Last night I went (with Jed) to a Sacred Women's Circle. I have been looking forward to going since being invited about a month ago. I have to say I wasn't disappointed, I had a wonderful evening of sharing and meditation with a group of fantastic women. All of them incredibly strong and very centred, it was a real honour to be there with them and to feel a real feminine aura. I think I need a little of the feminine as I am in such a male environment most days. Jed was an angel and went to sleep... it was the first time I had been out at night on my own (as such) since before Tiger was born. It felt quite strange to be driving home in the dark lol......
On a more mundane note I found out yesterday that I need root canal therapy and a crown fairly urgently. I will be researching the effects of Novocaine on breast milk before I sign up, but I need a course of treatment that involves at least 5 visits over the next 10 weeks. This is such a hassle to organise as we all have to go, I can't leave Jed behind whilst I disappear for hours. So DP has to leave work and take the trip with me. On the other hand in a strange way I am actually looking forward to getting my tooth fixed as it was becoming a real pain in the A. The temporary fillings always fell out after a week or so, and I'm over putting up with the hot/cold sensitivity....
Today we went for a play date at a friend's new house, it was a lovely morning and Tiger played well, with only a couple of minor altercations over toys and turns etc... on the way there we drove past a large concrete rhinoceros which is on display outside a business, the conversation went like this....
Tiger - "What's that?"
Me - " It's a pretend rhinoceros."
Tiger - "Ahhh, I saw one of those yesterday!"
Me - "Did you? Where did you see it?"
Tiger - "At The Farm, it was in the avocados, it was eating the leaves, it was okay, 'cos I looked at it but it didn't bite me!"
Me - "Oh good, I'm glad it didn't bite you"
Tiger - "Yes, I don't want a cincerus to bite me, but it would be okay, cos....it get better!"
Me - " Are you sure it was a rhinoceros you saw?"
Tiger - " Mmmmm....... (insert long pause whilst he decides) Yes! I'm going to tell Daddy I saw a real cincerus, I know it was cos it looked at me!"
It is quite possible that what he saw in the avocado orchard yesterday, whilst at The Farm was a cow and not a rhinoceros, but hey, who am I to argue with the three year old??
That little moment set the morning up quite nicely, I love it when their imaginations start to kick in.
We have a quiet weekend coming up and DP has been given a reprieve from working at Indy. Yay!!! I'm looking forward to spending some time together.

Jen - how gorgeous. I hope you record that conversation on a note for him when he's older. I can't help you with the novocaine question, but there are bound to be that, plus one or two alternative pain relief choices. Give the surgery a call to find out so you can do your research. I can tell you I busted my front teeth while breastfeeding #1 and had multiple root canals over the course of a week. I can thoroughly recommend Sensodyne toothpaste as well for those sensitive bits too. It really works but it's pretty expensive....not nearly as pricey as the root canals though!!!
Jen - what a lovely chat you had about the rhino. Make sure you record that one for posterity. Re: dentistry and breastfeeding. I had multiple root canals while feeding #1 and it was fine, but I'd add these were emergency ones after I smashed my face on some concrete. I'd also highly recommend Sensodyne toothpaste. It's pricey but it really works.
