Bad set change

Today we changed pump set. So we got it all ready - which probably took like 7 minutes - then we put it on. And it looked like it was on wrong. So we had to pull it off and try a new one and pick out a new spot to put it. Then that one hurt, like really bad at first. When we bolused for dinner, I thought it probably went in like it usually does, but it turns out it didn't. I thought it buzzed! So we did the bolus again and I am pretty sure it worked.

No homework

We haven't had homework at school since thursday last week. On Friday, we usually don't have homework because of the weekend. On Monday we didn't have homework. Yesterday we went on a fieldtrip to see a play so it was like we didn't have school for half the day. Then I finished all my homework in school because it wasn't a lot. I hope we don't have homework tomorrow!

About 10 minutes before lunch I felt like my blood sugar was low, so I tested. I was 41. Before dinner I was 61 (I think). Why was I so low today?

Today

When my dad woke me up this morning I did not want to get up. The rest of the day I was tired and I had a little headache.

In the afternoon I felt like it was morning and we hadn't eatten lunch yet, but we did. It was just the sky.It looked like  ho it should be in the morning so I got confused. In computer class my wrist got really sore. I don't know why. I think it's because I'm used to typing on my laptop, not a real keyboard.

I lerned how to finger-knit. If you know what a Knitting Jenny is, finger-knitting is kind of like that, but smaller. It's addicting!

Wednesday

On Sunday night we had a band concert, and we will have another one at our school. I know I haven't blogged for a while but I don't know what to write.

Wait, I'll tell you about toontown (read my mom's version of toontown on her blog). Toontown is where you can talk with your friends, and if your bored or don't know what to do you can work on your toontask(s). There are eveil robots called cogs. You defeat them sometimes for a toontask or you can use the gag you're working on and get a higher level gag. You have a laff meter (yes, that IS how you spell it on toontown) too. If you defeat cogs for a long time without going back to the playground you will lose a lot of laff points or even get sad.

Spelling Bee

Today was the spelling bee at school. It wsn't justt fifth grade, it was fourth fifth and sixth grade. I didn't win, a girl in my class did. I got out for... Starch, s-t-a-r-t-c-h, starch. There was a fourth grader that was in till the seven round and a sixth grader that got out in the first round. Last year I got out for... Aspirin, a-s-p-r-i-n, aspirin. At the end of the spelling bee I listened to the championship words (8th grade level) thinking Wow these words are pretty easy. They were the kind of words you read in a book and just remember, words that seem long and hard but are easy when you think about it.

Yesterday was band-day

I just called this post that because well yesterday was band-day and I didn't know what to call it.

Yesterday was band-day of course. Band-day is when we practise our band and I play clarinet, so I practiced all day. In the morning we could have snacks ( snacks that they gave us, like 100 calorie packs ). I had a cheese-itz pack. I thought it was just cheese-itz but it turned out to be a party pack thing. I looked on the back, 14 carbs. When my dad came for lunch, I told him that I had it and he told my mom that I had it and that he thought it was more like 20 carbs. After school I told him the packet said 14.

Just another day

Another thing you should know is that I get allergy shots. I wanted to get them because I'm allergic to cats and I have 2.

Well when I got my allergy shot today 1 didn't seem to hurt. Atleast that's what I thought at first. Then it really hurt.

On Saturday we took my cat to the vet because she would like throw up once and not eat for the rest of the day. We switched her food and that seemed to help. I mean how would you feel if you had the same food for 7years. You would get bored of it. Well that's how she felt. The vet thought she was fine. She seemed better after we switched her food.

On Sunday I had a playdate with my friend Sara. We went shopping. We dropped her mom off at the grocery store and we went shopping ( we had to take them to the grocery store because they don't have a car ).

Friday

Today, a good thing happened and a bad thing happened.

First, I'm in  the school spelling bee! I really wanted to be in the spelling bee. Last year my teacher just chose 5 people. Then she didn't give us the words to study! This year we had spelling bees in our class to find the best people and we should get the words.

Second, a bad thing happened. A boy named Connor that always plays jumprope with us got hurt. He ran through the jumprope when it was going the wrong way. You can still go through a jumprope when it's going the wrong way, you just have to jump over it. He jumped at the wrong ttime and hit his head on the ground. He went to the nurse and then he went to the hospital. The good news is that he came back to school. He got it super glued ( which is like stitches ).

Another day

If you're wondering why I didn't post lastnight, it's because of my band practice. I've played the clarinet for almost like 1 1/2 years. When I found out my friend Sarah was going to play the clarinet too, I was so excited to go to band practice.

Now I'll talk about my cats. I have 2 cats. Ok I'll tell you the story of how we our the cats. Well we got Scrappy because our other cat died and we just had to find another cat. Scrappy ( who was first named Snippy ) was the only cat who was so mello and happy was the cat we picked out. My mom found Scuffy outside her office building with oily paws and a big scratch down his nose. Her friend took him home and washed him up and then we took him home.

Crazy Numbers Day

Well every morning I go down to the nurses office to test my blood sugar.T Today of course I tested my blood sugar at the same time. So when I tested my blood sugar it was 562. Ok that cannot be right. So I tested again and I was 591. Now I was freaking out. So we went home and changed my site ( we were gonna change my site later anyway ). We tested again while we were at ome and I was 454. We also did give a shot of 2 units in case the site wasn't working.

So then I went back to school about 15 minutes before lunch. Then I went to the nurses office to test and I was 394. Then I went back to test before gym and I was 425, huh, I went up. So then I went back to test my blood sugar in the middle of gym and I think it was 359, ok so now it goes down. Then my took me home after school and tried and tried to test my blood sugar but it wouldn't poke me. Then we swiched lancets and then I hardly even even felt it but it gushed blood. Ok no ketones and 154.

By the way, when I was in the nurses office waiting for my dad to pick me up to go home, there was a little boy in there. He asked who my mom was and I told him. He said that he knew where my mom's classroom was. I was like what? I told him that my mom wasn't a teacher. Then I said oh yeah that's my aunt!
