I really didn’t expect anyone to ever come read this site anymore and when I got 3 real honest-to-goodness comments (and not spam) I was shocked. And I instantly felt guilty. How dissapointing this site must be?? Oops.

So here’s a bulleted update about how crazy busy I’ve been:

1. I’m working anywhere from 9-14 hours days and have been for at least a month, every single day.
2. I got it in my head that I have to wash, dry, and fold every piece of clothing in this house, all at once. Then, before I put it all away I need to go through it all and donate what doesn’t fit anymore to Goodwill. This has taken me over a week to accomplished and I still have 3 clean loads to go through.
3. Some friends of some friends gave us (yes, GAVE) us a hot tub. And not just a crappy small hot tub, but a really nice, beautiful HUGE hot tub. (And it’s purple!!!) This required us to re-think all of our plans for the backyard and finally today we have a concrete poured where the hot tub will go. (My 5 year old son promptly walked across the wet concrete when we weren’t looking forever embedding his footprints in it… we didn’t discover it till it was too late…)
4. It’s spring cleaning time. And I don’t mean just do some extra cleaning. I want the carpets cleaned, the couch cushions cleaned, the walls scrubbed, new wall hangings hung, new house plants planted, etc.
5. We’re having two trees dropped in our front yard and have been working to get that ready.
6. We’re having a party on the 4th of July so obviously all this needs to be done and perfect before then.

I’m sure there’s more but I’m tired and it’s hot.

On the diabetes thing, I’ve discovered I totally suck at being a “diabetic”. I really do! I don’t even test but maybe once a month. I’m still (slowly) losing weight, though and even treated myself to a bunch of new clothes. My eating habits still suck (I eat breakfast way too late most days and sometimes forget to eat at all .. till I start to pass out then the light bulb goes off). I do take my pills like a good girl, but I have totally not figured out how to incorporate an exercise routine into my crazy days. I always think “today’s the day I’m going to at least walk around the block” but it never happens.

So yeah, I suck at being a diabetic. I don’t FEEL diabetic anymore, though. I know I”m healthier and I know from my past doc appointments that my blood sugars are pretty under control. But I could be better about this, and definitely more responsible. It’s just hard sometimes when you don’t feel like anything is wrong.
