Hello World...

I'm betting no one reads this blog anymore, but I thought I'd pop in with an update just in case.

Life is good.  Really good.  Well...Matthew still has diabetes and we're still tired.  But life is good. 

First......His last A1C?  6.3 

Unbelievable right?  I know.  Kevin and I are pretty sure our meter is reading high.  But whatever.  We'll take that number and move on.  With a grateful heart. 

(Along with a healthy dose of caution because seriously, random tests with other meters, show that our meter runs high every single time.  Guess that's why the A1C was so low.....)

Moving on...I'm finishing up a great Bible study with some online friends.  Here's the link if you want to join the new study in January.  (They haven't actually said they're doing one, but I'm betting they will and you will love it!)

Third...I've spent the last 3 weeks embarking on a CrAzY journey:  It's called "Hiding Romans 8 in my Heart."  Yep---the ENTIRE chapter!  Call me nuts, but I signed up.  Here's the link if you want to join me.  You would be a couple weeks behind, but you could still do it.  They have some great resources to help.  I've learned verses 1-6 so far....

Other quick news....Matthew won the spelling bee for the 5th grade.  That's the 3rd year in a row that he's won.  One of the benefits of reading constantly!

The house is decorated and I'm so ready to celebrate Christmas.  So grateful to the Lord for simply everything.

Hope you're all doing well.  One day soon, I hope to get back into blogging more faithfully.  And keeping up with your blogs.....Right now, I'm just enjoying life.

Finally!

I found myself singing the Camptown Races song this afternoon. But I have new lyrics:

Matthew's been in range all day
Doo-da, doo-da
Matthew's been in range all day
Oh doo-da day!

I needed a day like this! Woo Hoo! All those highs get depressing after a while.

Random Thoughts

Blogging?  What's that? 

Sorry I've been MIA....we spent fall break visiting Kevin's parents in Southern California.  Lots of fun, despite daytime lows (all the activity) and nighttime highs (crazy food at night.)

Because of the busy days and overnight checks, I was exhausted!  And......I finally slept through an alarm.  Knew it would happen sometime.  Fortunately, God was on-call and took care of everything!

Matthew had been 82 when we went to bed.  That's way too low after 2 super-active days.  I set a temporary basal and planned to check in  hour.  I ignored the alarm and woke up in a panic about 2.5 hours later! 

Thankfully, he was over 100.  But talk about stress....God is good though!

Matthew has a new line when kids ask about his pod.  He used to say "It's my battery pack."  The other day, my friend overheard him say "It's my soap dispenser." 

Pretty funny, huh?

Tonight is the second bookclub meeting.  Yes, I did have to read "Doctor Proctor's Fart Powder." 

And believe it or not, Matthew was true to his word---it really was a pretty good book.  It'll be fun to discuss tonight.

No News is Good News

I've got nothing to say.

Honestly, there is nothing exciting to blog about.

BUT... I can't leave that last post at the top of my blog any longer.  It was too scary and it's over.

So....now there's a new post at the top. 

No news is good news.  : )
