Being overweight- when I first met Jessica I was very heavy. She commented that she didn't want to hire a fat nanny. I lost 40 pounds, but I still can't make myself tall and blonde - well blonde yes! Elliott also has lost weight. 








 We do not have the money to hire an attorney, so we are hoping the parents will come to their senses. It makes no sense. They didn't like the treats they had. Is that a reason to never let the little ones never see the grandparents who have been in their lives from day 1?

So some research and of course pictures. I have culled these from many sources. 

We are the first to agree that when we first moved to California we....gave a 1 day old food we couldn't? Ok fast forward to a 2 year old and 4 year old. Yes we did give them treats especially when they told us that they have hot chocolate at the other parents' house. Yes, on non-school nights we let them stay up longer. In time, however after 6 weeks of therapy, we realized how important on the dot bedtimes are and we were consistent. I remember as a baby I would walk around the house holding Eliana and saying goodnight to the fish, and the couch, etc. Later a book did it.

So we did try. We had the girls as one of them said "a billion times."

At some point we were very much trusted with the children and with me. She told me she told Arik there would be a divorce if he gave his mother money. She has him wrapped around her fingers and I am not sure he ever cares or gets it.

Ok so on to PTSD. I am on medication for anxiety and have been for 30 years. I was an only child so there was no bedtime for me. I had to learn. Our own children didn't have bedtimes. No one ever stopped speaking to me although for various reasons I had to stop speaking to my cousin and aunt.

What to do about your dry eyes

Jo has Sjogren's Syndrome . Dry eyes and dry mouth can be caused by a multitude of reasons such as an autoimmune disease such as Sjogren's Syndrome, aging , diabetes , smoking or medications. Biotene has been the hallmark drug for dry mouth but other products, such as Oasis have come on the market. Xerostomia or dry mouth can cause difficulty in speaking and eating. It also leads to bad breath and dental decay. It is crucial that you see your dentist much more regularly than you may have been going if you have dry mouth. In addition, your home care must be superb. It's hard sometimes to get into the rhythm of flossing, brushing, using a rubber tip, and using a Waterpik but in the end your mouth will thank you. Some people find oral sprays as you see in the Biotene Moisturizing Mouth Spray picture and Biotene gel, which you rub on your tongue and gums. A good recipe book is called I-Can't-Chew Cookbook by J. Randy Wilson. Other symptoms you may have is a...

10-day Canadian Rockies trip by Car

 We are very settled in Monroe and are considering selling Lincoln and visiting a few times a year. We talk to the little ones almost every Sunday. They are growing up. 2nd grade, 1st grade a nd  preschool.  I'm doing fine on the exemestane.  Scans have  been clear. We have found a few docs but still have a couple more to find. We are heading back to CA in a month for four months.  Our flight to Canada was easy. We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things.  I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am." We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight.  We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to t...

The Worst of Times

2022 has certainly been challenging. Health issues just kept piling up. Our world turned right side up or upside down depending on your perspective.  After family therapy we are good with the Loomis Levy's and have had the kids a lot. It's been fun but exhausting.  We made a necessary choice to be closer to our adult daughters. After searching and changing our minds, we bought a great house in an over 55 community in Monroe Township, NJ.  Funny but we are 45 minutes away from cousin Marissa and family; too far (2 hours) from Terri and Jeff and 1 1/2 hours to Manhattan. I may have mentioned this but our daughter MD gave 3 months notice, sold her house and got a job and apartment at a hospital near Lennox Hill.  Our furbabies turned 11 and without the beach house (We sold it and will sell the RV.) they don't run as much as they used to but they are spry and healthy.  I'll take pics when I am in the house and hopefully find my camera in one of the 6 suitcases we pa...
