My friend wanted to start a duct tape shop. No, we don't make duct tape. We make things out of duct tape. I made myself a bow. Oh, and if something you read to tell you how to make something out of duct tape tells you to use a piece of duct tape, they mean put two together. Other wise it really doesn't work. Yes, I did think you weren't supposed to. </div>Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-2602570567152664742012-01-07T14:45:00.000-08:002012-01-07T14:45:34.624-08:00New Year<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> Sorry I haven't posted for a while but happy new year!

On Fridays I have art class in school and this week we learned how to draw a building. It may sound simple but the way we learned how to draw them they look almost 3D. It's really cool. It may sound hard now but it's actually kind of easy, just a lot of easy work. I started a picture at home and so far I have 7 buildings in it.</div>Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-40030973213435270342011-12-18T07:43:00.000-08:002011-12-18T07:43:53.642-08:00Christmas show and Bad set<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> I was in a Christmas show for the school.

Then, yesterday when we changed my set and it really stung. Then I pulled it off and it came right off like it didn't even stick. Then it gushed blood.

I got an IV with I think saline and and a medicine to calm my belly down so I wouldn't keep throwing up. When I had to go to the bathroom they had to unhook all of my wires exept my IV.

<br />
Last week my dad went to Orlando (Florida)<span style="color: black;">. I missed him, but my mom got to take me to school everyday. That means i wasn't late.<br />
<br />
Yesterday, I read a book about a girl that gets diabetes. The book showed a picture of her dinner, it was all vegetables and meat. How many carbs was in the whole dinner? 10.6 carbs, in the entire thing, and her mom wonders why she loses weight ( The story isn't true ) . <br />
<br />
I lost my 11th tooth last night. I was a molar, but that didn't mean it was hard to get out! my got out a piece of gause, grabbed hold of the tooth and pulled it out. It literally flew across the room! That wasn't my loosest tooth though. My loosest tooth was when I was just sitting there reading a book and my tooth just falls out! I ran over and went to my mom and she's like, what did you find on the floor? I said, it's my tooth! It was kinda funny.</span></div>Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-64282956879106264272011-04-25T16:15:00.000-07:002011-04-25T16:15:46.559-07:00Almost Summer<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Today I'm wearing shorts because it's so warm outside. It's like 80 degrees outside and I didn't have to wear a coat to school. <span style="background-color: #a64d79;">I'm probably gonna wear shorts and a graphic tee almost everyday of the summer.</span><span style="background-color: white;"> I wish it was gonna be warm like this everyday but my mom says it's going to cool down Thursday or Friday.</span><br />
<br />
Wanna know the highest my blood sugar has ever been? 591. Wanna know the lowest it's ever been? 28.<br />
<br />
Sometimes people say 'diabetes' like 'diabeetus'. Either they can't say it right or they're like my mom and just want to say it like that.<br />
<br />

I'm still kinda getting over a bad coughing cold. I missed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and we were taking ITBS tests. Well, now I'll have to make up the nine tests I missed. I only did four. My blood sugars were so high for some reason that I was on a +40% temp. basal. But after we changed my set and got insulin from a new bottle, I don't really need a temp. basal at all!</div>Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-3098963536133336522011-04-05T16:19:00.000-07:002011-04-05T16:19:40.396-07:00Blog in color<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">In school we started CogAT tests today.

I didn't know how my mom put pictures in her blog. but now I think I figured out how, and I'm going to make my blog in color!!! Well starting now.<span style="color: purple;"> Purple!

I think blue is my third favorite color! </span><span style="color: cyan;">OK, light blue! It's pretty, but I can barely it. </span><span style="color: red;">Red! I also like red, ok I like a lot of colors and knew the colors of the rainbow when I was 2.</span><span style="color: orange;"> Orange, ok I think it is more of a gold, and is also very bright.</span><span style="color: lime;"> Usually green isn't my favorite color, but this is pretty.</span><span style="color: yellow;"> Yellow, ok some just hurt my eyes, but I can't even seee yellow, so if I make a mistake it's just because I can't see. But then again, you won't be able to see either!!!</span><span style="color: black;"> Ok now, black again, something I can see, and it doesn't hurt my eyes.</span><br />

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!

I hope we don't have homework tomorrow!<br />

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. <br />

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.Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-27371096689416673962011-03-11T10:46:00.000-08:002011-03-11T10:46:22.259-08:00Spelling BeeToday 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.

At the end of the spelling bee I listened to the championship words (8th grade level) thinking<em> Wow these words are pretty easy. </em>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.Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-61110809029175876292011-03-09T15:05:00.000-08:002011-03-11T10:35:21.517-08:00Yesterday was band-dayI just called this post that because well yesterday was band-day and I didn't know what to call it.<br />
<br />
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.Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2354518155268746884.post-84921936354036750142011-03-07T16:08:00.000-08:002011-03-07T16:08:09.768-08:00Just another dayAnother 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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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 ).Catiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03717974208791731908noreply@blogger.com0
