But somehow we will survive.<br /><br />I also know what you mean about not wanting to be a burden. I think I did such a good job of not worrying my mom during diagnosis, that now she thinks we're all in control. Hard to balance protecting those we love and being close and real with them.

It will all be OK, but right now I am sure it feels somewhat overwhelming.

The thought of someone else giving her a shot is really hard for me to think about. Then throw in a cupcake at school and someone else having to give her so much more insulin without watching her like a hawk?? I am about to lose it! It is so overwhelming to think about what all going to school all day will entail and all the bad things that can happen. <br /><br />I get ticked about kids eating so carefree as well. When I'm at Natalie's school, sometimes I have to stay at lunch, and I find myself looking at all the other kids lunches (full of big time sugar/carbs) and then I picture their pancreas just going crazy spitting out insulin. Yes, I am crazy! Enjoy your weekend away...so glad your Mom is able to care for him.NikDuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00339827779693006419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-1812072362043460982011-05-12T12:43:02.374-07:002011-05-12T12:43:02.374-07:00First let me say take Heidi up on her offer!

Remember ...I'm so glad you're getting away! Remember this: you're in town. So if something happens, you can be home in a heartbeat, or your mother can call and you can talk her through the situation. Relax, enjoy and sleep!!!<br /><br />I know where you are with sending Adam off to kindergarten. Been there, done that! Please don't hesitate to call me, if you have questions, need to vent or anything. If you want my number, email me. I'll give it to you. I will share all of my school documents if you want those too.Heidi / D-Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16203534776909805264noreply@blogger.com
