The beach on a hot summer day...not a good idea!

-


We went to the beach with the in-laws on Monday and all I got was this lousy sunburn! Actually, we had a great time.(pictures to come) but this is day three now and I'm hurting so bad I can hardly move. Kind of ironic since we just had a lesson in sun safety. The picture shows what I looked like right when we got home. Take that and double it to get an idea of what its like now. I can't relax. Sleeping is near impossible and siting in my recliner is a pain. It still burns, clothes are out of the question and the sun can go to where even it doesn't shine! I haven't been able to leave my house, so that means that neither can Alana. Missed gymnastics today. Can't go to the store or do any of my to do's... This SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youch!!! I know it sounds crazy but you should try pouring vinegar on it. It'll burn just for a second (EVERYTHING burns on it!!) but it takes the sting COMPLETELY away. I got burned like that on a day activity my junior prom. I was literally purple and had water blisters all over me. After I poured vinegar on myself for a while it was TONS better and I enjoyed the night. Try it!

Hospitalization,an Answer and "B" for BRAVE { Part 1 }

Friday, March 23, 2012   I received a phone call from my oldest daughter Alana's Kindergarten teacher. Mrs Munos was concerned that Alana wasn't acting her bubbly self.  I had noticed that she seemed to have been sleeping a lot and wrote it off to the time change and just getting back from spring break. But now I had a little flag from her teacher.  I began to wonder if there was something wrong with her.  My first thought was depression.  So I sent her out on a Daddy Daughter date with my husband to see if it would boost her spirits. No such luck.  I've never heard of a child being so glum at the Kemah Boardwalk. But in fact, she hardly cracked a smile. Over the weekend Alana seemed to get worse.  She slept for a good part of church on my lap and I really began to worry.  Alana was eating like a teenage boy, drinking a ton of water and using the restroom several times an hour.  My husband, Chris, even thought she might have mono. ...

Hugs Jugs

We D-Mommas are always looking for low carb options for our kids.  While at Kroger yesterday, I felt compelled to check the carb counts on Little Hug Fruit Barrels.   I was very surprised to find that one Hug was only 2 grams of carbs and twenty count box is only $3! I was so excited that I bought two boxes.   When it came time to pick the girls up from school, the excitement was still flowing through my veins.  So I packed a few in my purse to give the girls in the car on the way home.   Results of the taste test were awesome.  Alana loves them.  Not to mention that they made her feel more like a normal kids.  Normal is great in my book.   I'm trilled that I no longer have to by different drinks for all the girls.  The price, taste and nutritional facts make Hugs a winner in our home.

All in the Family?

 This is one of the saddest posts I've had to write in some time... Two weeks ago I got a phone call from my brother in law, Brad.  He started the conversation with a little laugh and "I think your Alana has rubbed off on Reed" I was perplexed.  Oh no.  What did Alana do now?   "It looks like Reed is a type 1 diabetic too" I was floored.  I had just gone to Alana's school to give a talk on T1D, now we have another child in my husband's family who is insulin dependent. (My pancreas prop) Reed and Alana were born a year and two days apart. Reed had to go to the hospital in DKA on his tenth birthday.  It's the worst birthday present EVER!!! I felt hopeless and all I wanted to drop everything and fly out to Utah to help out.  But Alana was turning nine the next day and there was just no way I could make it happen.  So we scheduled to skype that night. While laying in his hospital bed, we talked to him, c...
