I've spent the last week trying to make up for the last couple. Jr. High camp kind of took it out of me. This week has kind of been a make up week for me. I did get the opportunity to do some really cool stuff this week. A1C camp would probably top that list. I wasn't really invited; I followed the food. My eyes were opened to the rigors of diabetes. I was seeing kids as young as six, poke themselves in the finger 5 times during the afternoon to check their blood sugars. Some kids there had had the disease since they were two. To see kids eating healthy during snack time, and watching them check the carbs in each of their snack items was something that I had never seen. Most of the kids were very concerned with my own diet. Pushy kids.
I was also blessed to get to hang out with some really cool people this week. Trish Greer ran the camp and did a great job. Trisha Martens also helped. Pam did a lot of the food stuff. I also met a Washburn nursing student named Jessica, who had an uncanny resemblance to Carrie Underwood. It was really tough to see camp end. Seriously, really tough.
Some Random thoughts...
I just got done watching "the Cowboys" a great John Wayne film. I cant help but think I was born 150 years too late.
I had a milk shake today. It was chocolate; however, there were little pockets of resistance that tasted like strawberry and vanilla. It was really annoying.
Day 5 at the Maddock household, still I can't seem to force my self to bring more than one day of clothes over at a time.
