Have you voted yet?
Get out and vote for the next President!
If you don’t vote, you won’t really have the right to fuss about who is in the White House for the next four years, will you?
UPDATE: I voted after work today because the lines this morning wrapped around the building and I didn’t feel like [...]

A wise woman told my 12 year old daughter a few days ago that
The only cure for ignorance is knowledge.
Since it didn’t come from me, it really sunk in for her. J. told me (on her own, I did not ask) that they were talking about diabetes management, kids/friends asking questions and about letting her [...]

I saw this at Allison’s blog and at Landileigh’s blog a couple of days ago and wanted to give it a go. If you play along, leave a comment so I can come see your one word answers!
Rules: Answer the questions with the first word that comes to mind. Use only one word answers.
1. [...]

Yesterday, we went to J.’s follow-up visit after her really high A1C a month ago. How ironic to see the diabetes doctor on Halloween, right? At the last visit, her A1C was over 14. Higher than the machine could read.
This time it was 11.4. Since that’s an average of the past 3 months, I’m thinking [...]

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 [...]
