Blah, blah, blah, here she goes again, pissing and moaning about logging.


Back when the year was shiny and new, as opposed to snow-covered and grubby (and enough with the snow already, ok? I'm SICK of it. Sick.) I resolved to be more diligent about logging Olivia's blood sugars. And for a few weeks I was. And then I forgot for a couple of days. And then it was Thursday and I thought, well, I'll just start over on Monday. And I forgot again.


I've logged in fits and starts over the last 2 months, but mostly, I haven't logged at all. And now she has an endo appointment tomorrow and I'm not going to have that much information to give her and I'm pissed at myself.


I just don't know how to make myself log. I forget. And if I'm forgetting to log, how am I supposed to teach Olivia? I'm not setting a good example at all and they always tell you (who are they anyway?) that you should lead by example when it comes to your kids.


Right now, I'm not a very good example. And I'm dreading going to the endo tomorrow and telling her I only have a log from the last few days. I'm going to feel like a kid sent to the principal's office for a scolding. She won't scold - Olivia's endo is really nice - but I'll still feel bad about it.


Like I don't have enough guilt to cart around already. Now I can add this to the ever-growing pile.

Off subject but - were you able to get a scholarship for Olivia for camp this summer?


Amen.


Thanks, peej18. I appreciate the apology. Be well.


Your mother is wise. I apologize to you and anyone else I offended.
