Last night, I posted something over at tudiabetes.com (an amazing online community for people touched by diabetes) to another parent whose pre-teen child with Type I Diabetes is also struggling. This is my view on how to help J. learn to manage her disease, how to let go and let her take over, how to [...]

Today, I was able to finish a huge project that must be postmarked by tomorrow - 30 days after the end of the 3rd quarter. Nothing like waiting until the last possible moment, huh? I guess I like living on the edge. I don’t like the stress or lack of sleep, though.
Evidently, I don’t have [...]

I’m concerned. Very concerned about my child.
Diabulemia. A word that scares me.
Reading about eating disorders.
Girls and women with distorted body image.
Poor diabetes control.
Eating that’s almost binge-like. Says it’s because of boredom.
Not bolusing for food. Not just every once in a while. Consistently.
Appointment with endocrinologist and counselor Friday morning. Hoping for advise, suggestions, ways to help [...]

The garage sale wasn’t stellar, but we did ok. After it was over, we filled the back of Mom and Dad’s Ford Ranger with one load of trash that was taken to the recycling center and one load of things that were donated to GoodWill. We now only need to move the tables back to [...]

Oh. My. Goodness. I think I really must be crazy. My sister and I are having a garage sale. Not Julie. Chrissie. Since she’s the sister who lives 4 miles away and not 20 bazillion miles away in the huge state we don’t want to waltz across that’s directly to the south of Oklahoma. [...]

When the kids and I were driving to Branson, we listened to a lot of different music, including the latest Jonas Brothers CD. One of the songs is called SHELF.
One of the lines of the chorus (at 1 min 15 seconds ) of this song sounds like,
the next guy who will make your tool time [...]

When we were in Branson, the kids and I browsed around in a lot of antique stores and flea markets. The kids have acquired a love for the search, as I have.
One afternoon, we were walking through a flea market that had a little radio tuned to a local radio station and hidden on a [...]

So I went back to work Monday morning to find a huge pile of papers in my inbox, a bazillion emails to answer and a long list of voicemails. It really pays to go on vacation. *sigh*
No, really, it was completely worth it and I’m so glad we went. I need to find a way, [...]

The kids and I spent the past week in Branson, MO since the kids had fall break last week. We swam (the resort had an indoor pool - and the kids “swam” in the jacuzzi that was in the bedroom I slept in), puttered around in antique shops, went sightseeing, to a show, a museum [...]
