Rock-n-Tot

May 12, 2008 – 3:02 pm

My anxiety level always reaches new heights when we are planning on taking the kids somewhere new and different. Kade can be rather unpredictable, and he doesn’t readily accept change, so we tend to stick with what he’s comfortable with, which isn’t much. That said, we’ve wanted to check out Cleveland’s Rock-n-Tot event because it [...]

One lump or two?

May 11, 2008 – 10:34 pm

I know that I need to post about our Rock-n-Tot adventure and Mother’s Day events, but Starbucks almost killed me tonight. We were tired and dragging our heels to get on the road back to Cleveland, so we decided to grab a coffee on our way. I had tested right before leaving and was 151…not [...]

Preschool lowdown

May 9, 2008 – 1:31 pm

My sugar went low while I was parent helping at Kade’s preschool today. We were outside on the playground and I started to feel the tell-tale signs, but I couldn’t leave the teacher alone with 12 unleashed children able to run free in any direction, so I prayed silently that I would make it inside. [...]

No ice-cold beer here

May 8, 2008 – 3:25 pm

So I didn’t get to rock-out with the Black Keys last night, but I did get to hang out with some friends over burgers and beer. It was a low key evening, we were all rather tired, and as much as we love each other, we were home by 9:30. It sucks getting old. I [...]

On the horizon

May 6, 2008 – 10:23 am

Just received a phone call from my Medtronic rep, who said that she submitted the paperwork for my continuous glucose monitor. She said we should find out in about two weeks if my insurance will accept it or not. Apparently, my insurance company is the first one to enact a blanket policy for CGMS coverage, [...]

Backyardigans

May 5, 2008 – 9:53 pm

Things are finally getting better and this sick is getting the hell out of our house. The kids now have a kick-ass playground thanks to my parents and grandparents (and the hard work of my dad, Kyle and myself). It took over 9 hours to build, but was more than worth it. Kade is in [...]

A change in plans

May 3, 2008 – 9:31 am

Thanks to everyone for your comments on my recent post. With all the sick going around here, I haven’t been able to look into any of your suggestions, but that’s on my list this week so I’ll keep you posted. An upside is that the office finally faxed my script on Thursday afternoon, but it [...]

Miserable

May 1, 2008 – 10:56 am

Liv spent the first three days of this week throwing up and filling her diapers with an ungodly amount of poo. I have done nothing but disinfect all that she touches and wash the piles of clothing, blankets, etc. that have been affected. She is finally better, albeit still playing the sick card when she [...]

Shopping for a new endo

May 1, 2008 – 9:59 am

Last Tuesday I went online to order infusion sets and reservoirs for my insulin pump. On Friday, I still hadn’t received anything so I went back online to check it out…order status: in process. I decided to give Medtronic a call because usually they ship out by the next day, so I wanted to find [...]
