Sun Showers and Moments
Today was beautiful. I awoke very tired as last night Lizzie had a low. she was 2.1 at 10pm with lots of insulin on board so that meant I was in for a night of checks and juice to make sure she would be okay. By 1 am she was over 6 and had little insulin in her so that meant I could go to sleep. Shortly after I fell asleep Jack crawled into bed with me - his diaper full of pee and hungry. I changed his diaper and although agreed he could have a bottle there was no way I was getting it. So I postponed in hopes that he would fall back asleep. Success! He fell asleep and thus so did I.
715am came way to quickly but thank goodness for boobs with milk and I-phones with kid games as that kept the boys in bed just a bit longer for me to WAKE UP!
By 8 we were all moving and lucky me my sister stopped in for coffee. And she brought the coffee!
After she left the kids played and I slowly tried to do some laundry, clean the dishes and sweep the floor.
After lunch we took a walk to the park just up the road from us. It just so happened that a ball game was on. So we huffed it up the last little hill to the game and sat down to watch. I think this was Jacks first time watching baseball. He said he would like to play it - I will have to investigate that maybe next year.
After the game my sister took my two big kids so that I could take Luke to the walk in clinic. So I now had a few hours to myself with Luke too. After the walk in - and my son was okay, I headed home. Luke fell asleep so I grabbed a book and sat under my tree in the sun and began to read.
As I read I heard a strange noise and wondered what it was. So I stopped reading my book and just listened to the sound. It was intriguing and then a drop landed on me and then more. Soon I realized the sound I heard was the rain. The world was having a sun shower. One of my most favorite things. I love how the sun shines through the rain drops, how it is cold and hot all at the same time.
I just sat there. For a moment in time I had a moment to just be. I had a moment to enjoy the rain, the silence and in that moment I remembered just a little bit more about myself.
In my last 5 years of having children it has been easy to get lost in them. My world is them. I love it - my children and my life. Sometimes though I wish for a moment to be me but my time will come to find me this I know. For now I am my kids and I am proud of this.
oh dear.... a child is crying.... I must go.............................................
It was Lizzie, she is okay but it worried me. We had another low tonight, only 3.6 but still with lots of insulin on board. My first concern when I hear her cry is if she is crashing so I whip out our sugar kit and accost her finger with a poke. She is 6.4 with insulin on board, so much that I can not yet go to bed. Maybe in one more hour I can go to bed I will just have to wait and see what her number will be then.
Oh the life of a pancreas so.... different. So I still will head to bed with a book as I told her I would be back in one hand (5 minutes but we talk in times of one hand, two hands or two hands and two feet (20 minutes)).
Good Night!
