Today when it was almost time for me to leave work, 12 yr daughter J. called and asked if she could cook dinner. I have several things in the freezer that she could bake in the oven for dinner, so I said yes. She said all she needed me to do was stop [...]
Youngest daughter’s appointment with the endocrinologist today was much better than the appointment last month. We’ve adjusted her basal rate of insulin and lowered her carbohydrate to insulin ratio and correction factor. Those changes should tighten up her control quite a bit. We’ll continue to monitor carefully and make sure the changes are working for [...]
My kids saw their dad today. Well, two of them did. Oldest daughter decided she didn’t want to see him, so she stayed in her room. It was their first visit with him since mid-December 2007. They saw him less than 4 hours. 6:30pm to 10:00pm.
I’m disgusted, but will refrain from saying more right now.
Do you use an internet filter to block out sites with inappropriate language and images? I’m currently searching for a good internet filter and have downloaded one called K9 Web Protection by Blue Coat Systems. I did a search for several “bad” words (as a test - to make sure it was [...]
The other night, youngest daughter came into my bedroom saying how her foot hurt. Without thinking, I said, “Put some Windex on it.” Just like the dad in “My Big Fat Greek Wedding.”
So she did.
I’m not sure why she was using the bottom of a plastic bowl as a foot rest.

On this day twelve years ago, my youngest child was born. She weighed in at 6 lbs 6 oz and was 19 inches long. It’s hard to believe that in these past 144 months, she’s grown 46 inches. She’s now 5 ft 5 inches and cannot wear my shoes anymore because they’re [...]
I cannot think of anything to post about at the moment that does not sound like I’m hosting a pity party for myself.
I’ll just say for now that living with two teens and a tween who all have strong personalities, wacky hormones and immature brains is like being on a roller coaster with all the [...]
My youngest child will be twelve years old next week and is growing up faster than I’m ready for. I knew this day was coming from the moodiness and wacky blood sugar readings she’s had lately. I have talked with her about what to expect, what to do, and have given detailed explanations [...]
Youngest daughter and her friends have recently discovered the joy of text messaging and celebrate this joy by keeping the phone at their side at all times with a really annoying and loud ring tone for incoming messages. I’m really glad our family plan has unlimited texting.
Yesterday afternoon, J (youngest daughter) came running through the [...]
Yesterday, 14 yr old daughter and I went to see Gypsy. It was fantastic. I have really loved having season tickets again this year.
14’s review: I loved it all. The songs, music and actors were wonderful. But I could have done without that stripping song. Really.
