Wow. Transitioning to the pump is...ummm...tough. Right there with you.<br /><br />This post got me though. I love it. I love you and I think you are simply fantastic.<br /><br />If people only knew what our life was really like. Sometimes I get mad, then I remember that I didn't know before Matthew was diagnosed. But....then I still get mad. <br /><br />Mostly because so many people (friends and family members) don't even TRY to understand.Tracy1918https://www.blogger.com/profile/11192789929262055057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-43851807496357178092011-03-04T11:28:11.270-07:002011-03-04T11:28:11.270-07:00New to your blog.

And no...we are not rich and spend double the amount of money on diabetic stuff than we do on vacations! <br /><br />We consider Facebook here to be the "Wild Wild West of the Internet" Some people just don't read what they write before they hit send.

She obviously does NOT get it! She wasn't thinking about D at all. She has no idea how challenging and stressful this life is and how desperately we need to escape it from time to time or how we need a dose of wonderful every now and then. <br /><br />And who is she to pass judgment like that???<br /><br />When we got a puppy last summer, we were all super excited. I posted about it on FB, and a friend commented, "that's all you need," as if three kids and diabetes were too much already. <br /><br />Some people don't know when to keep their thoughts to themselves!<br /><br />You go and have a great time! Don't think twice about your so-called-friend. You're going to create such good memories with your family. Your kids are going to be talking about this trip for a long time to come. Just enjoy it!Heidi / D-Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16203534776909805264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-49156245338208743592011-03-02T05:18:22.675-07:002011-03-02T05:18:22.675-07:00Facebook is a MINEFIELD!

One thing that always bothered me was when people would post about how bad things were in their household because someone was sick. It made me think they didn't know how good they had it. But that person who commented on your blog is probably jealous of you in some way and maybe having financial troubles or some other trouble and feels bitter. <br />Have a wonderful time on your trip. Live it up!!!! And take lots of pictures to post on faceook.

Diabetes is very expensive, so I know you had to sacrifice more in order to go. A lot of people do not know how to budget or save; a lot of people sacrifice and are extreme savers; then there are most of us who budget and save for vacations. Rather than complain you cannot afford Disney, better to get a part time job and save for it (and that person probably could, not having a child with D which also cuts into most families work capabilities). You go, girl, and enjoy every moment. You have earned it. And your children will remember this vacation for years to come. Disney really is magical for young children. ENJOY! I know you will have a blast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-36759889992970688102011-03-01T10:16:07.590-07:002011-03-01T10:16:07.590-07:00There is always going to be ignorance.

Sad that looking back at the pictures, you could tell he was sick and we just didn't really know. But on the other hand, I am so thankful that God gave us that time before to just go and have an awesome time. That is soooo what you deserve! It will be the best and Grand Californian will be perfect. And I only wish Emma would have been into American Girl when we went this summer. She got really into it when we went to Dallas in the fall and now she is obsessed. In fact, our Spring Break is revolving around a trip to one. :) I can't wait to see tons of pictures!! And feel free to rant all you want. We have been there and it always helps to know that others have the same things going on. Praying you have the BEST time ever!! I could go on forever about Disney!! It is just the best! Here's the link to our Disneyland pics (just to get you in the mood!

Funny thing is that I wanted people in my "everyday" life to GET IT. I ended up making a ton of friends in the DOC AND many of my IRL day-to-day friends read it as well. It has helped somewhat and sometimes it creates some "local controversy"...like when I went I talked about a PTO bake sale at open house night - LOL.<br /><br />Congrats on the trip. A family fun break is much needed I would say. xoxoAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-52526810530103149932011-02-28T23:55:37.764-07:002011-02-28T23:55:37.764-07:00Thanks, Denise. :) It's so funny, because we N...Thanks, Denise. :) It's so funny, because we NEVER splurge on a trip like this - we usually stay at a decent motel or a hotel using my husbands points from work. But this time he said "screw it - we're going to go all out!" We all need a break, even if diabetes will follow us.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05703099150939801754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4077635557105576899.post-52324827538239963772011-02-28T23:51:16.982-07:002011-02-28T23:51:16.982-07:00You guys deserve the trip!!

I'm trying to find a vacation for us to get away...too bad D has to come with us. <br />I also struggle with who reads my blog. I want to be real but I may hold back and not write something in case a family/friend reads it...kinda defies the purpose.<br />Anyhow...Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07490374648906561675noreply@blogger.com
