Happy Birthday, Mikayla

-

 Happy 9th birthday, to our sweet Mikayla! Wasn't it yesterday that we went into the hospital and brought Jessica a container of treats from the yogurt place you loved? It was a magical ride. 


Will that "I love you as high as the sky" and "p i z z a my papa made us pizza" be forgotten? Pictures of  Lucky, the horse, princesses, doll houses, and we can go on and on are all on our computers for you to see as is the journal nana is keeping.


 How we wish we could call or see you and sing happy birthday like we did for so many years. Your parents won. Can they live with the pain we know you are feeling inspite of being brainwashed into believing we were mean. 


Wherever you are today have a magical day. You are a magical kid. To the moon and back! Love always and forever, nana and papa.








Huh?? How was this redacted?

Terri you can join me in a crying party. @arik, you would be stuck at papa finish if not for us. You're welcome for helping you become the wealthy man you wanted to be when you grew out of wanting to be an ice cream man! How tf can you look at yourself in the mirror knowing the man who was a single parent will die of or with a broken heart. @jessica, do you member when I gladly drove to Sacramento with Zoey and cloey and slept over because you had to leave very early the next morning and Dunnea Martinez wasn't coming until 9? Do you remember sharing with me the d word if arik gave his "mother" a million dollars? Do you remember the fun we had at Halloween, your favorite holiday? I hope the Christmas and birthday presents for the kids went to children who donot have a mark Jacob backpack rather than the trash!! 

I always asked you if we could get them such and such a present. You always thanked me for asking. Do you remember telling me you trusted me driving the kids rather than Karen, the swimming pool and bathtub stories, and of course your stopping the theft of your backpack! I am sure you have no trouble looking in the mirror although deep down you know this lie will come back to haunt you. I pray the damage to the children isn't so severe that they soon will need to see a therapist. When I had radiation and surgery you couldn't bother to call or text me. I know saying you are  sorry isn't in your wheel house, but jessica, really you can live with yourself... Why? Because Mikayla got hot chocolate and the kids didn't have the bedtime that you invented during non- school days.? And mean?? What does that even mean to you! Miss Leah attacked me at school because Dylan bit someone so instead of the consequence of not going to target, we took all three.

 Calling me in target to yell at me that your 3 to 6:00 nanny needed the 3 hour pay check was anything in the realm of normal? We hadn't seen the kids in eight months so you insisting that we only spend from 6-8 pm would suffice, really, jessica. Reading this cannot possibly be reasons to take away the children.

There is so much I could say but if any friend or relative with whom you are not estranged reads this, perhaps helping you see this is downright silly, MEAN and hurtful. And I thank karen and @randy  for bringing over dinner during my radiation and grandma Dee for being, inspite of our political differences, for caring about me. I enjoyed our lunches together. 


We would have paid was it Cameron, I get your nannies mixed  up, for the nine hours  paid time off
she could have had while grandparents were visiting. Nine hours, really jessica. That is MEAN. Karma will bite you, of that I can be sure. The door will always be open for the children when they want the truth.

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...

Candy Canes Reindeer

These are so cute and even if you don't celebrate Christmas like we don't, these would be fun to give out to other campers!! Two candy canes back to back tied with yarn or material-covered wire, which I can get at Joanne's or Michael's. I'm taking my glue gun with me and voila - what a nice way to say "Hi, happy holidays. "

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...
