All Things D

I am a newbie at this so I send my apologies now for any mishaps (I am well known for these) or errors (I am guilty of these on occasion too).

Let me start off by saying Hello!  and Welcome!  I decided to do a blog because I constantly have people, friends, family and acquaintances,telling me that I should blog about my interests.  So apparently I am interesting...  I will share what is happening in my life and hope that you can grasp something from it too...or maybe I 'll learn from you!

My life revolves around D - Diabetes and D - Domesticity.  Diabetes because I am a Type 1 Diabetic and my 8 year old son, we'll call him T, is too.  Diabetes never stops, not even when you are sleeping because having a child with D means you are always in a light sleep waiting for their voice in the night, asking for help, or it's time to get up and test.  As for Domesticity, I never escape this because living in a house with all boys means I am always on duty.  My escape is training...and that is running, cycling or swimming.  Running and swimming are taking a back seat and so is training due to a car acident 6 months ago that left me with 2 injured shoulders and crazy rehab.  So for now, I sit, and I cycle whether it be on a stationary at the gym or in my garage on a trainer on my own bike. 

Some may ask, why still cycle?  Well....because I love it and also because when you have an injured area on your body it is deprived or lacking oxygen.  When you have an aerobic component to your day you increase your circulation and therefore force any oxygen to the injured area through the capillaries.  You basically are giving the area the most there is potential for.  It's hard most days to get on the bike but I feel so much better after.  Don't get me wrong, it doesn't improve my range of motion or make me "better" persay, but mentally and physically I feel relaxed.

As for the D today...not much domestic happened...lunches were made and kids were happy with the surprises I snuck into their lunches.  Notes from me telling them how I will miss each of them while they are at school and how I enjoyed having the last 2 weeks at home with them.  Gosh I love those boys!
In the other D corner, Diabetes corner that is, Bg's were golden today!  Not a low or a high!  And as for the T the D...stable as can be at school today.  Somedays I feel like I've got this...well at least for now! 

I will post as often as I can and make you laugh as often as I can too!

Cheers for now!
