DYK it's closing of stores on Sundays.
DYK in this town, grocery and alcohol places are open.
DYK but retail stores are closed. There might be a few types that are allowed to be open, but it's very limited.
DYK in this particular town, it's a huge shopping area. Every few years it comes up for a re-vote, but the residents keep saying no. I think they like having a day without traffic.

dyk Joy we have used melatonin in all different forms.

dyk right now we are using the 5mg tabs that are strawberry (kids LOVE them) and the fast melting tabs

dyk we give each kid one about 45 minutes before bed and it just helps stimulate their own melatonin production

dyk non-addicting, non habit forming and 5mg is a good starting dose - it's very low.

dyk a bottle of 60 tabs is like $8 at Walmart

dyk Abigail takes a second tab right at bedtime to help in case she wakes up

dyk OH and the key to keeping a clean house -- (for destiny)

dyk is to make the kids work like little child slaves during the week to pick up every crumb, every toy, every speck of anything they leave behind

dyk and the key is to do this BEFORE you allow them to have any treats or snacks and so they are highly motivated

dyk and if you eat the fun snacks while thney are working -- with the knowledge instilled in them that you WILL eat it all -- they work every faster and more efficient
