Good News....Bad News

The good news is that I slept like a baby last night.

The bad news is that I slept well because a wasp stung me and I had to take 2 benedryl.

You know.....it was kind of worth it.

Weekly Update

It was a GREAT week. But....I was so busy having fun that I am WAY behind on reading everyone's blogs. Forgive me! I hope to catch up this weekend!

Here's a fast and furious update.

Tracy

• Good quiet time
• Playdates with friends
• Got Matthew to his yearly doctor's appointment (went great!)
• Several moms have signed up for the prayer partner list. (We even have a college student who wants to be involved. How cool is that?!) There is still time to sign up if you would like. Click here for more information. I think I'll let people sign up for the next couple weeks since people are away taking last minute vacations. I'll still start pairing up people in the next couple days and get that info out.
• Oh! And I turned a pretty fushia color after an afternoon at the pool. (Too bad fushia isn't in fashion.)

Matthew

1. Had fun with friends (despite being grounded from all electronics. Boy he hates that! I've got to remember how well this punishment works!)
2. Caught a couple lows and knew how to treat them! Woo Hoo!

Blood Sugar

• It looks like we're figuring out the late-night highs. They are much better. He still went pretty high the other night, but I'm making adjustments again. The next couple of nights will be interesting to watch. I will keep you posted.

That's it! Now get off the computer and go have some fun! : )

Ranger Rick

Do your kids read Ranger Rick magazine? Matthew has been an advisor for them for several years now. He gets to do all sorts of cool things. Preview games, help select covers, come up with story ideas....

Recently, they asked him to do a short book review for their website.. He chose Charlotte's Web. Click here if you want to see it.

FYI....you can still sign up for the Prayer Partner list. Nearly a dozen moms have signed up so far!!! Click here for more information. I will get information out to participants next week.

An Idea for D-Moms!

UPDATE: Several moms have signed up! Yea! I'll let others sign up this week and then I'll send out the info to everyone participating! So....if you haven't signed up, there is still time! : )

This morning during my quiet time, God gave me a great idea: Prayer Partners for D-Moms.

If you want to participate, you will be given the name of another D-Mom. The only requirement is that you agree to pray for your fellow D-Mom and her children daily throughout the upcoming school year.

Wouldn't it be encouraging to know that someone who "gets it" is committed to praying for you and your family? So many of us are already concerned about the upcoming school year, I think this would be a great way to start school on a positive note!

If you would like to participate, send me a comment with the following information. I will NOT publish these comments.

• Your name
• Your children's names (if you would like to share them)
• Make sure you let me know which child is diabetic
• Any specific prayer requests that you may have
• Your e-mail address----IF you would like this to be shared with your partner. (That way you could share specific prayer requests if you would like.) This is not a requirement to join the group! : )

Each week, I will post a "topic idea" with scripture references for your prayer time. Things like.....adjusting to school, wisdom for BS, keeping a joyful attitude, spouses, finances.....whatever. You wouldn't have to use those ideas.....it's just a thought.

Finally, as most of you know, I'm really new to blogging, so I don't know many D-Moms. If you know anyone who might want to participate....please pass this on!!
