Award!

Thanks Charlie Daniels!

**********************************


This morning my mom woke up with a toothache. She called her dentist to get an appointment. She was so lucky. Tomorrow morning he is going to Europe for his vacation. He was very nice telling my mom to go to his clinic and get it fixed. Her molar was broken. Now, her mouth is sleeping, she is drooling and her wallet is empty!

*******************************************

We live in Torreon and my mom works in Gomez Palacio. The two cities are divided by a river that has been dry for 40 years. The water is contained in a ditch. The ditch was "more than full" due to all the rain we have had these days. So, the government decided to open the canal locks.

This is the road my mom uses to go to her office.

Now, she has to use that bridge you can see in this picture. Everyone has to use it too. Now, it takes 1 hour to my mom to go from our house to her office and viceversa. Today was a nightmare. The dentist's clinic is in Torreon so she had to cross the bridge 4 times! Twice going, twice coming!

Saying Hello to Verne!

Have a good night

Rambo said...

Hi Verne and Hi Lorenza,
that's too bad about the washed out road. Seems like your Mom has a California commute now. Traffic here is TERRIBLE, but not because of an overflow. There's just too many cars!
Hope her tooth gets better soon.

Cheers

The Animal Doctor said...

Oh dear, we hope your Mom feels better soon, Lorenza.Our Secretary has a hard time going to her office too. The traffic situation here in the Philippines is just horrible! The first thing that goes into our Secretary's mind upon arriving in her office is how she will go home in the afternoon.

Pee-Es: Your blue dress is so pretty!

Buenas dias!

Sorry to hear about your mom's tooth - but I'm glad she was able to get it fixed!
That's a lot of water! Will they drain the canal again? That's too much time for your mom to be away from you!
Luv,
Dave
PS: Very cute friend!

Hope your mom's tooth is ok now. Good thing she managed to catch her dentist before he goes off.

Wow! Your poor Mom... I think my Hooman M would be boiling mad if she had to use that bridge everyday to go to work. I hope your Mom's tooth can be fixed soon. Mommy says toothache hurts like hell! Is it true? I never had one before so I don't know.

Ouchy. My mummy hates the dentist. I wouldn't know myself but a broken molar sure does sound bad.

Give her plenty of licks better.

Toffee said...

I hope that your mom feels better today!!! I am sure all that traveling must have made her tooth feel awful!

BenTheRotti said...

Oh Poor Momma!! Hope her tooth is feeling better now, I'm sending special rotti-slobbers and healing sugar sprinkled kisses to her.
It must be a nightmare all that travelling, and Mum says her wallet is always empty after a dentist visit too! In fact she says she followed the wrong career path and should have become a dentist and then we would be rich!!

Have a great weekend sweet one,

Ben xxxx

Snowy and Crystal said...

Pedro said...

Lorenza,

Are the canal locks just going to be opened for a little while then closed so your mom can use that road again? That is sooo inconvenient to have to drive for so long to go to work! I hope your mom's tooth feels better.

umekotyan said...

Good evening lorenza.
Congratulations on Award.
Awaking by the decayed tooth is painful.
Visit the dentist early, and give to me.
Do ..injury.. Ta of the day and it recovers .... naturally.
I always think that teeth only have to recover.
The water of rain occupies the canal.
It is terrible amount of rain.
It clears up surely on the weekend.
Please spend a wonderful weekend. :D
