The Truth Revealed

OK I have to say, that was really fun! Everyone seemed to have a different guess, but only one was right! The only false statement in that group was...

4. My husband just got a raise.

Congratulations, Anna. And here's the explanations for the rest of them.

1. I have a kitchen again. Yes it is true! My newly built cabinets were installed, along with counters, sink, and dishwasher....ahhhhh happiness. There is still some tiny finish work to be done, but it's really just cosmetic.
2. I was teetering on the edge of a coma this last week with blood sugars near 400. Yah, that was fun. There were 12-18 hours of being REALLY nauseas and thinking I was getting the flu, watching my sugars go higher and higher no matter how much insulin I took. I finally realized that the place where the pump's tubing is inserted into my body didn't really get inserted properly - the little cannula was bent right in half and not really stuck in me AT ALL! So I was getting no insulin delivery. Before all of that got resolved, it was pretty scary. I could barely stand up without the room spinning. I started getting short of breath and my heart was thumping for no reason at all. I had to call my Dad to come over and babysit me in case I really did slip into a coma.
3. We've got strep, yes we do, we've got strep, how 'bout YOU? I got the call that my oldest was in the nurses office with a sore throat and fever RIGHT in the middle of my blood sugar crisis. He was pretty sick over the weekend, but all better now.
4. My husband just got a raise. Nope.
5. I am needing professional help for my dangerous addiction to Cheetos. Really, I've been sucking them down like crazy right now. If you see me with a smear of orange powder across a cheek, mystery solved.
6. Five more days until my best friend arrives from North Carolina. Weeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!
7. I have a big dent in my butt. I can thank the insulin injections for this one too. Grrrr. Imagine taking a soup spoon out of your drawer and pressing it into play-dough. That would be what the top of my bootie looks like on one side. And it seemed to appear out of nowhere. I asked the doctor about it, and he explained that it's a fluke thing that sometimes happens when you have to take a lot of shots. Sometimes the fat will harden, and you will get a lump. Other times, the opposite happens and the fat will literally dissolve away and the skin draws back due to the sudden empty space there. Hence the dented look. (Look out, now I'm going to get an onslaught of people making remarks about wanting their fat to suddenly "dissolve away." Trust me, it ain't pretty.)
8. I just mailed off my 103rd soft sword this year. Yep I did! And the holiday craziness is just beginning!!!
9. Today I paid $4.99 for five granola bars. These would be a ridiculous organic kind that Cooper can have. The things a mother's love will drive me to do, I tell ya....
10. There are termites tunneling into my garage. Indeed, these little stinkers are resourceful and relentless! They were coming up between the slabs of the driveway (no wood for several feet in any direction) and creeping across the concrete towards the walls. Unbelieveable. And gross. Professional is coming in 2 weeks.

Thanks for playing!
