So this weekend was a little bit insane on the scale of insanity, that of which I just created. Not bad insane, just a lot of running around. As some of you may or may not know, practically my entire family is born in the month of October. My brother, sister, brother-in-law, cousin, Dad, my old dog and of course me, are all born in this spectacular month. Everyone thinks that's really cool. I do not.
Ok maybe I skipped this lesson in kindergarten, but sharing my birthday with everyone else is not as exciting as it sounds. (Ok maybe I don't like to share my birthday but I do share my....nope...um...I have to have shared something in these almost 19 years....) I never get to blow out a cake by myself. (And yes, I AM allowed to eat cake. So don't ask me if I should be having it) When everyone sings "Happy Birthday," it's usually a mish-mosh of five different names. I never get my exact amount of birthday candles and never get to choose a cake. (It can't be gender specific) And I'm sure there are other non-perks for my birthday.
So you know what I get? I get a diabeticversary. Yeah, say that three times. I celebrate the day I got diabetes. Some people amy think it's strange, and well, it is. It's not that I'm jumping for joy at the very thought of having it. It's that it changed me, for better and for worse. And I think if my birth get's it's own holiday, so should my diabetes. Really, being a diabetic has made me so much more thankful for everyday things and taught me not to sweat the small stuff (Like having to share my birthday, I don't mind it that much anymore). Last year I celebrated with low-sugar cupcakes. They also had little pancreases drawn on them. 'Cause mine don't work. Picture may come later. So look out for that post next year. BE EXCITED!
Also note to the wise: I swear if any one gets diabetes on the same day as my diabeticversary, I will crush you into small little pieces..... I mean graciously share my low-sugar cupcakes with you.
Until next time... Peace, Love & God Bless
