Everybody Makes Mistakes

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I can be a FREAK when it comes to DJ, diabetes and the combination of the two. As crazy as I can get, as perfect as I try to be, even I make some diabetes mistakes.

*Had to call DJ out of class in the 1st grade to give her insulin shot that she should have gotten at breakfast.
*Went to a friends house 30 minutes away, settled in for dinner and realized the insulin was still at home in the fridge.
*Waited until the last minute to buy insulin only to remember that Kaiser pharmacies close early and spending an hour on the phone with baby-daddy trying to get insulin from Walgreen's.
*Paid three times as much for one bottle of said insulin than I would for 90 days worth at Kaiser.
*Too much insulin coupled with not enough food.
*Forgetting to add insulin to DJ's pump before bedtime, causing the pump alarm to go off in the middle of the night. Incessantly.
*Detaching the empty pump from DJ's body and shoving it under the mattress to shut it up.
*Removing the pump from under the mattress and putting it in the kitchen drawer to finally silence it.
*Every time we go to sushi I forget to have DJ take insulin. Do you know how many carbs are in sushi?

This is just what I could think of on the spot. I'm sure there are so many more mistakes I've made on this diabetes journey. I feel better knowing I'm not the only one. Thankfully I've made friends with some other amazing women who have the same kinds of things. When I do something really stupid I just shoot a message to one of my fellow t1d moms and before I know it they have me laughing at myself.
