Survived...

We all managed to survive the first post-diabetic work trip.  Thank goodness for cell phones, patience and two nights of sleep.

Hannah was NOT HAPPY about the work trip.  Clingy, weepy, whiny as I was trying to get out the door.  The trick with her is that she is good at turning on the drama.  What's for real? What's for show and influence?  Who knows...not me for certain....most days, anyway.  I was pretty giddy at the thought of not one but two consecutive nights of sleep.  Crazy hotel aside, sleep was delicious.

Once we got through the first day, things got a bit better.  And she did well with both Heather and Heidi helping with dinner and assisting with shots.  Once she knew I was on my way home, it was a pretty constant plea to just.get.home.as.fast.as.I.could.  But of course once I was here, she wanted to stay at Anna's house for a bit longer.  After my eyes rolled back into my head at the ridiculousness of her at times, I thanked my lucky stars for an hour of quiet, in my home, alone.  Something that has happened precious little in the last 6 weeks.

Tonight brings Anna and Hannah playing and giving Daisy a bath, so she (Daisy) is presentable for the parade.  Tomorrow, Cody's marching with the band and Hannah and Daisy are marching with 4H.  And then a day playdates, barbeques and new experiences.  Hannah is still pretty reticent to eat away from home.  Which is equally understood and exhausting.  Crossing fingers and toes for a good day.
