A New Chapter, Some Freedom

Well today marks the day that my youngest daughter Dakota started on an insulin pump, we have been on it for about 10 hour as of right now. Yes I said we, when your child is a Type 1 Diabetic the whole family has it. The care she needs at times can be 24/7, at least pre-pump. It is my hope that she will have a little more freedom, she is 12 after all and having everyone all up in her face about things is hard on her. Even with as well meaning as it is.

While I am concerned with the change, concerned with the change in routine, the compilations that can go with this change. In the end if it works for her it will be better for all, no anything close to cure, but certainly could lead to a better quality of life.

So here is to a new chapter!!!

This Time A Year

It has been 8 years since my sisters last Christmas. I don’t know what it is but this year has been the hardest on me. Christmas was her absoulate favorite time of year, she lived for this time of year. I on the other had have been turned off a little for many years. Christamas just isn’t what it use to be when I was younger. I think that I only celebrated because of the kids and Mom and Dad. I have tried so hard this year to get into the spirit. Maybe it is because of the grandbabies, maybe it is the my parents failing health. But I have tried so hard this year, but I just can’t get over the hump. I have been emotional. All I can think about is how happy she would be knowing that both the boys would be there. All in all I can think about he my sister and how much I miss her more everyday.

The Road So Far

So we are ending the 5th week of school. How am I doing you ask? Well in short.....struggling. There just does not seem to be enough time, when I try to set time aside responsibilities come up. It is really  wearing me out. The only positive thing is that the classes I am doing I have enough familiarity and can “fake” it enough that I getting bye with an decent grade. It should be better, but it isn’t, at this point it is all about getting to the finish line of the set of classes. Sadly it is only going to get worse in the next 8 weeks as I have a composition class as well as a lab. I think I will ok with the lab, but the composition class is going to really try my resolve to reach this goal. I know I have other classes like this in the future, but being my fist one and so early in the process this will be a much better test for me. I can’t “fake” this one.

Just Not Feeling It

So the past few weeks, well maybe months I just not feeling the work thing. It not like my job is hard, well shouldn’t be hard. There are times where others make it harder than it has to be, and some of the people I deal with are just difficult to deal with. But overall this job is not complicated, I am just not feeling it. So those that might say “why don’t you find another job”, to them I say I have been trying. I haver looked, had a couple offers that didn’t work for family reasons, others that just never came to together. But I am looking, maybe at time passively, but I am looking. What gets me is that it is not like I am not apprecated at least by my superiors, or most of my co-waorkers. So I should not really be feeling the way I do. What way is that you you ask? THe feeling that the job I do is thankless, that people that I have to deal with don’t really want me around or care for what I have to say...even when they know that I am giving them sound advise, its just that it
