5/8/11 Mothers day

OMG what can I say out of exile... I love staying at Lynns and my sugar was better there. Took Alex out walking Friday night we made the loop 2 miles. Dont know that Im ready for 2 miles.... We had a great chefs salad for supper. And had blackened slamon for lunch Trini and Alex got to play together and he gets along so well with Shiotsy. ( The rottwieler puppy. ) He was sitting in the chair with Trini and she was reading him a story every time he cried she would pat his head am tell him it was ok..Very sweet ! Thursday night we found out that Dan was bringing his dogs. The boxers and Alex is well he is an instigator and they both jump on him. So he is better off to go somewhere else while they are here. Not to mention and they did not tell us that Issobelle was in heat. Good gracious ! Blood sugar before I went to Lynns with Alex was 152 dont ask me what I had eaten cause I cant remember. At any rate it was maddness. We spent all day Friday at Lynns Alex and I and that let Larry and Mother have a nice visit with Dan and his family. On Staurday morning I got up and came in to take care of the boxers, while everyone else drove to Shreveport to pack Dans things and help him load a U Haul. When I got home Larry and I drank coffee on the back patio for a while before everyone was up. Once the dogs were up all hell broke loose. They fought Dan ran out and punched Izzy broke his hand. So that fuss was over. Wynne is upset cause he was mean to the dog. Trixie is bleeding all over the place she has a gash on her ear. Things are quiet for a few minutes then there is another fight. Like all hell breaking loose. Dominance issues. You know ? So this time Dan runs out and kicks both dogs cussing and asking them di they want some more. Every body is upset walking on eggshells and he says he is afraid to go leave them with me. for fear they will kill each other. Thank Goodness Alex was at Lynns and Chewie was safe in the dog pen. They were wild things. So once everyone got off things settled down. The dogs found a spot and piled up. And me well I poked around and did some laundry went over to Wal Mart for a few minutes. And when I came home worked out in the yard. Now explain to me how walking makes your sugar come down and working makes it go up.... I know I walked 2 miles out there in the yard and although the sugar was not high it should have been lower because of all the exercise. So I had yogurt at Lynns before I cam in Blood sugar was 111. Had a roast beef pita for lunch with lettuce tomato and onion and a short ear of corn.. The roast was so tough I fed most of it to the dogs. and just ate the veggie and pita. Had a chocolate popsicle man it was hot and I was working so I figured what could it hurt ?? and if it was bad Id go for a walk. Before lunch blood sugar was 108 nothing but coffee between. At supper I had tuna salad and cole slaw and one pita pocket. now if I had stopped there I would have been good. But I was stressed and I guess trying to comfort myself. I ate a whole pound of strawberries. Course now you cut the tops off and had to throw a couple away.. Who am I kidding here I was a pig and I ate them because I wanted to. Everyone came back in about 8:30 and I had thought I would go back to Lynns and stay with Alex but you know I would have been in dutch because that would have been my snubbing Dan and one more big fight so I stayed. Blood sugar at 9 was 134 not all due to strawberries I assure you. Then Dan and Larry ordered Pizza A Johnnys sweep the kitchen.. So I had a bite of that, sure was good ! And I had a piece of ham. Then I carried my piggy self to bed.Blood sugar this morning was 126 not as bad as I had anticipated. Maybe I should go back to the 1000 mg of Metforman ?? I have not really given 500 a chance though. Just making myself crazy trying to get this all straight ! So Dan and Wynne have to get off early this morning We woke them at 6 and they left about 10 the dogs did not fight this morning that was good Trixie was stiff and sore from yesterday . So for breakfast Mother thought she had thawed some bacon... nope it was sausage and Larry went out and got kolaches my favorite. So I cut up a cantelope and everyone had a little breakfast. Before lunch my blood sugar was 117 had a walk got Alex and had a kolache for lunch. Now I mean to tell you I felt like crap took a nap about 2 and felt better after that we had grilled chicken and a big salad for supper Blood sugar after lunch was 105 and it was 100 before supper no snacks  117 at bedtime had 3 of those dark chocolate nuggets w/ almonds. They are very good ... Maybe to good ? So I am all caught up things are calming down now. All the sheets and bedding washed today and all the beds remade. Carpet to clean tomorrow.  And I get to baby sit Trini will be here in the morning for a little while. So tune in again soon to listen to me whine !
