Grandma and Granddaughter #minime

A few days ago the grand kids came over and we decided to take them both for ice cream.  Sophie wanted to walk to Friendly’s (they have the best ice cream).  I love to walk, so this was a good thing, walking was it.

As we began our little walk I realized that she was wearing sunglasses, and it was 7 p.m..  Oh, I thought she is wearing sunglasses just like me, right down to total sunset.

I came to a stop and asked Christian to take a picture of me and Sophie wearing sunglasses.   I was surprised that she was willing to take this picture with me (remember she never wants a picture with me).

Christian takes the shot!

Perfect!

Shades and all

Did You Know

#MouthGuard #Bruxism

I recently went to my dentist and just happen to mention how the bottom of my jaw bothers me.  I told the dentist how I would wake up at night and find myself  biting down on my tongue.  That is why I would wake up.  Oh, the pain!  Then my dentist  told me that my teeth show  signs of “Teeth Grinding”.  I had signs of BRUXISM, a type of sleep disorder.  Oh, boy!

After the diagnosis my dentist  recommended a mouth guard.  The guard would help prevent me from teeth grinding and tongue biting.  A mouth guard! This was something I was not  keen on getting, especially after I found out that my dental plan did not cover the full cost of the guard.   But like a good dental patient I went ahead with the purchase.

The mold of my bottom jaw scared me when I saw it.

 I thought, Ugh, this looks like a monster’s mouth.  My next thought was, why didn’t  my parents give me braces, maybe my teeth would look a little less monster-ish.  Then I smiled and thought, wait till the grand kids see this they are going to love grandma’s monster mouth. 31525_20130124_123604_good_morning_quotes_07The ugly mold helped to shape my plastic mouth guard.  After getting the mouth guard and forking over $200.00 for a piece of plastic I began to second guess my dentist.

I just thought this is not going to work.  I am going to hate it in my mouth.  It is going to bother me, like really bother me.  How am I going to even sleep.  It is going to keep me up.  What a waste of money.  All these thoughts while I was leaving the dental office.  But it was to late, the mouth guard was in my bag.

Well, it’s been 6 days since I purchased the mouth guard.  Guess what?  Getting this mouth guard was the best thing I could have done for myself.  On the very  first night the guard in my mouth did the trick.  I couldn’t believe it, it was one of the best night’s sleep I had in a very long time.  I did not do my usual tossing and turning and no tongue biting.   Second night’s sleep was the same.  It was amazing!  The mouth guard was a winner.  Of course, I was a little disturbed when I found out i could have bought a mouth guard from Amazon for less money.  But then I realized the mouth guard would not have been MY MOUTH guard.  I am happy that my mouth guard is part of my night time ritual.

So glad I listened to my dentist.  Now I need to take my physician’s advise. See she wants me to get tested for sleep apnea…that’s another story.
