Attention whore

In my world D seems to be a bit of an attention whore.  Every time I go somewhere or try to accomplish something with out focusing on D it has to pop out it's head and demand "look at me!" 

I went to get my hair done and D took center stage, I took David to get pictures taken and D tried to mess up the fun.  I could go on and on. It's become kind of a joke.  I have come to expect a call from school when I go to Costco or try to meet a friend for coffee.  If I stay home (where I am more likely to be thinking about D) then all is well.  No pump problems, no weird BG numbers, no bolus questions, usually at home I get nothing.

Even my anniversary, my husband took me to a movie and I missed part of it standing in the lobby talking the gracious friend who was watching Bekah and David through a pump issue. 

This week took the cake.  D managed to not just annoy me with it's antics but it actually pissed me off a bit. 

I have a dear friend who is going through a really rough time. I went over to her house to try to help, or even just listen to what was going on and let her vent.  I just wanted to be there for my friend.  The school called 2xs during the time I was there.  I had to cut our visit short and go pick Bekah up from school.  The me before D would have been there most of the day helping with kids, laundry, running errands and wouldn't have left until I knew there was a hot meal waiting for her family.  Instead I could barely even concentrate on our conversation becuase I was worried about Bekah.  My friend understands but she shouldn't have to.  I am sick of everyone having to sacrifice because of this beast to manage disease! 

I know I am not alone in this, most of my readers deal with the same stuff.  I just needed a to vent.  I feel better now, thanks!
