Where in the good lords name did this month go? I have been very busy with dad this last month as he was just diagnose with diabetes and we have had one appointment after another seeing this person and that. Dr., Pharmacist, dietitian etc. Man what a chore this has been. His BS (blood sugar) has gotten as high as 530, and that freaked me out and we still hadn't seen the Pharmacist yet and were not on insulin, so I called the clinic many times with my concerns but was told very nicely not to worry, that he would be fine and well he was fine but it scared the heck out of me. We are giving dad 10 units of insulin a day and we are giving it at night, that seems to work best. his BS is now down in the hundreds and the seven day average is 157 so that is good compared to 360 when he started out with this. He has only been getting insulin now for 8 days, so again I say life is good for us now.
We went to a BBQ yesterday and had a good time, lots of good food and a chocolate machine with all kinds of fruit and marshmallow's, donut holes you name it they had it yum yum.
Today I had a yearning for cream brulee' and snowball cookies and I just finished making the cookies and the cream is in the fridge cooling. I only eat just a little but it sure is good, dad can't have but just a taste but he didn't like it before his illness so he said he's not missing anything. Well its time for me to say "I'll blog you later"
have a great day and a good week.
Then and Now

Good Morning Sunshine
Yes its a bright sunny day here in Lewiston, I'm still in my pj's and am having my latte, will think about getting dressed soon but I'm in no hurry. Dad just got up so must get his breakfast and coffee so am going to leave the post for a few. Okay back all is well dad has a full belly and I cleaned the main bathroom, put a load in the washer and dyed a load of clothes, woo hoo I am women hear me roar lol. Now for the kitchen and TV room and I'll be done with the mundane house work. I hate cleaning but its got to be done.

Night is upon us here in Lewiston
Just wanted to say good night, sweet dreams and all that stuff. have to go for now, do a little farming then off to dream land.. So will blog you later.
Rain Rain Go away
Well all morning it have been very bleak, over cast sky's, cold and now its raining cats and dogs not to mention hailing, it a good thing I didn't go on my bike ride that I was planning to do. The ground is covered in white right now, this is the kind of weather I like to be snuggled up on the couch reading a good book or watching a good movie.
I was going also to the store to get more yarn do finish a hat, but I don't want to go out in this. Maybe I should bake something, oh well we'll see.
I don't remember if I blogged about dad's new health problems or not, will have to look at my last post, so hang on for a minute. Okay back so I didn't say what has happened to him, well yesterday Dr. Rice called to let us know about his lab results from last weeks check, as everything has been good for him I was looking forward to a short conversation and then I could get back to crocheting hats, well as it turned out things were not as I expected them to be, it turns out that Dad is a diabetic and will have to be on insulin for the rest of his life so that means I have to learn how to give him his shots and learn how to cook his meals for him "oh bother", I really like cooking the way I cook so this will be a challenge for me as well, Hubby thinks it will be too much and maybe he should be in a nursing home, well I told him as long as I can cope and do for him he is staying right here with me. Wish me luck and my dad as we will need it now. Well have to go and give dad his pills so its time to say "will blog you later"

Another day in the neighborhood
Another day in my neighborhood, its a nice day today people are out mowing their lawns and cleaning up, its I think an early spring.
Just read a post on face book, there was a young man in a camouflage out fix with a hand gun and rifle walking around the junior high and high schools, he was caught thank god. Here in our little town that will be big news for days to come, all the kids at the two schools will have a hay day with this I'm sure.
Yesterday was a little hairy here in the Romero household, dad got up from the table and went and got some ice water from the fridge, dropped some ice and went to pick it up and I think he got up to fast because he fell and landed on the back of his head, I had him lay on the floor until he was stable then helped him up, which that was a chore as he is getting like dead weight anyway we got him up and put him to bed. Today he feels much better, don't think he will be bending down to pick up ice anymore. Its been almost two years since mom past away and I have noticed how every day now Dad seams to be getting more forgetful can't remember much of what happened in the last two or three weeks, but has a great memories of the past. Its hard to say this but I really don't think he will be with us much longer oh I don't mean this year but I think if he lives for two or three years longer we will be lucky. Its been hard losing mom so I know it will be really hard when he goes. Enough of that, its making me sad.
I haven't read any one's post today and I feel like a traitor for not doing so, will have to stop at sometime today to do so. I am going to say bye for now and will blog you later.
