Packing and Cleaning for Move #1

We are moving this weekend- to a temporary apartment for a little less than 4 weeks!  Jeff's new employer messed up his training schedule and we were originally have supposed to been on the road to Alaska last weekend. It turned out to NOT be a good weekend to travel as our route was hit by a blizzard and inundated with 18 inches of snow.  That would have been a lot of fun pulling a 12 foot cargo trailer behind us!  Traveling at the end of April will be much safer and we're hoping to see lots and lots of wildlife on the trip.

Currently, I'm up to my elbows in boxes and cleaning.  I have double ovens and only the top one is self cleaning, so I've spent the afternoon in the kitchen. Oh so much fun! My hands look and feel like dried up prunes! The house is mostly packed up, except for the girls bedroom and those things that we need to just survive.  

As far as Jada goes, her morning numbers have been perfect.  However, I've noticed the last few days, that even if she's on the lower side- say, around 100, even a small snack  (8 grams of carbs) in the afternoon will start her steadily climbing until her supper time shot.  Even last week, she wasn't doing this.  I'm thinking it's time to call her endo and send in her recent numbers.  It's nothing alarming, I'm just seeing a new trend for her.  I'm wondering maybe if we're going to have to do a shot at snack time, too-  which just makes me cringe.  I'm thinking it's high time to pursue a pump and I think we will as soon as we are settled in Alaska.

Well- it's back to more cleaning and packing.  Hopefully, I'll remember to stop and fix supper for everyone tonight! LOL!  I can't wait to be done with this!

OH --- NO!!!!

I can't believe I wrote the wrong date down for Jada's endo appointment!!  I thought it was supposed to be on Monday the 16th.   Holy cow- it's Monday the 9th!! Yes-- in a few days.  And I won't be here!!!! Jeff is going to have to brave this one on his own.  

I'm leaving for Phoenix in just a few short hours and won't be back until late Monday afternoon.  I'm feeling pretty badly about it.  Completely new doctor.  Probably a whole new way of doing things.  Crap.  I'm going to be gone.

So----if any of you think of my husband on Monday- please please please pray for him.  He's only ever been to one of her appointments and that was right after diagnosis.  Pray for a good A1C- I'm expecting it to be high- in my mind we've only had mediocre control of her numbers lately.

Well- off I go.  I'll be back next week with a report- good or bad!
