Wheres Toto Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 We were going to go to the zoo for a Not Back to School day today but no other teenagers were going, and my kids have spent the past two days at the lake, and none of us wanted to get up early (zoo at 10am and it's 45 minutes away) so we bailed out. I have the first meeting of my Teen Club tonight. We'll see how that goes. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it the 10 min. of this, 10 min. of that? Because that would have failed for my kid before it ever got started. It takes my kid 10 min to just register what I said sometimes. 😂 I think we’re just not really good with microscheduling here.

Dd16 needed braces more than anyone else. She got hers first. As soon as we finished paying them off, dd18 got her braces. She got them off this spring just in time to go to college. Dd14 got her braces put on the same day that dd18 got hers taken off. We have cute before and after pictures. :) I think that dd12 is going to need braces, but I don't actually remember. Dd10 will definitely need braces. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted September 9, 2020 Share Posted September 9, 2020 My headaches have been better (only a couple of days per week is better than every day), but I've had a lot of headaches in the past two weeks. More than usual. I've tried several medications in the past and failed them all because of side effects. My doctor won't give me the preventative meds that many people take because of my kidney stones. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, how is your blood pressure? My headaches went away completely once I got on the lowest dose of ...something for hpb even though mine was barely elevated. I've never heard of this concoction. It's kind of an interesting mix... AFAIK, my blood pressure is ok. I'm pretty sure the migraines are hormone related. Some of them are stress related, but I don't know if my blood pressure is elevated during this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
