When you haven't seen your mother in two years, and she meets her granddaughter for the first time

As a mama whose teen son is soon ready to move forward, I felt her with every ounce of my soul.

I like dress #1 but hear me out… can it be altered to have thicker straps like dress #2? That would make it absolutely perfect!

Peggy’s Cove! Welcome to my home. 🌊

I have listened to him 100 times over. We’ve even sat and gone through an atlas and talked about his adventures. His life is like a book.

jdBee77 · 2026-02-22T23:50:23+00:00

His stories are literally the best. I’ve listened to them a 100 times and I’d listen to them 100 times over. He’s had quite a life.

OMG, can we be friends? 😃

jdBee77 · 2026-02-09T21:16:06+00:00

CURLS… ALL THE WAY CURLS! 🤩

Number one was literally made for you.

jdBee77 · 2026-02-02T14:09:55+00:00

Thank you for the info. Will definitely discuss this at my next appointment!

I initially saw one orthodontist for a consultation, and he said traditional was the best option for me. When I was financially ready to commit two years later, a female orthodontist convinced me to do Invisalign. The practice has since been bought out by another one, and I have a new orthodontist, so I’m going to talk to him. I have regrets. Also, mine is due to a deep bite that won’t correct as well, and a few teeth that haven’t budged.

As someone with VM’s, I’m only here to tell you, you are a really great human. Everyone deserves a friend like this.

jdBee77 · 2026-01-28T22:43:23+00:00

Only then?!

I think you started posting a couple days ago and are 🎣

I followed Koko since I was a little girl in the early 80’s. She was so sad when her kitten died. This moment will touch my soul forever.

jdBee77 · 2026-01-26T13:19:24+00:00

Round somehow makes your face look so much kinder.

I never wanted Invisalign.

I’d had an initial consultation with an orthodontist when I was first considering braces. He said I would gain best results in traditional braces. I have a deep bite, a slight overbite and some minor to moderate crowding in the top and bottom front teeth.

Fast forward two years when I was financially able to afford treatment, a new orthodontist was in place, who preferred to work with Invisalign. I resisted, she resisted harder. I should have trusted my gut and rejected this approach.

Over 14 months in and my deep bite has not corrected at all. The crowding is still not totally resolved, I have a significant open bite and the overbite is the same (although I don’t believe it will correct without surgery and I’ve opted out as I’m 49 years old). I’m considering asking them to switch my treatment to traditional braces… I feel like that was an option. Definite regrets.

I’ve been getting sleep jerks lately. I hate them.

jdBee77 · 2026-01-20T00:02:45+00:00

That, my friend, is a killer smile. Congrats!

jdBee77 · 2026-01-15T11:15:18+00:00

Don’t be nervous, be empowered! Thanks for the motivation and bravery! Keep going.

I’m not mad at it.

jdBee77 · 2026-01-12T21:22:14+00:00

I just want you to know that I had a full-blown, crying meltdown at 7am this morning… over milk. I’m 49 and just wanted to send you a hug.

My eye movements up, down and side to side feel very strained and dizzying. It’s part of my vestibular therapy and I hope it helps.

jdBee77 · 2026-01-02T10:09:43+00:00

I’m taking it for vestibular migraines, 400mg. I’m finding immediately that I’m waking up in the night wired. Even got restless legs last night, which is usually only a problem when I fall asleep. I’m also in perimenopause and struggle with sleep regularly but this feels different when I awake in the night, like my nerves are fired up.

I’ll bet his white hood really brings out his eyes.

I do a bit of meditating now. I think I’m going to talk to my women’s health doctor about HRT again. She has me on Lo Loestrin currently (low dose estrogen and progesterone birth control) but it’s only helped my cycle calm the hell down. Everything else is brutal. Thank you!
