3/28/11 -- School Nurse
Oatmeal and Sugar's blood sugars are fickle.
One day it works and the next it doesn't.
But she LOVES oatmeal.
I wouldn't feel good about oatmeal, and then sending her off to school if we didn't have such an awesome school nurse.
I love her.
Everyday, I pack a lunch with a note that looks something like this.
Everyday, she double checks my math and makes sure everything is in there before giving insulin.
Everyday, I know Sugar is in good hands...even if she had oatmeal for breakfast!
Today's Joy: Our wonderful school nurse!

Jason was out of town all weekend, so I was on my own to get all of us to church.
Attending service week after week keeps my spirit ignited,
and focused on becoming the person God intends for me to be.

3/22/11 -- Mom's Chat
Tracy and I met up for a little after dinner chat.
Sometimes I forget how nice it is to sit and talk uninterrupted,
and without whiny background noise.

3/21/11 -- Rainy Day
We don't get much rain here.
The girls LOVED going outside to play in it.
And so did Ivy.
I should mention that Ivy is afraid of water.
She doesn't like to swim.
She doesn't like baths.
She doesn't like puddles.
But she likes to chase splashing, spurting, sound-making water.
Like waves crashing on rocks.
Or a stream from a hose.
Or, you know, rain falling from the roof...
Crazy Mutt :)
Ahhhhh....but this was my favorite part of today's rainstorm...
Today's Joy: Rain for a thirsty desert.

3/20/11 -- Sunday Sundaes!
We attended a family event with the Starlight Foundation today.
This organization has provided abundant memories for our family!
From Dinner with Santa at the Zoo, to the Nutcracker Ballet, to sporting events,
to shows on ice, and everything in between...
The Starlight Foundation has been a huge blessing in our life!
Today was no different:
We were treated to massages...
manicures...
jewelry making...
face painting...
and an ICE CREAM SUNDAE BAR!
THANK YOU STARLIGHT!

3/19/11 -- Spring Cleaning
Jay took the girls to the Airshow today.
I'd love to be posting pics from that adventure
...but...
I'm not.
Because I didn't go.
I worked until midnight the night before, and slept in instead.
Then I finished hauling out the old clothes we no longer need,
and digging through the hand-me-down boxes to get ready for
SPRING!
I also got the floors washed, the bathrooms scrubbed, the house dusted,
and the laundry (mostly) done.
After a week of jam packed Spring Break fun, this place needed a little sprucing up.
So, while I opted not to go to the airshow,
I did end the day feeling a sense of accomplishment!
(Not to mentions well rested!)
Today's Joy: Chores...CHECK!
Oh, and PS -- Jay did get some cute shots of the girls with his phone. I'll post them eventually!

Sugar and J have been friends for several years.
J is one of the first pals we found after relocating to AZ from MD in 2006.
Their relationship is extra sweet, because both girls have Type 1 Diabetes!
