Today’s SAHM Quandry

Posted in Uncategorized by Type1of3

I realized half-way through this afternoon’s workout that I had smears of dried poop on my forearm. I changed 4 poopy diapers and ran 3 errands this morning….how long has that been there…?

We did a thing. The last time we did this thing, I didn’t recognize myself. I was angry, fearful, anxiety-ridden ALL THE TIME. I told Ryan that I couldn’t go through that again. My heart couldn’t handle being in that dark place ever again. It’s funny how something so second nature to one person can be so very dark and lonely for someone else. It was time though, time for me to be vulnerable and open my heart once again, time to lead with love and see where the journey would take me. Welcome to our family Max! In just a few short days you have reminded me that with a little love, darkness cannot survive.

Let love be your anchor through all the chaos and uncertainty of today.

Just leaving a little JOY right here for y’all 💙

Repeat after me: You are STRONG You are BEAUTIFUL You are capable of GREAT THINGS Stay the path, put in the work, and trust the process, even when it feels like all you’re doing is free falling. Remember, a river cuts through a rock, not because of it’s power, but it’s persistence. 📸 and coaching cred: @kate.doden

This book is challenging everything I know and have practiced throughout the last 25+ years of managing my T1D and I am here for it 🙌🏻! I especially love the authors dedication 💙

This past month, I have been having social media free weekends and now I don’t think I will ever just sit and scroll on the weekend. I have loved the opportunity to disconnect and be present instead of being pulled into the FOMO trap that is social media. However, this past weekend was both social media and technology free and not by my choosing. Let me explain... At 5am on Saturday morning, my insulin pump died. It totally kicked the bucket, unable to come back to life after multiple revival efforts. I was furious - it was 5am on a Saturday, this was the second time in just over a year that I’ve needed a replacement pump, and to top it all off I wasn’t getting my new pump until Monday morning. Did I mention that it was 5am on a Saturday?! . . So after my initial phase of complete annoyance (which lasted a few hours), I flipped the script to see the upside of not having my pump or blood glucose sensor for the next 48 hours. I was technology free!! No more robot parts to connect and disconnect, no more sites being pulled out on accident, no more beeps, buzzes, and alarms waking me up in the middle of the night. I actually got a taste of what it feels like to be a normal person and it was amazing!! As an added bonus, I had the opportunity to hone my math skills by carbohydrate counting for my bolus insulin and showed Nora how to inject insulin “the old fashioned way”. . . So while it was inconvenient to not have my robot parts, it was incredibly freeing and a surprisingly nice change of pace. Here’s to more social media free weekends and the occasional technology free weekend 😂
