Tomorrow will start my first weekend of my life as a human pin cushion. This should be interesting. Because this will show if I can handle being out and about with my machine and puncture gun.
To start my weekend off: Both hubby and I will take the kids to school. So we can drop our daughter's cookies for her birthday off to her teacher, and let both kids' teachers know that we will be picking them up instead of htem getting on the bus in the afternoon. And that we will also be picking up H and J since they will be spending the night with our daughter DeLaney.
Then we will go to the post office so I can mail out my cousin's holiday card to China and mail out my new pen pal's first letter. I should have mailed it a week and a half ago but I am sure she will understand when I write her again to let her know what has been going on. I should also mail out the last of my Holiday cards tomorrow but I doubt I will get them out. I still have letters to print off for 40 more cards!:D The first 40 went out 2 weeks ago. And I am only doing immedite family and have half of my address book left for relatives so I am not sure how many of my friends will get cards this year, since we be broke. And I can't send out my usual of 150-200 cards.
After the post office, hubby and I are heading up to Liberal, KS so I can get our kids' holiday presents and some diabetic type food, since the grocery stores down here don't cater to diabetics. I am finding out this area doesn't have a lot of diabetics. I still haven't heard from the dietian. So my mom is going to have one of my highschool friend's mother call me. She was the director of the Diabetic research team at the hospital and now she is something else to do with Diabetes at the hospital now that the research thing is over with. I am also debating if I break down and spend between 20-50 bucks on hubby for a present. Even though I said no presents this year for us. I just hate the fact we won't have anything to open. My mom usually gives us a hundred bucks but she has loaned us money this year and I went to pay her back a hundred when I had the money and she said to keep it for the holidays. I paid bills with it:D
Then once we get back from Liberal, we have to go to the regular grocery store and pick up two weeks of food for everyone and get snacks for 4 kids tomorrow night. After that we have to go to the storage unit and get our queen size camping air mattress out so the girls have something to camp out on in my living room tomorrow night. Next we have to go to this wally world so I can pick up my test strips and my prescript florid for my teeth. Finally we have to go pick up 4 kids from school.
After I get everyone settled down, order pizza for the night, I have enough time to run to the YMCA to meet my friend Tara and pick up popcorn that I bought from her son the boy scout during soccer season. Going to give one can to the landlords......might lace it with laxatives but hubby says I can't:D Pick the pizza up and then go home and wrangle three 8 year old girls and 1 seven year old boy and a 37 year old man:D
Saturday we are takign the kids to the movies. DeLaney hasn't picked her movie out yet. Before we go we will open bday presents and eat lunch and have cake. Or I should say everyone but me will have cake:P
So this should be interesting to see if I can remember to take all my medication and do all my finger pricks running all over Good Goddess creation!
On the up note, the kids are being really great about things. It helps that we already bake, broil or grill most of our foods, they love veggies and fruits and we don't let them have a lot of sugars and junk foods. Both kids have been taking turns holding my machine while i squeeze blood on to the strip. DeLaney even went and broke out my first aid gloves!:D Coltin has finally asked if he could prick me. I don't think so, he is my lil growsome and violent is kewl child:D He might try to get even with mommy with a prick for making him do homework right after school!
