Summer "Falls" into Autumn

Badger had her tooth out this morning. 
Cowboy went back with her. 
He’s just better with the kids, better at calming them down and joking their fears away. 

He said they numbed it, first with something like a Band‑Aid, then with a needle, then gave her laughing gas. 
Both he and the dentist said she did great.

She’s still having a little trouble, but she’s not in any pain.
I have Tylenol with Codeine if she does start hurting, but for now she’s OK.
He wanted her to return in 3 months, and she has an appointment already scheduled for November, so that worked out just fine. 
She’s to take her antibiotic until Friday. 

I didn’t really want her to be all jumpy and active, so I’ve forced her to watch television all day or play on the computer. 
She said she’s booooored.

Today is the first day of fall.
It sure doesn’t seem like it, we’re still in the 90s.
The thing I dislike most about this time of year is that it’s so cool in the mornings you have to wear your long sleeve shirt, hoodie, jeans, and fuzzy socks. 
But around dinner time it starts heating up, and you have to strip down to flip-flops, shorts, and a tank top.
I’m telling you, someday I’m moving somewhere with only one season: hot. 
Well, like 60 at night and 80 during the day.

I have Raven scheduled for his driver’s license test. 
I couldn’t get him in for a day that school is out, so he’ll have to miss. 
He goes next month. 
He said he wants to be the first one to get his license on the first try.
I think it took Peacock three tries, and Raven’s buddy failed his first try also. 
I’m not all that sure I’m ready for a second child to be able to drive. 
They’re growing up all too fast on me.

He really needs that license. 
I’m hoping he does pass the first try.
Raven filled out an application for a job at AutoZone. 
Peacock went to work at fifteen, and it’s past time for Raven to get a job. 
But first he needs to be able to drive himself.

Dang, they have both my favorite shows on tonight. “Hoarding/Hoarders” and “Ghost Hunters.” 
Hard choice there. 
Maybe I’ll watch one episode of each, or switch back and forth during commercials. 
I’ve never been big on watching TV, but lately I’m watching quite a lot.
 I have a couple of favorites.
 “Hoarders” and “Hoarding,” they are separate shows on different channels.
 “Ghost Hunters” and “Ghost Adventures.” 
Anything with “Gordon Ramsay” in it. 
The great thing about On Demand is that I can rewatch my favorite episodes, although they don’t change them out often enough, and they don’t always have what I’d like to see.
