I've been ignoring neglecting this little blog of mine. I know it....you know it...they know it.....everybody knows it.
I have been busy working on my Daily Organized Chaos site. I lost all of my followers when I changed the URL so now I am begging asking all of my followers and friends come back and re-follow.Do check it out. It's a great site and I worked very hard on it.
On the home front things are looking pretty hairy never mind my legs these days. Hormone Boy is a teenager and as all please, tell me it's true teenagers he's rebelling. I could handle little rebelling, but he's a teenager with diabetes and the rebelling is against his disease. Apparently he decided that he no longer needs to check his blood glucose levels......wait, it gets better.....he also decided he no longer require insulin.
This child is killing me slowly. I am at the end of my rope. His nurse told me that they all go through it and sooner or later he will come back to reality. I sure hope it's sooner then later.The worst part of it is that I was told just to sit back and watch him crush quietly. I am not allowed to keep checking on him constantly and reminding him because right now it's NAGGING to him and he will resent me for that.

So here I am quietly
Today, is my first parent-teacher interview in high school. I don't even want to know what they are going to tell me. If he's rebelling with his diabetes what are the odds he's rebelling with school work? Pretty stinking high!

Halloween is coming.....not a fan at all, but others around me are.My best friend's hubs was born on Halloween and my hubs best friend was married on Halloween.....did you get that?
Did you know that in some cities in the U.S. it's illegal for children 12 and older to TRICK or TREAT? I wrote and article about it. Just in case you wanna know more.
On a happy note......hubs had a successful knee surgery and is recovering well. He is spending his time bothering me between physio and finishing the LAST ROOM in our new home. Yes, you heard it here first. The Average Abode is nearly completed it took only 3 years and there will be one all bets are off kick-ass Housewarming Party.
I know what you're going to ask and YES, you are all invited!
Oh, I forgot to give you the date and the address? Silly me, imagine that.....the party will be on
Anyway, I need to go do some baking today. I came up with a new recipe for Apple Cookies so I want to try it. It sounds delicious on a paper, but we'll see how fast they'll disappear from the plate.
P.S. I am running a promotion for Environmentally Friendly Re-Usable Baby Food Containers so all of you Green moms out there check it out and save 20% till end of October using a promo code from my site.

I hope the teacher's conference is good news. Usually kids behave better with outsiders than with their family.
I am so not a fan of halloween either. We don't celebrate that in my country. I bought candy though and the kids will hand them out at the door to other kids like they did last year.
Their costume, was something I had to review. I wouldn't buy costume. I keep wondering if I'm a bad mother.
Glad the knee surgery is done and dh is recovering well and I want to come to that kick ass houseparty!
Do mail my cookies :)
Teens rebel. Sorry you are having to deal with it. I am waiting my turn. My son is 14 and has Aspergers. God knows what he will do.
If the cookies turn out good, share the recipe?
The link to your other site didn't work.
I would be dying if I was in your place too. It amazes me that as mothers we haven't died yet from all of the worry we go through.
And did you say, illegal to trick-or-treat? That is insanity!
I love the new look and everything!!! It will take me awhile to get used to the new URL :-)
I am so sorry you are having to watch this!! There is nothing worse than a parent having to sit by and watch their child hurt themselves!! I dread teenage years for this very reason. I hope he gains the wisdom he needs very soon!!
Hi Bibi,
My daughter is 23 and is diabetic since she is 17 months old. She went thru puberty rebelling about her condition. She gained 50 pounds when she transferred to High School. I had no control over her diabetic routine. It was pretty scary. I know how you feel. But she came out of it with flying colors. Deep down they know what they have to do and I'm pretty certain that she followed her routine albeit secretly to look like a rebel and somehow to prove something to me...go figure! They also told me to keep out of it! The more I nagged the worse it was. They say the brain of boys mature at 21. So you need to be patient. Finally she has a boyfriend that really gets on her case about taking care of herself. Alleluia! He even left her for being nonchalant! It is a godsend! She moved out and I have my life back (well you still worry). I too was alone most of the time coz hubby was away on overseas project! I worked, raised 2 girls and kept it together, how? I'm not sure. I think I took it one day at a time. Good luck!
Hi thanks for following me! I'm following you back now! Your blog is great- have a great day :)
Rebellion is normal, but when there is a health issue concerned I can totally see why you are getting stressed. Let's hope this is a short phase in his life.
Chin up, buttercup! :o)
I made it through one teen. Two to go. Life's funny.
I'm sorry to hear about your son. :(
I hope the conference goes well and that things improve for your son. I wonder if he has one bad day where he just doesn't feel well if that will turn him around. I'm unfamiliar with the disease so I'm not sure if that kind of thing happens though.
I didn't even know you had another blog or site!
Kids are constantly testing us - I hope he doesn't have to get sick to prove something!
I hope it's a good PT conference. I will be honest, they're not my favorite thing to do as a teacher…
Halloween? I'm so sorry that you don't absolutely love it. It is my favorite holiday of all time.
