Another Insulin Reaction

Today started out pretty good, I was feeling fine. Chloe and I made Blueberry muffins and scrambled eggs with cheese. I should have known not to drink the Coke but I just wasn't thinking and all of a sudden it happened, my blood sugar slammed fast, this time with no warning. Thank God for the oranges on the tree outside. The oranges helped pretty fast but as always when it was all said and done I was and still am totally wiped out. I've got to be so careful. This is all so new to me, just a few weeks ago I was able to drink coffee and Coke and have a few sweets now and then and now I can't, without a bad reaction. Oh well, I've dealt with Cancer I can deal with Diabetes too.

I did take a short nap though and then watched Pineapple Express and Baby Mama with all the girls. It was nice and relaxing. A good way to spend winter Solstice I guess. Christmas is almost here. We will all get together and exchange a few gifts and have a nice dinner and have fun just being together. We aren't into the whole Santa thing, to the little ones he is just a character on TV like Dora the Explorer etc. We want them to know that the whole season is about being with loved ones, and having fun. I feel bad for the little ones who come from poor families who have been good and then santa doesn't show up and there are no gifts. There are so many parents stressed out about not being able to spend like they have in the past, I just think it is time to rethink allot of things we all do.

I am going to go get in bed and cuddle up in my big blanket and read or watch a movie with Chloe. We will probably watch Polar Express. We put on the movie and pretend we are getting on the train, so we jump in bed and cover up and pretend to take the train tickets, and then as the train takes off we pretend we are going along with. Chloe loves it and it is one way to get her in bed, before you know it she's sound asleep.

Hugs,
