Weekly Review- The nosedive week

This week started out so good, but took a nosedive right in the middle. Seriously. I had lesson plans all though out and written down, but then Wednesday came and it all went in the crapper. I don't even remember what we did Monday through Wednesday morning since Wednesday afternoon knocked us for a loop.

Sassy had an ortho appointment to get her appliance put in Wednesday at noon. All was going well, til 5 minutes before we left. We received a phone call from his dad about another of our homeschooling families. I'm not gonna say what it was about, but it was one of those things you NEVER see coming. I was stunned speechless, which you know, is not common. It's one of those things that have you walking around your house going "I still can't believe this." But I had to still take Sassy. The world must go on.

All I can say is that I'm glad she ate a good lunch. She has only eaten 4 apple sauces, two yogurts and a bowl of jello, since then. With the occasional milk and juice. Her mouth hurts and when she tries to eat, the food gets stuck in between her top appliance and the roof of her mouth. She gags to free it. So she won't eat. If you've seen the pictures, you know she is one person that can't afford not to eat.

She feels horrible and she blames me for it. Her and I were yelling(not my finest moment) at each other. She keeps saying that if I'd like her the way God made her, that I wouldn't put her through all this. :( She also blames God for making her with goofy teeth. No matter what I say, this is what she believes. She hates her life. :( I am heartbroken over this. No matter what I say to her, she doesn't believe me. I try and tell her that if we don't do this, she will have pain when her other teeth com in, but she doesn't listen. She is so hungry that she can't listen to reason. I'm giving it til Monday, then I'm taking her back in. I am NOT having a horrible Christmas over this. They'll have to come up with something else. We can't have her on a liquid diet for the next 4 months. That will not happen. I'd rather have her molars pulled out, to make space, than go through this. If not, she's living with someone else. I can't live watching her and listening to her blame me.

This is what she made me. :(

So if you're reading this, we'd really appreciate your prayers. This week really sucks and we need a better one next week.
