The Lovers. This is the original that I colored with Paint By Numbers.
Hello everyone,
I hope that your all doing well. I am okay but have had problems with low blood sugar the past few days. I am checking my blood sugar often so that I am able to keep on top of it but twice now my sugar has dropped during the night.
It is so scary because I have no control and I will be in such a fog. Sometimes I will act drunk as a skunk, other times I can actually catch it before it happens.
My grandson Dante is almost 6. He will have his birthday tomorrow and he is just such a smart child. All of my grandkids are very smart.
I am not just saying that because he is my grandson. I do my share of bragging, that is a fact but this child knows exactly what to do if he sees my blood sugar dropping.
He will get my test kit and check my sugar. He will get me food or drink and he has even gone and got me help from his mom or dad or Jon and Nathan.
All of the kids know what to do and how to help me but Dante has grasped it and he wanted to learn so I taught him. He even knows how to put the needle tip onto my pen. How to turn the amount of insulin and inject me.
Don't worry. He knows never to give me insulin, only he can do it if I tell him and watch him.
He also has comprehended that I never need insulin for low blood sugar and he would have to break into my lock box to have access to it and Jonathan is the only other one to have a key.
I have all of my medication in a lock box. I would never forgive myself if the baby got into my meds and was harmed so a lock box it is.
I don't have a clue what to get him for his birthday. His birthday is so soon after Christmas. I am thinking that I would like to take him to the library and get him a card.
He wants to learn how to read and so I think that this is what I will do for him instead of a toy.
Also I found a small packet of Index cards and I think that I will do for him what I did for all of my kids.
He picks a word. It can be any word he chooses and he will write the word on a index card and put it in a special box. These will be his flash cards.
Every day we will add a new word to the card and he can look at them as often as he chooses.
By choosing to writing the word and looking at the word will be such a great learning tool.
They all want to learn and I will do my best to help them achieve their goals as best as I possibly can.
This little game really helped all of my kids learn to read.
The reason that I said that I am really beginning to hate computers is that I spent close to an hour on my blog earlier tonight and all was going fine until I tried to upload a video that I took of Oliver and the kids playing with him.
It froze up my computer and then it would not let me exit out. I ended up having to delete the entire blog when I went to update it. I was so frustrated.
Nathan even tried to help me and finally he gave up. So all the good things that I wrote will have to wait until my next post.
Miss Edna I shared one of Rosie's latest kits and tagged you in it on Facebook. I remembered that you wanted to have a look in her stores. I am too tired to go back and get the link so this way you can go straight to her stores.
Rosie also has sent me a couple of samples of the Tarot cards that she has done. I hope that you enjoy looking and let me know what you think.
I haven't decided which one that I like the best. I love the theme that she used and I love the idea of the animals but the jester is just too awesome as well.
She is also working on her other kits but said she will send another card in a day or two. It has been fun talking of colors and nature and animals... I really love that cat!!

I can't wait to see the finished product and which one she will choose to do next. So here they come....
The Fool... First card.
The Fool card #2
I have some cute pics of Oliver and Stormy. I need to get some of Foxy this week. She is feeling better so perhaps I can get some good shots.
I hate to end my blog so early, but since this is the second one I have done I am going to have to close without repeating all of my other topics but I have to make sure that my sugar logs are updated. I had a test kit in the bathroom and one in Karyn's car and one in my purse and obviously I misplaced one that I normally use and found it under a stack of mail I am going to have to manually go thru and get all of my readings from all 3 of them and since I have to take my log to the doctor with me I need to get that done and head to bed.
Enjoy your Friday and I will be back when I can...
Oh I just forgot something....
Paddington thank you for your prayers. I just wanted to ask if you will send me your email address. I would love to do a digital scrap page for you.
Oh and do you know that for as long as we met I don't know your name lol... To me you are Paddy lol and before I forget I wanted to tell you that yes I do have a nutritionist. I also go to classes.
I think that all this high and low blood sugars is because we are going thru the process of adjusting my insulin.
Good night (morning) everyone.. Take care BB
Hi Beth, I emailed you my deets. I would be honored to have a page of your art, thank you! The paint by number tarot cards are beautiful. I've always loved tarot card imagery, and the stories they tell. xo
ReplyDeleteI love your paint by number tarot cards are beautiful. And, I just love your friend's tarot cards and can't wait to see the rest of the deck. Yes, I did get your message regarding the kits. Thank you, and where did you find the paint by number tarot pages? I hope your sugar levels level off soon. I can imagine how difficult this is making things for you. What a great boy your Dante is. I think the books, words and cards will be an awesome gift for him. Can't wait to see the photos of the fur babies. You have a super day, and I'll call you later. Hugs, Edna B.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your fluctuating blood sugar. How fortunate you are to have relatives who can help you keep an eye on it! Love the tarot cards. It's the worst when Blogger decides to eat a blog post. (It's only happened to me once because I hit the wrong button on the blog template -- learned THAT lesson!) I always upload my vids to YouTube and embed them on the blog, rather than have Blogger host the vids.
