Its Been Awhile

I know I haven't updated this in awhile, so here I go....I have been sleeping better, but I think it is because I am SO tired that I can't really hear anything. The good news is that Mike has agreed to go in for a sleep consult. He actually goes in tomorrow morning. I think it will help him get better sleep. He has been coming home from work so exhausted.

As for my Gestational Diabetes, I now give myself night insulin shots. It actually does not hurt that bad. Poking my finger hurts more than giving myself a shot in the belly. I have been on it for a week and I think it has been helping with my fasting test. I go in again this afternoon so hopefully they will not change anything.

Mike and I went to New Ulm, MN last weekend for the Mixes MN State Bowling tourney. We went last year with our friends the Larson's and we went with them again this year. The boys got to spend the night at Papa and Grandma's house Sat night and we didn't pick them up until Sunday evening. Lisa works for the MN Vikings so she had tickets to the MN Twins game for Sat afternoon so after we dropped off the boys we picked them up at their house in Rogers and headed for the Dome. We were all pretty excited to watch the Twins, and she even had a parking pass so we could park right in the Metrodome parking lot! Once we got in, the Larson's went to get a bite to eat and we told them we were going to find our seats. Mike and I walk down to our isle and there was a man sitting in our seats. We told him that those were our seats and he had to double check his tickets. Mike took his out too and we actually had the same seats! Than he asked if we got them from the Vikings and we told him that our friend works for the Vikings and she got them and will be here in a little bit. Than I started to look at my ticket....Well, I noticed the time first. It said 7:30pm. The game that we were at started at 1:05pm. Than I saw the date! We had the tickets for Friday nights game! Mike and I and the other guy started laughing and we were all surprised we got in! We walked back up and waited for Kris and Lisa. We showed them the tickets and we all started laughing. We decided to stay and find different seats in a different section. I still can't believe we didn't get caught! There was plenty of opportunity for the people who worked for the Dome to notice our tickets. Even as we were checking in, Mike had said that the girls ticket scanner beeped differently and she had to press a button to make it stop. Any way, after awhile Mike was getting antsy (because Bev reminded him that there was a Casino, Jackpot Junction, that was close to New Ulm). So we headed out on the road. We stopped at our hotel first and checked in and headed out to the Casino. We didn't get back to the hotel until about 11:00pm. Our first bowling match was at 9am the next morning so we figured we would get enough sleep. Little did we know that the bed was uncomfy and the pillows sucked! I normally bring our pillows from home, but this time I forgot them. So, we actually did not get the best of sleep. After we had breakfast we headed to the bowling alley. Mike had a rough start, but I actually bowled way past my average. My first game I think had a 166 and the 2nd game I think I bowled a 172. But my luck was about to change. Towards the end of the 2nd game I was starting to get soar in my hip area. I knew the 3rd game would be bad, and it was. I think I ended up bowling a 113. We didn't bowl again until 2:45pm so we went out to Applebee's for lunch. After that we headed back to the bowling alley. Mike did a much better job bowling in the second match. I did OK, but I was still hurting from the the morning game. I can't remember the scores of the afternoon match but we did OK. We will probably do it again next year since it will be in Arden Hills at Flaherty's. Sorry no pics. I didn't bring my camera.
