Brain is not working, but don't hold it against me

I want to apologize to all of you in advance. If this post doesn't make sense or if I ramble about nothing, please, forgive me.

I am so tired. My brain is on strike. Mr.Misery is gone since last Tuesday. He's been stuck in Yuma for 4 days due to those nasty storms waiting for his load.I am hanging on by a thread.

Hormone Boy had few rough nights this week. Couple night for some reason his blood glucose went really low hour after his bedtime. We had to stay up till midnight to make sure he's blood glucose is coming up to a safe level. That of course meant that mommy dearest was up all night keeping guard and going over to his room making sure he's breathing. Yes, when it comes to my kids I am VERY PARANOID.

We managed to fix the lows just to find out that HB's insulin pump came off somehow during the night and his blood glucose was very high. Well, that took us half a day to fix that.

He managed to go to school for his science test. He got 100%. I am not even sure if he studied. I'm telling you that kid is a GENIUS. If he would use that knowledge for something constructive I would be the happiest mom on the planet.

This morning everything seemed to be fine, so I am keeping my fingers crossed that the phone won't ring....

Honestly, I am just sitting here and thinking (don't laugh I do think sometimes)how much I changed since I started this blog and my journey.

I might be overtired and my brain is not working to the fullest right now, but I am calm, content, not stressed, not scared, not worried. I came a long way, baby.

Yes, I just padded myself on the back and it felt good.

I am finally at that point in my life that I realize there are some things I can't control or change. Such is life....

Now I need to learn how to give 100% to the things I can control and change. For that, ladies and gentleman I need fully functioning brain so that isn't happening today....but stay tuned....it will happen.

Did you have enough of my rambling? I know you did.

Anyway, today is Thursday and I joined with my Guide For Busy Moms blog Get Your Craft On Thursday over @ Life as Lori. Stop over there. Last time I checked there was 49 links to blogs participating.

Get your craft on Thurs.

It's so hard to function when you don't get enough sleep, but you definitely had a good reason to be up late. I hope everything goes well for your son. Remember, he may be the next Bill Gates then he can take care of you-housekeeper, personal chef, driver, you name it. LOL!

I can't keep a thought in my head when I'm tired. Hope tonight is better for you both.

I'm so there on the lack of sleep. I can't even come up with a rational comment.

As a chronic insomniac I so know how you feel.

On another note, I, too, have noticed your change for the better. Attitude (along with a little faith) makes such a different. I'm proud of you!

Hoping all goes well tonight and sleep visits you soon! Even with your lack of sleep it seems as though you're in high spirits. :)

Sometimes I blog when it is very late and then wonder...Did anyone understand anything I wrote.

Blogging is not in vain. it is a great outlet!

I would have done the same thing if it was my kids. Anything goes wrong and I'm up all night peeking in on them (and I remember all too well from when I was in insulin how scary low sugar episodes are).

I'm glad your blogging journey is helping you! That's great to hear.

I am so tired I lack lack. Does that even make sense?

We're all going down one by one with the stomach virus. I am a ticking time bomb.
