I Won This Time! But They’ll Be Out For Revenge

I won this time

I Won This Time!

Fake winter has come and gone..

We had a couple of really cold days.

With freezing cold nights.

You think that would have killed the bugs.

But it didn’t.

We’re now back to Second Fall with lovely, warm weather.

And the bugs are still here.

Why didn’t they die in the cold?

I found an enormous fire ant hill on the patio.

The patio!

Don’t they know there’s a boundary line that they’re not supposed to cross?

I got out the Raid.

Hand to heart, I swear that those evil fire ants thumbed their evil fire ant noses at me and continued on their evil fire ant march through the toxic mist.

I had to spray them many, many times.

I won.

This time.

They’ll be out for revenge now.

I seriously can’t wait for the first hard frost.

Humblebragging – I Definitely Deserve It This Time!

Humblebragging

Humblebragging

Humblebragging!

Yeah, I’m humblebragging, but I won!

OK, I know, this is just a first-world problem.

But it’s more than that.

It’s a first-world, freakishly-small-woman problem.

The shopping carts at Winco are very deep.

Very, very deep.

They are so deep that sometimes I lose small items in the bottom of the cart.

I have to dive in head-first to get the stuff out.

At this store, you have to bag your own groceries.

If I’m wasting time fishing things out of the bottom of the cart, it’s going to slow down my bagging at the other end.

The people behind me get angry.

At least, I feel like they’re getting angry.

Today there was only one cashier.

And a very long line.

But I had loaded my items strategically into the cart so that I didn’t lose anything at the bottom.

Whew – I deserve some humblebragging this once!

Freakishly-Small-Woman 1, Winco Shopping Cart 0.

I Won – Find Out How I Accomplished This Amazing Feat!

I Won

I Won

I Won!

I won this round.

A diabetes mom is always prepared.

Type One Diabetes sucks.

It’s a 24/7/365 burden, both physically and mentally.

If you’re sick with another illness, the diabetes just gets more complicated.

The T1D Grown Son has recently had a shoulder surgery.

His blood sugars are all over the place.

He’s in pain from his surgery, and he’s exhausted from the diabetes.

So yeah, he’s cranky.

Really, really, really, cranky.

If it were anyone else, I might have told him off by now.

But I can’t because what if it’s a low blood sugar?

Low blood sugar is not an excuse to be a jerk.

Unless, of course, it’s a really, really, really low blood sugar.

There’s only one thing to do in a situation like this.

I gave him the Angry Mom Stinkeye.

He cowered in fear and apologized meekly.

Mom 1, Diabetes 0.

I won.
