5 for Friday 6.19.15

Hi, friends!  It's time for another Five for Friday!  Thanks to Doodle Bugs Teaching for hosting again! 

Mr. Wheeler and I celebrated 9 years of marriage on Wednesday and his parents got us bikes!  We've been riding fools ever since!  Who knew bike riding could be so fun?!!?!

I updated ALL of my Writing Workshop covers!  They were due, as these are the first products I ever created in my TpT shop years ago.  I like how they turned out.  To view the Writing products I have, click the cover.

Speaking of TpT, I've been working on finishing my Growing Guided Reading Bundle.  I just finished up Level E.  I have 3 units to go!  If you are interested in checking this phenomenal resource out, click the cover!  *Units can be purchased individually if you don't want to get the bundle.*

So this one counts for 4 AND 5 because it's SUCH A BIG DEAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Long story short: I was supposted to get my braces off 5 weeks ago, but when I got there, the dr. said they "weren't quite ready" and he wanted me to wear a different rubber band combo.  So I was sad but I understood and left, with my new appointment being 3 weeks later.  It was for the day after the Nashville Blogger Meet-up.  I set my alarm for 7:00 am {appointment at 8:00}, got up and showered, and hit the road for the removal.  About halfway into my drive, the phone rang.  Here's how the convo. went down:

RECEPTIONIST: "Megan, this is dr. ___ office.  You missed your appointment."

ME: "What?  I am on my way right now.  It's 7:45."

RECEPTIONIST: "No, it's actually 8:45.  Your appointment was at 8:00."

ME: {Super confused at this point} "OMG.  My phone never switched back to Ohio time after our trip to Nashville.  What the heck?!"

RECEPTIONIST:  "I am so sorry.  We will have to re-schedule.  Unfortunately we can't get you in until July."

ME: {sobbing}  "How is this possible?!  Not until July?"

RECEPTIONIST: "Yes, no one ever cancels removals.  I am so sorry.  I will call you if anything would come up but it's highly unlikely."

ME: {still sobbing}.  "OK, thank you.  Goodbye."

So I drive home, hysterical, wake Mr. Wheeler up, and tell him what happened.  Seriously, Iphone? What's the deal?  Crushed.   Sidebar:  This is the 4th time I've had braces.  I am destined to have crooked teeth.  I am over all of the braces, retainers, rubber bands, etc, etc, etc!

A week later and I was ok with waiting until July.  It was out of my control.

Then yesterday, at 11:00 a.m.-------the phone rang.  It was the dr. office.  I KNEW IT HAD TO BE GOOD!  They had a removal cancel at 1:00 and would I take it??  DUH!  I couldn't even focus all day yesterday b/c I was so excited!  So I went, and 2 hours later, this was the end result:

Thrilled!  Have a great weekend!
