Lest anyone think this blog is going to be all darkness, today we faced a new challenge, and had VICTORY.
With very little planning, we spent a chunk of the afternoon out with a friend from our previous province and her daughter. We being Miss N, our middle child, and her older brother. Older brother was done with being at the mall long before we left, but we managed our first afternoon really out and about, through afternoon snack time, up to supper.
Careful budgeting had Miss N enjoying a small snack from home, AND a beverage from Starbucks (shaken Tazo passion lemonade). A blood sugar check on the go later too.
THEN, as we were close to suppertime, and about 20 minutes from home, we decided on the fly to have supper out. My trusty son in the passenger seat manned the iPhone texting duties, and we arranged to meet my hubby and other daughter (who spent the afternoon at a birthday party) for supper. Sure, it was fast food, but it was a meal out as a family. We don't do that often, but it's obviously something we can *still do*.
That was a great accomplishment.
Even if she decided that the carbs in a drink wasn't worth it, and had water instead.
Edited to add - today, she's been on target with her sugars ALL DAY. Woo hoo!
