Kids Come & Gone/Diabetes

It's been a busy 2 weeks. Dylan Pots came to visit during his spring break. Gosh he is getting so much taller then I really thought he would. We had lots of fun with him here. If you don't know Dylan has been diagnosed as a Diabetic. How it all happen is last summer we were all playing with my machine for I test every once in a while and we decided to test him. His BGN was in the 300's. I panicked and took him to the DR and had test ran. Then on his Birthday he tested at 440 no cake for you. The DR at the ER said to me I will not diagnose this as diabetes for he may want to get into the army someday. So when he went home to dads after a long summer his dad got him into a specialist and yes he is at the very earliest stage of Diabetes this DR had ever seen. One day he will be on insulin but for now it is strictly controlled by diet. So while he was here I worried he may eat a bunch of junk I have in my house for he always had. I spent more time worrying that they will spike again. We did good he only had it one time where it was 240 or so and he was so good about getting up and going for a bike ride to get his numbers down. Then it was my birthday which someone brought me a big 2 layer chocolate cake and he bugged me to no end for a piece of cake. He kept asking me if I wanted a piece and I would say no for I don't like cake at all. So I finally told him he could have a piece. The next day I was so worried I would come home from work and he had ate the whole thing when in fact he ate none of it. WOW Dylan does watch his diabetes. All in all it was a great visit with Dylan. But before he left Samantha came to visit and it is always fun when Sam comes. She ended up getting to take Dylan home and see her baby. All I can say with your kids test them yearly for diabetes. More on that later........

Well Congrats Judy & Ryan with the baby. I have the first picture that was sent out by phone and show everyone how fat and cute she is.

A Week Alone....

OK so I bet you all think that just because I have the house to myself that it is relaxing. NOPE! I find that I talk to myself more. I have put a 500 piece puzzle together in 2 days. So I decided to start on 1000 piece puzzle hoping it would take me to the end of the week. I have also been pretty sick and never thought someone could sneeze 1 million times. Well I have in the past 3 days. I have also ate 14 meals each day for I keep walking into the kitchen to go out the back door to smoke. It's crazy here! But hey at the weeks ending it will be my BIRTHDAY and My 2 boys will be home with me.

New Things To Write Home About

Well I am so glad the warm weather is on the way. I can tell it is getting warmer my allergies are coming back in full force. If I am not allergic to enough foods I am allergic to most flowers. I have found that carnations are something I can have on my desk in my office.

Spring also brings spring break for the kids. Jeff left on a week long journey to Janet's. He will then pick Dylan up and bring him home. It is so funny because Dylan said the other day I hope he doesn't drive slow. I said Dylan he better not go over 25mph all the way here, he is bringing my precious baby boy home to his mom and don't want him hurt. He said then I am not going because that will take up half of my week vacation. Oh I forgot with Jeff gone with my Car I get to drive the pimp mobile. More on that to come with pictures.

I am learning to sing, every time one of my staff has a Birthday Party they invite me out to sing Karaoke with them. Mind you I have never sang they would have kicked me out of the place. Well the staff got a great surprise the other day I bought 2 karaoke machines for my work houses. They got it all set up and I turned it on and belt out a tune like no other. I don't think I sounded so good for the staff were shutting the windows so the neighbors would not call the police. I didn't just do one song but 8 songs. It was so much fun. I didn't have a voice after all that but I had fun. Then again today i just could not resist singing a couple of songs again. I am guessing they won't be asking me to come sing with them again.

As for my love life I am starting to see someone new. He is a great guy who has chased me for 2 years. He is quiet. He stays year round up at his cabin out of town. Right now you have to take a snow mobile to get there. Why after 2 years of him chasing me, well I got the chance to see him and out side the bar and he is actually a great guy with a lot of personality. The interesting thing is he came down for the day last weekend and ended up staying in town. I told him he could come over and crash on my couch. Yes my couch. So we walked through the door and there is Jeff who has NEVER experienced me bringing anyone home from the bar. To say the least he was not happy with me. Well the next morning I got up and there was Jeff cleaning his paintball guns. It was like he was sending a warning to him. Like a father would to his daughters boyfriend. TOO FUNNY! Well I will keep you updated on Mick and I. I am not saying it will work I just know I am taking things slooooooooow!

Well nothing else is happening here. Going to enjoy a quiet week alone. Unsure what I am going to do with myself but I will keep busy for sure!

Nothing to write home about

Everything is going great here in good ol LaGrande. Spring is just around the cornor I think. I am doing well. Nothing to write home about I guess. Jeff is getting ready to go to Janets for spreak break from school. Then he will be bringing Dylan home for his visit here. I can't wait to see him. Well I enjoy reading everyones blogs keep them comming.

Visit To Tricia's, Been Sick

Hello Everyone:

Well I made a trip to Beautiful Riggins, Id. That is a great place to visit if it is warm. Too bad I was sick at the time so I didn't get to enjoy the whole thing. Well the funny thing is if you go to visit Tricia you best know where she lives or you can always visit Sheriff Woody and he will let you know. I got into town at about 10pm and my cell phone didn't work there so I had to visit the sheriffs office to find out. Dang he is a cutie no wonder Tricia chased him. Well Tricia got moved and she didn't kill anyone in the processes. Imagine that! LOL

Well for being sick I have been down with pneumonia and then bronchial issues and now I have lost my voice. I am now going on 3 weeks with this and starting to feel better. I never get sick, But what ever it is it has gone through all the staff and then all 8 clients. They were all sick. It's been a long road for all of us. It is the biggest illness I have seen hit so many at once.

Well I hope everyone else has been well! Keep in touch!

Jeff didn't STARVE at Samantha's

Jeff got home tonight, thank goodness for his car I could have not done one more day. Well he gets home and tells me how much fun he had visiting his sister and I am all excited to hear what they did until he told me he didn't go hungry. I said well I am glad you didn't what did you eat and he said we ate at a bunch of homeless shelters. I said WHAT? He said ya it's like cafeteria style. He then said I got a free box of bread there. I said what for that is for the people who are homeless and you are not homeless. He said Mom when you saw all the food they threw away in the garbage I would not say they needed it. I said yes they do. He then told me about seeing all the people sleeping on the ground outside. I think it was a eye opener for him and made him realize what he has.

Pimp My Ride

Ok so Jeff is out of town and left me his car to drive to work and around town. There is nothing like it, it is like driving a Mexicans car with out the frilly bells around the edges and dice in the rear view mirror. It is so embarrassing to drive I want to put on a disguise to go out. It all started out when I went out to drive it to work this morning and my hair gets caught on something above my head I look up and it's one of the 100's of staples he used to staple the cloth to the ceiling. I drive up to work and every ones is looking to see who is parking in the bosses spot and then they see me. It is not funny. Then I get a call from my dear son asking if I would like to trade my car with one Sam has which could not be worse then the pimp mobile then what I have. You can only imagine my answer.

Yes Janet this car is worse then the blue bomb you gave me. So you know I thought about having the little balls wrapped around the edges for him and I would hang up dice but hey there is no rear view mirror! He better come home SOON!
