And a child will lead them to better habits.... maybe

So in the good news/bad news department today we have a new habit to acquire....

Flossing our teeth

Two out of three members of this household went to the dentist today. (Actually, all three of us went to the dentist, but only two had appointments.... somebody was just the chauffer...hee hee)
These two members of the household BOTH were discovered to have cavities. And both parties were told that these could have been prevented by regular use of dental floss and mouthwash...

So, this evening, after dinner, after a shower, 2/3 of us brushed AND flossed AND rinsed teeth with flouride mouth rinse (actually, mine was just regular mouth wash - I need to get some adult flavored flouride mouth rinse... bubble gum just doesn't do much for me!)

I am hoping that our good example will inspire the remaining 1/3 of us to do what we did before going to bed.

Oh, and about dinner - well eaten by all but one mildly picky eater.... who complained of hunger pains before bed, but was refused a snack because dinner was mildly rejected (mashed potato - not the preferred method of potato consumption).

Mark deboned the chicken and it is now ready to be turned into chicken taco salad or burrito tomorrow evening.

Leftover mashed potato may be turned into potato latke (pancakes) later this week.... those will be eaten up lickety split! Delish with raspberry jam and a little sour cream....hmmm good lenten food. (non lent - add ham!)

More ramblings later.

Tomorrow brings a short, busy morning at work, lunch with a dear friend and the gift of confession - methinks I will be ready for a good lent.
