  4. Start breakfast for the little ones at the same time as trying to wake up the older 3 kids.
  5. Once everyone is up and the little ones fed, I make my breakfast as I go to the office to pick up the laptop.
  6. Eat my breakfast as I see what is on our days agenda for school this morning.
  7. Tell the kids I’m off to the shower as they get ready for the day. Take my meds.
  8. Get done with my shower to see the kids are still chatting and aren’t ready to start school. Meanwhile my 4 year old is asking if he can play on the computer but I have to tell him no because we need to start school.
  9. Start my day of schooling, usually starting with my kindergartener and making my way to my 4 th grader.
  10. It’s lunch time, where did my morning go?

On my good days, this plans works like a charm. On bad days, I’ll be lucky to get 5 items done.

That was like me after breakfast today, I tested at 17.1 (308 mg/dl) and did a double take when my pump recommended a 7.25 unit correction. That is a lot of insulin just for a correction, but took it ... and ended up correcting again two hours later when I was still 13.5 (243 mg/dl). It wasn't a bad site, not sure what it was! At lunch I was 5.1 (92 mg/dl), after lunch I was 6.0 (108 mg/dl), and before dinner I was 3.1 (56 mg/dl), so I give up.

Anyway, what I do in the morning is:

1. Turn off my alarm.
