<br />
Thank you to everyone who supported our family walk team through the purchase of one (or more) delicious butter braids! We sold 70 braids and made $350 for Kaci's Krushers!! I feel so blessed that I found a small business with such a great product that was willing to work with us (for the 2nd year in a row) as a small family team. Obviously- we can not sell as many Butter Braids as a school, cheer or football team- but Meaghen was still willing to work with us and I am very grateful! Once you have enjoyed your delicious Butter Braid....and wish you had ordered more... give me a call!( I ordered a few EXTRA!)<br />

I also want to thank everyone who ordered from Mixed Bags. This was the smallest fundraiser to date and only brought us $45 - but we are not complaining. Every penny counts and we count every penny!<br />

Schwans Home Delivery was another very successful fundraiser this year! It lasted just over a month and brought our team $200! A big thank you to Julia and Aunt Berber for spreading the word at their school and getting several of the teachers in on this big event. Julia even organized one delivery day and time for all of the teachers at their school. This was the first year we had worked together with Schwans....but it will not be the last!<br />

.....and last but not least....I have to send out a big thank you to my beautiful neighbor, Beth Irwin! She hand made Boo- Boo bunnies and sold them individually and in groups to neighbors, co-workers and businesses and donated ALL of the profits to Kaci's Krushers. Her amazing product and the gift of her time- rasied $240 for our team! God broke the mold when he made Beth. We love you so much!<br />

Kaci sugars have been a bit whacky (to say the least) this last month or so. Mostly "HIGH" with a few "in range" readings sprinkled it. Ever since Halloween... We-(well, mostly me) fears the low so bad - that we started correcting before she was truly even "low" ( below 70) </div>
<div>
I know that this has affected many of her readings.... </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7010">
However, after a few weeks of high readings... I had to get my ass in check and chill myself the "F" out! I was beginning to freak Kaci out- and that is "no bueno" - because until there is a cure, this Diabetes shit is forever.... And she can not live in fear of her own body! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7012">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7013">
So--- we stopped treating lows before they happened and sugars started adjusting up on their own.... But continued to adjust WAY UP! There was no denying we needed to up her Lantus ( long acting insulin) -- but this always scares the shit out of me for several days.... Afraid that the increase will be too much, therefore creating the lows, that really scare the shit out of me! Damnit! Diabetes! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7014">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7015">
Since the increase in Lantus- her readings have been better, but still not great. I dread the doctor visit in June. I fear her A1C will have dramatically increased- and even though I know in my heart of hearts- we have done the best we can- with our testing, with our carb calculations, with our insulin ratios and night checks... I also know MY emotions and fears have screwed more than a few readings up. -- And as a parent, how frustrating is it to do the best you can, with what you've got, where you are... And still sometimes do it wrong!? Well, if you are a parent.... You know that sometimes happens, but it still sucks ass--- and the guilt is still there. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7016">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7017">
Today- numbers were mostly good. Only one true "low" reading- but a wonky CGM that is just as frustrating. Arrows pointing up, then down within minutes- shutting off, then asking for additional blood sugar checks. Also, add in the fact that Kaci gas been running HIGH so often that "in range" numbers are giving her the effects of a low- shaky legs, dizziness, light headed! She feels like she needs to have sugar, but can't! Hey, have I mentioned that Diabetes sucks! </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7018">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7019">
So- the moral of this post- is sometimes you just need to type out your feelings- and then you feel a little bit better- WELL...maybe after a nap.....</div>

Last flag football practice was tonight. Tournament is on Saturday. Bailey and the Titans had a 4-2 season--- and if they win their 4:00 game this weekend, they go on to the Super Bowl at 5. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7694">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7693">
I am so proud of Bailey this season. He has grown a lot and shown a lot of improvement. He has made some really great passes and has been a really good quarterback for the team. I love flag football! What I am not sure I love is "tackle" football! Oh. Dear. Lord. No. </div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7696">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7692">
He has chosen to sign up to be on the 7th grade middle school team. I have always told him he could play flag until middle school- THEN- he could play tackle, because 7th grade always seemed so far away.... Um...,, but here we are....</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7676">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7691">
I am not worried that he won't get playtime on the field- or that he may not make A Team. I'm not worried if they win or lose, or if he warms the bench more than others.</div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7690">
<br /></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1464197629513_7685">
I am worried that he will get hurt. End of story! Please pray with me for a season filled with zero injuries and lots of self esteem boosting moments from his coaches, his teammates and even his crazy worrying mom! <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">For the last 3 years JDRF has sold a beautiful Christmas ornament to help raise money for their AMAZING organization! We always place them front and center on our large tree and they are often the first thing you see when you walk in our front door! I just love them. Each of them was designed by a child with Type 1 Diabetes....makes them even more special, don't you think? </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">Usually...shortly after the One Walk- we start receiving emails with information on the "Walk Awards" date and location, as well as information on how to order this year's ornament. As of last week....I had not received information on either. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">With only a short time until Christmas...I feared that there was not going to be an ornament offered this year. My fear was correct. I left a message on the JDRF Austin Chapter Facebook page asking about it and was told....NO, boo hoo hoo....There will not be an ornament this year. I was, however, told to be on the lookout for a special package that would be arriving soon! </span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I have been looking online for weeks now at shirts very similar to this- in hopes of ordering one for Kaci. Thankfully- I had not ordered one yet. I LOVE THIS! Thank you, JDRF Austin!!</span></div>

<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">I can't lie and say I am not terribly disappointed about the ornaments. I have looked online...hoping to find something that I can purchase to remember this year by....something that donates to a JDRF Chapter.....any chapter....or any Diabetes Organization. So far, I have been unsuccessful. When I google ...JDRF Ornament or Diabetes Ornament.....I get a few leads, but they have ended up being pretty "cheesy" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: blue; font-size: large;">So for now- I will sit back and enjoy the ornaments I have and cross my fingers for next year!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I just realized today that I still have not posted about the JDRF One Walk that we were a part of back on November 1st. Not that anyone has been anxiously awaiting this post....It is highly unlikely that anyone even missed the fact that this blog entry was not made. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">However, next year when I am wondering how much money we raised at the 2015 One Walk...I will likely come to this blog to check past entries to find that answer! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So....here is goes.... </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">That is AMAZING! - and dare I say the MOST money we have raised to date in one event! (and that includes 7 years of JDRF walk events and 2 Ford Race Car Design Contests) We could not be more thankful and proud of our family and friend for making this possible. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">A big shout out to Beth Irwin- for staring the "Pay It Forward" program in our neighborhood! This is the second year we have sold World's Finest Chocolate bars to our friends and family, but this year Beth really helped us "Pump Up" our sales. She came up with an amazing marketing idea and kicked off our fundraising with a very generous donation and an awesome plan. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is what she did.....</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She bought around 25 candy bars from Kaci- but did not keep them for herself. Instead, she asked for Kaci to deliver them to specific neighbors along with a special slip of paper which read:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">" HI! I am your neighbor in SV! I want to help Kaci in her effort to raise lots of money to help find a cure for Juvenile Diabetes but I just don't need all this chocolate so I'm paying it forward! You can take this chocolate to enjoy and pay some more forward to a specific neighbor(s) in our neighborhood as Kaci circles the block to deliver. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>HOW MANY NEIGHBORS WOULD YOU LIKE TO PAY IT FORWARD TO? </strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>$5 PER BUNDLE OF 3 CHOCOLATE BARS</strong> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you need more chocolates or wish to make an additional tax deductible contribution to JDRF, please contact your wonderful JDRF reps, Kaci and Andrea Borchgardt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>CHECKS SHOULD BE MADE OUT TO JUVENILE DIABETES REASEARCH FOUNDATION!</strong></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kaci circled the block <strong>MANY TIMES</strong>! <strong>This awesome idea raised $300 for our walk team!</strong> Thank you SV Family- and to all our other chocolate loving family and friends!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This year we also found another organization that was willing to help out a small family fundraising team, Butter Braids. If you have never had one before....don't worry....just message me and we will let you know when we are selling them again this year. You do not want to miss out. To learn more about these delicious pastries, click on the link below and prepare to drool! So good! However, they can only be ordered through fundraisers.....so hit us up this year to stock your freezer full! Quick, easy and so delicious. We eat them for breakfast as well as an after dinner dessert! Thank you to all our Butter Braid eating family and friends!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><strong>This fundraiser pulled in about $240 for the team!</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The biggest fundraiser for our team this year was our team t-shirt. We are so thankful to everyone who bought a shirt - it is a visual display of love and support every time we see our friends and family wearing them. You don't even have to walk with us in order to get one of these shirts and this years design just might be my favorite! <strong>This fundraising venture raised $385 for our team!</strong></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">As happy as we are to be able to watch our fundraising meter grow and grOW and<strong> GROW</strong>! We are even more proud when we can look back on walk event pictures every year and see that our team of participants grows and grOWS and <strong>GROWS</strong> every year! The amount of money we raise each year means so much - but the most important thing to our family is having people with us on walk day showing love and support for Kaci- and that is <strong>ABSOLUTELY FREE! </strong>With that being said- I will not list names...but you all know who you are and we are so thankful to you! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have sat down at this computer many, many times since the night of October 31st to write about the 911 call that had to be made on Kaci's behalf that night - and I am still unable to write about it. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">While she has bounced back with little to no issues (other than a super nagging mom - like, even worse than I was before)....I am still struggling with the memories of that night. The "what if's" are the worst...but a sweet friend sent me these words and I have them saved on my phone to look back at when I start the "what if" game in my mind every now and then.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I thank God everyday for the "outcome that was" I thank God for my family that was here almost before the ambulance, for the neighbors that came into our house and prayed for Kaci at 2:30 in the morning and still made it to the walk the next morning on limited and interrupted sleep! - and I thank God that Clint was here to help me through this and make that 911 call. I thank God for my steady hands that enabled me to give Kaci her emergency shot without breaking off the needle as I drew up the glucagon. I am thankful for Kaci's friend, Savannah, who was sleeping over to attend the walk with us the next day. She was a good friend to Kaci on this night and continues to be a good friend. I am also thankful that Bailey is a heavy sleeper and slept through the whole event.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;">So proud of my Golden Spark! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">She made competition team.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She has been fighting a terrible stuffy nose and cough all week. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I assume it is allergies- but not sure! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">BUT- as usual...nothing stops her....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not even her crazy blood sugar last night. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She went to bed at 9:30- but coughed until well after 10:30</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">- Just as she was starting to settle down after some cough syrup...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">her low alarm sounded around 11:20.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> You will see on her CGM graph that her sugar went all the way down to 40~ SCARY! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">After about 30 minutes....we got it back up to a safe sleeping number only to be awoken again around 1:00 with another low reading. More juice, more missed sleep and the alarm awoke us again at 5:30 to get ready for tryouts at 7. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This girl was tired. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">This girl was determined.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I am so proud of THIS GIRL~</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">One of our favorite things to do as a family.....</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">carve, paint and decorate our pumpkins. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Kind of sad that the kids are so big now ...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">they don't really need our help anymore. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clint and I made sure we got to decorate our own pumpkins too! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Clint decided to go the Mr. Potato Head route...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It turned out pretty cute!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bailey used the lumps and bumps on his pumpkin to his advantage. He painted the sunken part black for two eyes and used the big bump for his nose.</span></div>

While the amount of money that we raise each year means so much to us.... There is another way that you can show us your support and love and it is ABSOLUTELY FREE!! It is the MOST IMPORTANT way- Please mark your calendars and plan to JOIN us at the walk on Sunday, November 1st at the Tony Burger Center- 3200 Jones Road Austin, Texas 78745. Check in is 8:30 and the walk starts at 10. The walk is absolutely FREE! Free food, drinks, music, bounce houses, carnival games, prizes, and MORE!! </div>

This is our 7th year to participate- and while they are closer to a cure everyday- and continue to improve devices, monitoring and dealing with this disease...there is still NOT a CURE!!! However, the SUPPORT and LOVE we feel by those who CHOOSE to walk with us each year, blesses us on the day of the walk and throughout the entire year! </div>

If you have not made it to one of Kaci's walks to support her--- please consider making it this year. Diabetes can often make those who are affected feel different and alone.... They must endure things that others don't often see or truly ever understand. This is Kaci's day to SHINE- and it would mean so much to have our biggest team yet!</div>

<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">I am so proud of Kaci! She worked very hard last year to earn the title of "Company Leader" for the Golden Sparks dance team for the 2015-2016 school year.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">They practice 3-4 times a week (both before and after school) for a total of about 12-15 hours a week. It is like a part time job! They perform Tuesday nights at all of the 7th and 8th grade home games and will perform during basketball season as well. Kaci is getting excited about their upcoming per-rally performance as well. The mixture of dance and diabetes has been a challenge this year. More often than not- all of the excercise is causing MAJOR spikes in her blood sugar. I am having difficulty with it. Fortunately, Kaci has learned to "roll with it" and deal with moments and take things one day at a time. I am trying to learn from her. I know that diabetes is a moving target....I just sometimes forget.</span></div>

Ahhh...........I have gotten into such a bad habit of not posting. Sometimes I get so busy living....that I guess I forget to re-live and document things here on my blog. I am going to try and be better about it. If for no one else -but myself! It is lots of fun to scroll through past years and read previous posts with a hot cup of coffee in the morning....or late at night when I can't sleep!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So....I can't go back and fill in all the gaps, so let's just start with the first day of school</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hard to believe that both of my kiddos are now in Middle School. Bailey in the 6th grade and Kaci in the 8th grade. I really don't know where the time has gone. I guess time flies when you are having fun, right?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are 5 weeks into school and everyone has gotten into the new routine and schedule. Dance keeps Kaci busy 90% of the time! (well, that might be a little bit of an exaggeration!) - but it does seem like the practices and performances are much more time and energy consuming than they were last year. </div>

Bailey is enjoying having some "morning time" to chill and hang out before school starts at 8:55. He is also enjoying getting to sleep in just a little bit later in the mornings. I asked him yesterday on the way to school if he liked elementary school or middle school better. Without hesitation he said, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
"MIDDLE SCHOOL!" I am so thankful that they are both enjoying the school year. </div>
