In my spare time, hahahaha

So, i'm busy... This is the understatement of the year. Between family (including my boyfriend, his son, and fam), school (going full-time this semester), and full-time work (for now), I feel stressed and tired... Also, we're still sorting out the diabetes. Insulin is great but it can cause such lows and other side effects.

 We will soon have the definitive answer of whether I am type 1b (1.5) or type 2. I have more dr appointments next week, and I am especially nervous about one of them, but it will all be ok.

I had a rough day mood wise yesterday. I snapped at someone and just was cranky for the day 8( It happens but I will get better. Low blood sugar  makes me soooo cranky, but I don't want to make excuses, so this is another growth opportunity.

The boys have been doing well. A has had some tough times, but we're sorting through how to control his temper and calming himself down... (I am thankful I have my reminders of how hard controlling my mood can be. It also gives me great ideas to help my sons 8D) T is doing well and I have officially been nominated to help him in his Pre-ap math... not good 8D lol. They are amazing and growing so much.

God is wonderful. I am very thankful for His blessings in my life.

Lance, really?

I know, I know, It's all been said, etc. I am not surprised that he doped. I could almost give him a pass on that. He was hurtful to so many people and went so far as to sue those telling the truth. That's a whole new level of a big time meanie! I know, I said it!!! I'm a mom, let's face it 8D. He has done some good, yes, but he cheated to do it. I am thankful for Live Strong, but can't imagine the hurt and pain within him that must be there, for him to insatiably inflict upon others. Prayer, love and light to him could help and i'm sending what I can.

a big announcement...

There will be a big change in my life and in the boys' lives in the very near future. I'm not ready to announce it, but it's big and exciting and has to do with my education. It will be a great deal of hard work, but I'm looking forward to it.

day by day

This new year has brought a huge medical hurdle that I must now face. My diabetes was a bit out of control, perhaps a lot bit. And due to the treatment of asthma, it became an insurmountable obstacle.I was one of those people who listened to those who say, "everything in moderation." Unfortunately, that is no longer a way of life that I can afford. I must be very very careful from here on out. I am now an insulin-dependent diabetic. There's a part of me that wishes that I could have been successful in turning diabetes around permanently. Unfortunately, that does not look like it will be my reality. I have a great doctor and great people around me. My boyfriend is being so supportive, and I am very thankful for that. This is a big obstacle so soon in a relationship, and I am thankful that he is so supportive, helpful and kind in this.

This was a major scare, and I'm thankful that I am getting through this. This blog will be in part some diabetes tips and recipes as well, especially focusing on gluten-free.

Thank you, everyone, for your prayers and your love. God is so good and I feel so incredibly blessed. I am thankful for so much in this.

Peace, light, hope, and love
