Man have I been burning it at all ends lately or what? One full-time job as a car wash district manager, one part-time job as a business instructor two nights per week, and working security for Texas Tech football games and various concerts. Then it goes without saying that I have a beautiful wife that needs time with her husband, a perfect little boy, and of course Emma. Emma's a job all herself. Every day I get up and go wake up my beautiful little boy from his slumber and make his breakfast. While he eats breakfast I set out his clothes for the day, pack his lunch, and gather up his school binder and set them by the door. Once that's done, I go and dress myself and complete any grooming tasks I may have neglected the night before. Once I am ready and dressed, it's time to get Bren to brush his teeth and then fix his hair. With any luck, we have a few minutes left to just sit and watch Spongebob together. In a few more days, there will also be soccer practice 2-3 times per week and games on Saturdays. (I gave up coaching, but that's another story).
Hmmmmm, what have I missed? Oh yeah, that whole diabetes thing. Of all the things I have to do in the morning testing my blood sugar just hasn't been a priority. Diabetes just hasn't been a priority. It's there. I know it. But it has taken the proverbial back seat to all the other things going on in my life right now. Strangely enough, while I haven't given it a whole lot of thought, it's constantly at the front of my mind. Does that make sense? With the prospect of my car washes selling soon, I will have to enter the job market for the first time in 8 years. The difference now as opposed to 8 years ago is that I cannot just take any job at any pay with any benefits package anymore. It has to be a relatively high-paying job with benefits that begin at the latest after 30 days of employment.
Hopefully returning to the blog will get my mind right about diabetes again. Very soon.

Life can be daunting. and overwhelming and never ending. I wrote a blog about my husband and how little he seems to care about whats going on right now. I think it's sweet that you do so much in morning. I hope you get back on top of diabetes care, because it's important to be on top of that. and hopefully the blog will help. Good luck entering the job hunt, that SUCKS! expecially like you said, it can't be just any whatever kind of job. what does Amy do? Does she work out of the home?

Know the feeling, lemme tell ya. But even as crazy as my life has been this summer and especially, I got my best A1c yet. -shrug- Not really sure how that happened.
ReplyDeleteBut tons of luck to your job hunt, I'm in the middle of that right now too. Though my fiancee is getting a promotion by the end of the month that will give him a nearly unbeatable medical package. So we're not as worried as we were.
Any oh yeah... ;) I really am engaged. And if you want an invitation/announcement (when we make them that is) I'd love to send you one. Just email me at jnpedersen2@gmail.com .
So, good luck with it all, maybe I'll make a solid attempt to jump back into the world of actually blogging too.
