The Struggles of The Tooth Fairy



Okay fellow moms, a.k.a.: Tooth Fairies, Santa Clauses, Easter Bunnies, and childhood magical character fibbers.....  I know I can't be alone.  Lately, I've really been sucking it up, at being The Tooth Fairy.

My two middles have been losing teeth like crazy, and I just can't seem to get it together.

I never have really had it together when it comes to this stuff, and I often find myself wondering why I lie to my kids about these magical beings that they'll be devastated to find out is all a BIG FAT LIE someday anyways.

I was one of those kids that knew better when I was pretty young, but clung to it, until I was like 12, and my Mom was like "Laurel, that stuff isn't real."  And even though deep down I knew it, I wanted to believe...so that's why I keep this charade going.  #letthembelittle  Right?

But I suck at it!

Especially the tooth fairy gig. 

The worst part, is that  my sweet little Li Li really took that movie "Rise of the Guardians" to heart.  She believes that the tooth fairy collects her teeth, to collect her memories, for good and magical reasons.   The Tooth Fairy is someone she admires and a big deal to her....and I'm failing my sweet, wonderful, magical little girl.

I suck! 

Two nights ago, is when the latest tooth was actually lost, and I, Tooth Fairy-- fell asleep on the couch. The next night, the tooth fairy didn't have any cash.
There's also a tooth that was lost weeks ago, that the Tooth Fairy left money for, but didn't collect, because she didn't have any fairy dust and she's clumsy... and isn't good at being quiet...and the kid is a light sleeper...and was starting to wiggle and squirm....so Tooth Fairy had to abort the mission of gathering the actual tooth.

Then there's all the teeth the tooth fairy couldn't find, because Li Li is smart, and she hides them good, just to see how good the tooth fairy really is.

I try to explain that Tooth Fairy is a busy lady, and although she's super magical and all, she's not flippin' psychic. She expects the tooth to be under the pillow. 

Seriously child, you're killin' me smalls.

Lately, Tooth Fairy has sucked so much, that Lezlie is starting to believe that she doesn't want the memories in her teeth anymore.

:(   I told her that can't possibly be so.  Tooth Fairy must just be super busy lately, and her mind must be frazzled.  Maybe the dog got after her. Maybe she was short on money. Maybe she was sick.  Who knows.  But she's definitely real.
 
No doubt, the tooth fairy is gonna get it together tonight and write a nice tiny letter explaining her reasons, and to say she's sorry, and collect both of the teeth, no matter where they might be hiding...

"Lezlie, I am so sorry. I've been fighting important battles.  Collecting your memories is part of it, make the best ones you can."  -Tooth Fairy

That Time My 9 Year Old Gave Me The Bird

An old Cherokee Indian, teaching his grandson about life...“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.  “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.”   He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.  The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”   The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.” A few months ago, I told my son (9) to go take out the trash. He didn't do it. In fact, almost every time I asked him to do it, he would "forget." When I found him outside, I said: "Hey, I told you to take out the trash." He got a bad attitude. Rolle...

Hey...Let's Catch Up

Hey guys.... I know I've been somewhat absent lately, and so, I want to take some time to catch up! Before I get into it all though, I want to say thank you to everyone who reads my blog... When I first started Crazies & Daisies, I did it as a hobby and for an outlet... I never saw it going anywhere and put off starting it for years because of the fear of  judgement... and failure...and more judgement  Once it took off though, I started letting you guys in more and more, and you kept on reading. Y'all are my inspiration, and my motivation to keep writing.  So Thank You! Now for the catching up... this is gonna be deep... I don't do shallow, I suck at sugar coating stuff, and most of all, I feel it is almost a calling of mine-- to be real with people. To let them in on my messy, unfiltered, unedited life. So here goes... Life has been full of highs and lows for the past several months. One big c...
