I have more than used my two get out of posting free cards. My daughter had surgery and between caring for her and caring for my son on top of Easter weekend...I am exhausted, emotionally and phsyically. Seriously, I want to just crawl into a ball and disappear for a while. Is there anyone out there? Is anyone reading? I am truly curious, and it is hard to tell by the sheer lack of comments. I LOVE feedback. I try to leave it when I visit, won't you consider doing the same?
Todays prompt was to create a keep calm poster at this really neat site called: Keep Calm-O-Matic. I've seen these posters in a lot of places, esp. Pinterest. And, since I am trying really hard not to dissolve into a ball of anti-social selfishness, I gave it a try. WEGO asked us to create a poster that related to our condition. Immediately these two things popped into my mind. If I have these two things (and the means to dispense the insulin) in my posession, I have the means to keep my son alive. Insulin to combat HIGH blood sugar and candy to combat LOW blood sugars. I carry both of these things with me wherever I go. Because I have learned, that D doesn't like to play fair and just when I think I have things figured out, it likes to completely change the game...and sometimes, D just likes to be completely irrational. In all cases, I have to be calm so I can best figure out what to do for my son and we all know that panic is contagious and spreads like wildfire...so the best things I can do is:
Keep Calm
Carry Insulin
Carry Candy
And sometimes...SOMETIMES, I think Seth secretly likes to go low, so he can pop a couple packs of smarties in front of his sister...oh the sibling rivalry...and therefore my need to curl into a ball of anti-socialness. Any ideas for combating THAT?
Ok, so I have to comment so you know I'm reading and learning and growing with you! :) Hang in there! -Debbi (I don't have any of the kinds of accounts for it to you who wrote this.) :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Debbi. :)
DeleteMy grand daughter was diagnosed one year ago and it has been a rough road so far. I saw your post on Pinterest- and did a pin- Keep Calm ---
ReplyDeleteIt IS a rough road...no fun and I am sorry about your granddaughter...how old is she?
DeleteHey Becky, I am here :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kierstin! Would LOVE some beach time with you guys about right now. :)
DeleteHey, I'm here. "Pink" (my computer) was down for the month of March and since I didn't want to deal with pictures and the kids' computer I just didn't blog. Which meant I didn't even go to my blog to see anyone else's. Sorry - bad friend. Ummm antisocial? Is that like when you're sure boarding school is the answer? Oops, did that really slip out? This time of year we are all so done being inside and on top of each other that we get a bit {throat clearing} ornery too. The snow is starting to melt and the sun is actually warming our arctic home. We will get through this. Just keep repeating that to yourself. I know I am.
ReplyDeleteDoes this mean "Pink" is running again? I was wondering what was up when your blog wasn't updated. Not a bad friend...life happens, I certainly understand that. You are right, I am so ready for sun and happy that it is getting warm! BRING IT!
Deletebeautiful poster, you're brilliant. My sister's brilliant!
