You know what they say when you assume…

January 27, 2009 – 5:29 pm

I guess I just assumed that Liv would be potty trained over night. She is my savant child. The girl always does everything early and exceptionally well. I expected this to be easy. I mean really, why would she scoff at the chance to wear underpants decorated with her beloved princesses? How could she possibly [...]

I did it.

January 26, 2009 – 3:22 pm

I’m finally blogging again and I am attempting to use Facebook. I have no idea how to use the site, but I had friend requests from some people I haven’t seen in years so I’m excited to see what they are up to.
I haven’t been blogging because I’ve lost my mojo. I haven’t run in [...]

That was then…

December 17, 2008 – 3:55 pm

Remember how I said yesterday that diabetes has become a part of everyday life and I try not to let it get to me? Well, that was yesterday. Today, it got to me.
I was parent helper at Kade’s preschool this morning and as the children were finishing snack, I noticed that I was feeling pleasantly [...]

Type 1 and O positive

December 16, 2008 – 5:09 pm

I haven’t posted anything diabetes related in awhile. It’s not because things have been in perfect control…far from it. Being diabetic has slowly become just a part of who I am. Waking up to a 300 blood sugar or dropping to 45 after lunch, used to send me reeling into a panic that always left [...]

Facebook

December 16, 2008 – 4:38 pm

My friends are pressuring me to join them in the world of social networking, but my blog and the preschool website are difficult enough to keep updated that I’m not sure I can take on another task. I have a profile, but I have never elaborated on it, or sought out friends, or accepted friends, [...]

Preparing for the weekend.

December 12, 2008 – 4:16 pm

I spent $30 at the Dollar Store today, which translates into 3 bags full of crap that I really don’t need, but because they were only a dollar I just couldn’t pass them up. I’m such a sucker. In all honesty, I did score some good deals on wrapping paper and gift tags, but the [...]

Dusting off the keyboard…

December 10, 2008 – 4:16 pm

I know…it’s been awhile. You’d think I would have used this time to get ready for the upcoming holidays. I did manage to get the house decorated and fill the basement with gifts for the kids, but I’ve fallen prey to a false sense of completion that is going to bite me in the ass [...]

Long overdue review…

December 10, 2008 – 4:12 pm

The Twilight movie was kind of disappointing (okay, it was very disappointing). I kept forgetting that this book was meant for teens, which meant the movie would be too. Don’t get me wrong, every time Edward graced the screen, my heart skipped a beat. Reading the books gave me the freedom to picture him as [...]

Vampire Obsessed

November 12, 2008 – 4:46 pm

I have a million and one emails to write but there’s something wrong with my account so they’ll have to wait yet another day. Instead, I have a confession to make…
I am a seventeen year old girl stuck in a stay at home mama’s body. I have read all four books in the “Twilight” series, [...]

A lesson in control.

November 7, 2008 – 2:53 pm

Kade has finally calmed down and is quietly drawing pictures of outer space so I have a minute to vent. Sometimes I just don’t have what it takes to be a calm, patient, level-headed mama. Sometimes I am dangerously close to losing it. Today it very nearly happened.
All morning I was battling a massive headache [...]
