LET'S GET OUT A PAD AND PEN !!!!!

After reading Meri's post about her son's autoimmune skin and such disorders (all caused by EVIL D) and Sweet Joe's Christmas Wish ... I got MAD .... I don't mean angry or upset ... anyone who knows me, knows I don't ever use bad language, but I started last night! Circling my condo thinking and cursing OUT-LOUD !! Only the pets heard, thank goodness! but EVEN they were scared of me!☺

THIS IS A CALL TO ARMS D-BLOGGER(s) : here's what I'm going to do: type out a "sample letter" to send / give to all my friends and neighbors to HAND-WRITE out a personal letter to their district Congress Person (Mary Bono-Mack for me).

I am not trying to point any fingers here .... but some Endocrinologists are jaded about diabetes and ALL the little (I say jokingly) disorders that go with it! SOMETHING IS REALLY WRONG HERE .. in my case, my D-Grandchild's Endo says he doesn't Rx RESCUE KITS !!!! F-Him! (Thank you, Reyna!)It's not our baby's fault that his brain is T2 wired (less than 2% of his patients are KIDS w/T1). Small town mentally, I guess! My Mom's Endo pooh-pooh's her yearly 'bouts of hyponatremia! Every D-Care Person knows what I mean, knows the frustration of doctor(s) not ordering EVERY test available for [whatever] symptom is presented. WE NEED THE HEALTH CARE SYSTEM TO BACK US UP, REGARDLESS OF THE ADDED COST TO INSURANCE COMPANIES OR STATE-AID AGENCIES OR PAPER WORK COSTS!! That's right, some doctors actually advise the patient or parent that the added cost [to his/her] office personnel to do all the paperwork required by most all insurance companies and HMO's, etc. is just too excessive!

We need to flood our Representatives' Office with {nice} DEMANDS for better research and a CURE. Believe me, the more letters they receive the higher their priority will be in Washington when approached by Lobbyists for Insurance and Drug Companies ... believe me, WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE! I WILL POST A COPY OF MY SAMPLE LETTER WHEN ITS DONE ... MAYBE ANY OF YOU WHO SEE THIS BLOG WILL DO THE SAME.

Letters that are "hand-written" definitely receive greater weight than letters that appear to be "form" or "bulk" mailing !!! I know this from FIRST HAND experience!

It's the least we can do for National Diabetes Month!

The Concert ... No Evil-D Allowed!

Here are the "Bieber Twins" & Romeo

These two wonderful young ladies, sisters Jessica and Stephanie, looked out for the G-Child, Alexa and her cousin Hailey ... for most of the concert (while inside the venue). I can't thank them enough! They were also winners of concert tickets and meet and greet ..so it was perfect for me (and Romeo) and Cousin Hailey! If I hadn't had the older girls to "look-out" for my two ten-year-olds ...I would have had to accompany Alexa and Hailey would have missed this very SPECIAL NON-D fun!!

I'm not fooling myself, Alexa was tickled pink that Hailey was with her instead of me!! I'm just so happy for them both ...but if I ever hear the name JUSTIN BIEBER again ...I think I'll stroke out!

It was a TWELVE hour day for me and Romeo and its been along time since this old girl did a concert! In fact, my last concert was "California Jam", that fiasco cured me from ever being in crowds EVER AGAIN ...

Anyway, Alexa flew back to Arkansas today and I took a LONG NAP

Another wonderful thing that happened during our week of bonding was that I got to really explain alot about Evil-D to Alexa..and I mean alot of stuff she didn't know! I think she's going home with alot more love and concern for her baby sister AND IF THAT'S ALL that came out of this trip ...IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!! Alexa knows how special she is to us ...just for herself !!

10 ...going on 25!!

and let me tell you, that baby's got booty! J-Lo has nothing on Alexa!

She'd DIE if she new I posted a pic of her bum! Her bum has DOUBLED since this pic was taken in September .. and she is not fat ... just bootyfied!
