The painful start to my week

On Sunday, our 4-H club had a craft project meeting. There were four projects to chose from and you could do any number of them. The projects were: tie-die, recycled bags, puppets, and soap. And since we had duck tape for one of the other projects, we also made duck tape wallets. So, all the projects went really well, and we were cleaning up and taking stuff out to the van. We had three irons for one of the projects and I was picking them up to take them to the van. The cords were all wrapped up, so I figured that all of the irons were cool. I grabbed one in my right hand, and then set one on my right fore arm. OUCH!!!! That iron was VERY HOT!! Just turned off, kind of hot. Let's just say I picked it up very quickly!! But I have quite the burn on my arm. It does not really hurt anymore, just stings a little when I put aloe vera on it. But I am defiantly going to have a scar!! Sorry if I gross anyone out, but I wanted to share.

Then on Monday, I went to the orthodontist. Yippee!! I got two new wires and skipped a step on both of them!! I also got chain rubber bands on the sides of the top to pull my teeth together to fill in the hole where I had teeth pulled. On the bottom I have offsets to pull the two pointy teeth (bicuspids) forward. So my mouth is quite sore!! I have been eating alot of yogurt and soft food. My teeth are feeling a little better today, but there are not going to feel normal until next week. Oh well, at least my smile is straight now!!

p.s. - My burn turned green because I have had it covered in aloe vera. :)
