Gingi what? (Envision Scooby Doo)

I have been lazy lately. Not with the kids or the house but taking care of myself. I'm tired at the end of the night and I have been making too many excuses so I fall asleep with my make up on and my teeth unbrushed.

I guess it caught up with me because I got Gingivitis for the first time in my life. I've never even had a cavity before so that was kind of a shock. I am super annoyed with myself for letting my health go but I guess its time to get back on track.

I also realized that I am not 20 anymore. Sure it's only 10 years and I am still young but it really does make a difference. I was 22 when I had Raene and things bounced back easier and my body took less of a hit when I wasnt kind to it. I got lectured by the dental hygienist for not realizing that lactating takes a lot away from my personal health and that I should be more vigilant about taking care of my mouth.

lesson learned. 50 year old dental hygienists will make you feel bad if you forget to brush your teeth at night. Oh and your mouth will start hurting.
