Well it's official, I have braces. "That was different, yep, lousy but different" (muppets)
But I have a funny story already! I decided not to go back to work after this ordeal so home I went. (this is the funny part) I'm at home and I'm feeding the chickens, let's just say they are curious little birds. One in particular looks at me and tries to peck at my braces!! Let's just say she saw the smart end of the boot...stupid chickens.
I just had to share my interesting day. Hope you get a laugh just like my husband did.
What a day!
Cute story--I did not go back to work either the same day to get used to the braces--talking and such. My coworkers have been very supportive and that has made a huge difference in how I feel about myself.
