then I have a dentist appointment at 7:00 tonight. And he probably won't even get a cake because I don't have all the things I would need to make his favorite cake. If I had the car today, I could go to the store to get the things I would need for it, but I let him take it because he seems to prefer to take it when I don't need it for doctor appointments or things like that. So I do feel a little bad.
It's incredible to me that he was 10 years younger than he is now when we got married. I know that's how it happens when you've been married for almost 10 years, but it really doesn't seem like we should be this much older. I'm sure I'll be saying the same thing 10 years from now, only it won't seem like we should be 20 years older than when we got married. We had our first kiss 10 years ago 2 days after his birthday. It's amazing how fast time flies.
I'm so lucky to be married to such a smart, talented, and wonderful man. He's a great dad and a great husband. I hope he has a very happy birthday, even though we probably won't get a chance to really celebrate it today.

Today's appointments
This morning I took Daniel in to the ENT to see about getting tubes. After hearing about the number of ear infections he has had over the past 8 months, the doctor said that he would be a good candidate for the tubes. He then checked out his ears to see how they were looking now. The left ear was of course fine, and he just looked for a second in the right ear and said, "This one burst." So apparently his ear drum burst with his last ear infection. He said that the hole had healed already and it wouldn't cause problems, which is always a good thing. Daniel is now scheduled to have tubes put in his ears on the 5th of November. Hopefully that will help reduce the number of ear infections, or at least help so he won't have too many problems because of them.
Alex's speech therapy was basically across the street from the ENT office and we had a few extra minutes, so I made a couple of calls from the van before we headed over. The first was to tell Bryce about how Daniel's appointment went and to tell him about a voicemail I got while I was in the office. The second was returning the call to the person who left me the voicemail. It was the receptionist at my dentist's office saying that my crown came in early and if we wanted, we could schedule my appointment for earlier in the week. It worked out really well to schedule it for Monday evening, even though it's Bryce's birthday then, so I did reschedule. I figured it would be one less time I'd have to make Katie tend my kids for me, and hopefully I'll get the tooth finished a few days sooner than I would have. The appointment on Monday will be the 9th time I've been to a dentist for this particular tooth. Yep that's right, I'll have gone nine times. (Yes, I picture that in Mr. Rooney's voice..."Nine times.") Knowing my luck, the crown won't fit and so I'll have to make it an even 10. I'm really hoping that won't be the case though. And Bryce's suits that were supposed to be ready on Monday are already ready, so he can go pick those up early too. Bonus.
Since I had Daniel with me, Alex had to go back to do his speech therapy session by himself today. His therapist Trisha told me that he did really well on his l's today, in every position. He did refuse to talk again when she did the g's. So today he didn't get a sticker. That was the first thing he told me. "I didn't even get a sticker today." Poor kid.
