Girls weekend

[mommyofocean]

Hey everyone well I am kind of freekin out! I am going to a friends cabin in invermere BC tomorrow and I am leaving the kids and the husband at home! We do this every year just for the weekend. Us ladies need a break from everything. I couldn't go last year because ocean was just diagnosed and we were all new to this. But this year I am not missing it. My husband ( Jay) is great with our children its just that he doesn't do the injection he has only done them like 3 times in the last year! So do see why I am worried!!! His mother was sick and dying of cancer so he wanted to spend all the time he could with her which is understandable but now it is time to move on and he needs to be a part of what I do for Ocean every day. I am just hoping he doesn't forget to feed her when it is time to eat!!! Aargh!! Well I am just worried! I never used to be because he is very protective of his kids and he is a great dad it's just he hasn't had to be alone for more than 1/2 day with Ocean and her diabetes! And I need this weekend to just relax and not to think about the big D! Which I probably with think about all the time!!!!!! Thanks I just needed to vent! I am so freaked out about it that I printed off a sheet with all the info for Jay like How much insulin and when to give it and how many carbs all day and when and I even took the time to make a list of carb food that we have in the house for him just to make it easier! He knows how to count her carb and stuff I am just paranoid!

ALL ok... GO have fun YOU have done a great job by printing out all the info for him.

Have fun Carolyn! I'm know you deserve a break, and once you see how well your husband steps up, it will make life easier at home too! Maybe you can meet "the girls" more often!

I'm jealous :D

Cell phone? I always feel better going away (which is usually like to the store - LOL!) when I know my DH can call.

When you said Girls Weekend I thought you were inviting US!:p I'll bring the blender!

Try and have a fantastic time!!! The reference sheet will be a lifesaver to your hubby (I know it was for mine), and I bet you that he will appreciate you even more after your return :rolleyes:. They will be fine!!!! Try not to call too too often - I know this always makes my hubby feel that I don't think he is capable... let him check in with you instead - maybe you can agree on a certain time of day to review everythng, unless there is an emergency of course.

Enjoy- you deserve it!!!!!!!

Thanks! At least I don't feel like I'm the only one that's like this. I so enjoyed my weekend before Ocean was diagnosed and I am hoping I will still enjoy it. I know my husband will be great but it is hard not to worry! What am I going to do when Ocean start kindergarten in september!!!! She also has a 1/2 day camp for a week next week. I am freekin out about that too! Well I hope you all have a great weekend too and I will let you know how we all did!!!

Carolyn - go and have fun. You will still worry but you'll be able to relax too. Plus you'll be proud of how your family handles it when your gone. I was so bad I'd pack snack bags and label each bag for carbs. I'm not so bad now that I know my husband will write things down. It's hard to let go but it'll be good for everyone. While your sipping your drink and laughing with your friends you can think of how happy we are for you (jealous, too)! : )

[Chase's mom]

Carolyn have a great time you deserve the time with your friends. Have a drink for us too. LOL:D :D

It's so hard to let go, but it's good for you and for your family, too! ;) (says me, who has a terrible time going off anywhere....)

They will be fine; he might not manage everything the way that you do, but Ocean will be OK and everything will get done. I like the suggestion of having a time to call and check in so that he doesn't feel like you are checking up on him - I think my DH feels that sometimes too.

Go have fun with your girlfriends, relax and let your hair down, and let them take care of you for a while! :)

Selketine, if you've got the blender, I'll bring the ice and cups.....:D
