Dear Insulin,
I want to thank you so much for keeping me healthy, but enclosed is the 25 pounds that you have caused me to gain. That was an unexpected gift that you can have back. If I want to become a roly poly, I will be sure to let you know. Roly polies are so cute, however the show Roly Poly Olie is weird. I do not think I look good as a roly poly. Their life span is also fairly short... I am being desultory.
Sincerely,
The Intelligent Airhead

Blessings
Last Sunday, all 5 of us went to a church we are going to... We really like it, they are so welcoming and I definitely think we found a church home... I notice that many blog titles of mine have this same title... I just feel that there are so many blessings, I can hardly begin to count them. That helps on the rough days. It was the 8th anniversary of my mom's death. They sang a song called Blessings, that I had never heard before. I will share the lyrics here. It is so amazing...
"Blessings"
"Blessings"
We pray for blessings, we pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
And all the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
And all the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt your goodness, we doubt your love
As if every promise from Your word is not enough
And all the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise
When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not,
This is not our home
It's not our home
'Cause what if your blessings come through rain drops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
What if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are your mercies in disguise

blessings
I am so thankful for the people in my life. I am so thankful for the growth happening in my life, in my children and in my home 8).
i am so thankful for school, though I wish I could do better. I'll get there.
I'm feeling better, slowly but surely. It's taking awhile to heal me, which I suppose is understandable. This disease (diabetes) is horrible, and I completely hope they find a cure. I will definitely be doing JDRF walks and such. my numbers are lower, much lower, though they are still erratic.... I spend too much time in the 40-70 range... But we'll get me regulated. I'm a part of a great, great team.
As a type 1 diabetic (especially with no pump, because that's a clue, lol), I have purchased and am now wearing a diabetic alert necklace. I got the pendant off of ebay. It is amazingly awesome 8) It's a guitar pick that says diabetes on it... Kinda of a cool way of stating it 8D.
The boys are moving with their dad, so a lot of changes in their lives. They are changing school districts mid-Spring, which is a bummer. I really hope they adjust well, and I'm praying that all goes well.
