Go, Go, Go...STOP.

We have been needing to sell our house for about 2 years now.  We tried when I was pregnant with my son Wyatt, but it didn't sell.  Wyatt is now a year and a half old and we have totally outgrown this house.  Its a GREAT little house, but its little.  We have no play area's, no game room, no "extra" anything.  There is no hallway closet/s for storage either.  We store our blankets in the corner by the couch.  I'm love doing arts and crafts with the kids, but unfortunately there is no room to do big fun things because I have nowhere to store the stuff.  In our small little coat closet I have shoved all our art supplies on the top shelf.  That would be fine, but where do I put the things such as umbrellas and hats/mittens/scarves that need to be in the coat closet.  You get my point...back to the diabetes blog, Krista.

So today I started do the massive cleaning and boxing up of things we don't need on a daily basis.  We CANNOT put our house on the market the way it is now.  In Wyatt's closet we have an old sub-woofer of Nicks, a guitar of Nicks (PS, he doesn't play guitar...at all), extra diapers that kids grew out of that size before we ever got to use them....clothes boxes....and its not a very big closet!  So Wyatt's room got my attention today.  I went CRAZY.  The cleaning bug got me good.  Lysol wipes even got some major use in there...then...the xmas stuff started to get put away.  Boy, I am on a roll...  I also got 1 load of laundry washed, dried and put away...one more in the dryer and one in the  wash.... THEN...I feel weak.  Again.  Everyday for the past few days I've been going low.  Not at the same time as it would usually happen though. It might be at 10 in the morning, it might be at breakfast, after lunch, bedtime.  UGH.  So all my cleaning that so desperately needs my attention is stopped dead in its tracks.  I usually don't really care about having diabetes; I'm so used to having it that I hate it, but I don't let it get the best of me.  When it stops me from being able to do anything, I get kind of ticked off though.

Have I mentioned I've been looking into CGM's?  I was.  I decided against it because there seems to be more CON's than PRO's for me.  So, no thank you CGM, even though my insurance would pay for a great portion of it...  Want to know what I've been looking into though?  DAD's.  Diabetic Alert Dogs.  Pro's and Con's again though.  I NEED something to help me out though.  I need something that will give me a heads up before I go low, and before I get too high.  I can't keep living like this, I'll never make it.  I don't really know what to do...so I'm going to keep looking into things.  Right now, the DAD is looking like a pretty good option.  Keep reading to see where this takes me!
