New Emotions

As a Momma your emotions and thoughts are all over the place normally (I won't bore you with the average number of thoughts a mother has in a minute, let alone an hour). In less than 365 days throw in the birth of baby #3, loss of a mother, hormones, and a lifetime diagnosis of diabetes for your child - BAR the DOOR and get out of the town, Momma is riding the CRAZY Train. As patient and normal as she tries to be, there is no denying. ......

For now, I'll focus mostly on the new thoughts and emotions related to diabetes in our family.
