Why you should get your wisdom teeth out at 18...

So, I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday...finally! Yes, it is about 15 years late, but they were causing so much problems I had to do it. So, here is my top 10 reasons why I shouldn't have waited....
10) I had my kindergartner with me. (I droped Andrew off at preschool on the way)
9) I cried. Yes, there were tears, before the dentist started, I was so afraid. I am suprised he could even keep hold on my teeth I was shaking so bad.
8) Because I am now an adult, I had to pay for it (no longer mom and dad's insurance) therefore, I could not afford to be put to sleep.
7) My roots were so long, they grew over the bone, and wraped themselves around eachother. This made it especially fun because every time he pulled, my head lifted 2 inches off the chair... and unfortunatley, I was awake (see #8)....
6) I had no time to recover, off to get Jayden to Kindergarten and pick up Andrew from preschool. (and yes, to be completly honest, I was still shaky and traumatized, and probably shouldn't have been driving)
5) Had to pick up my own prescription, with the gauze still in my mouth... why did I choose Target Pharmacy... I wouldn't have been out of place at all at Walmart!
4) Still no down time, and couldn't take the medicine either, because I had to get Caroline from school....
3) Off to babysit 80 kids at the Stake Musical practice from 6-9:45pm... at least I wasn't bleeding so I could take out the gauze...
2) There is no one to take care of me... at least at 18 most moms will cook, do laundry, and drive you where you need to be when you feel like crud!
1) NO MORE TOOTH FAIRY!!!! What's the point, I didn't even get 50 cents.

Oh wow- I can't believe you did all that right after getting your teeth out- all I wanted to do was sleep for like 4 days after I got mine pulled. but that was probably the sleep meds- I hate that stuff. you are an amazing- super- person! it's a little late to ask if I can take J to school for you, but I would have
