I have been getting some work done. My girls are progressing towards the finish line in Math and I have been playing the part of schoolmarm. I have also been sharing my bank account with my dentist lately so I thought a drawing of his tools would be an appropriate entry for the sketchbook. I have considered doing an entire series of drawings called "Tools I Hate, Results I Love". I have many drawings that I can think of that would fit the bill.
I am keeping this post short and sweet. I have had a long day and trying to get actual words out is tough when I have spent the better part of the day doing Algebra and Geometry. Tomorrow, bright & early my bottom will once again be in the dentist's hot seat. There is not a single cell in my body that is looking forward to it.
Before I go, though, I want to say an ENORMOUS thank you to all of you that read my last post. I had visions of your eyes rolling about when you got your first peek at the length of it. I also want to say that I am touched that I could use this space, here, on the blog, to throw something out entirely different from what I normally do and you still read it. To all the folks from the seventeen countries that read the last post, thank you, from the very bottom of my heart.

P.S. If I happen to meet any of you tomorrow and I come off as being over the top grumpy, please forgive me. In advance, I would like to blame it on the dentist.
Don't fear the dentist :) I hope you are not having something major done. I'm a freak of nature, and love, love the dentist. I've had to have things done, so it isn't as if I have a perfect set of teeth, I just love going there I suppose. NOW, if you told me I had to go to the doctors, you would see me flipping out big time, then my blood pressure would be up. It is the classic white coat syndrome!!!
I'll send you an e-mail about how my week has been going ;)
And you get an A+ for teaching math at all in my book!

Eek! Dentists, doctors, jury duty--all are capable of producing major anxiety. Hope things go well tomorrow.
Your sketch is great although it makes me cringe. :)

Did you draw this from memory?! I'm picturing the dentist putting you in restraints as you are craning your head around, mouth full of equipment, fighting him off, while trying to get a better view as you sketch. I'm in the dental phobic club as well, charter member. I'm so impressed with your creativity, you always come up with something interesting, with me you always know your going to get a bird, or a bug, or flower. Humdrum.
