I should be taking a nap!

I laid down to catch up on some sleep but the mind was racing. This has been a long week and it is only Wednesday. Certain situations call for laughter though the tears and my Ally is that. We went to the doctor on Monday- talked about the difficulty controlling (I mean managing) the diabetes. Doctor said not much that we can do - she is still growing! Told me not to worry so much. (That is not possible.) Also said that I could let her remain high through the night if I needed more sleep. For me this is not a option I know what is happening to her body when her blood sugar is high. I cannot sacrifice her future health so I can get more sleep. I just have to continue catching a nap whenever I can. But I spent all Monday afternoon and Tuesday feeling bad because I worry so much. Yes, I get the irony of worrying about worrying too much. Then Tuesday afternoon the doctor called back the lab results were in- now they were worried. That made me giggle:) Anyway, they are changing her thyroid medicine, doubling the dose, and we have to go back in 6 weeks. In the meantime, please monitor her blood sugar every 2-3 hours around the clock. See sometimes moms do know best!

12 on the 13th

As I have already blogged I am trying to take the twelve pictures on twelth of each month to scrapbook the ordinary days of my life. To describe my life this month I believed that Tuesday was the twelth only to wake up that morning and discover that it was the thirteenth and so I took my pictures that day. So here are a couple of my favorites.

These are some of the antelope I saw on my way to town. Also notice the cat prints on my windshield. We love our cats.

I love this picture because my husband is actually helping me take out the garbage.

These are some of my plants that haven't frozen yet. I took a tour of my year to check on all my plants and trees. We already have weeds growing!

Ally got to work in the lunchroom. She was so excited because then she got free lunch. Appartently we make her pay for her lunch on the other days.

So these are some of my ordinary or not so ordinary pictures!
