This is my journey into the unknown . . . a wife and mother trying to find ways to help us live a life pleasing to God as we muddle through the JOYS (and exhaustion) of every-day life with two active boys living with diabetes.

New Blog/New Name

I have changed names of my blog.  Please go to "www.DiabetesDaze.blogspot.com" to see further posts.  People were having a difficult time finding the correct site.  If you google DiabetesDaze, it comes right up and is much easier to find.  I will be publishing a new post starting Monday, March 5, 2012.  Thanks for following my blog.  It's very encouraging!

What's In A Name

       "I want Rocco!"

       "I don't like Rocco!  I want his name to be Mr. Coffee."

       "That's a dumb name."

       "Now boys, be kind."

       "How about Herbert?"

       "I really like Branko, it means . . ."

       "Mom, we don't care what the name means.  We just don't want to be embarrassed by it."

       "I like Sentry."

       "No."

That's about what it sounded like around here when the question of names came up.  We loved all of your input, votes and suggestions.  We think you all should get puppies too, then all those cute names can be put to use.

But alas, we had to make a decision.  The back and forth banter of names was still popping around when suddenly, the name "REX" flashed through my head.

      "What about the name Rex?"  The room was silent for just a fleeting second and then . . .

      "I like it."

      "I like it too."

      "You do?"

     "Yeah, I do."

      "Me too."

      "Okay, Rex it is. Everybody happy?"

A simultaneous "Yeah!" sounded and all was calm again

               . . . . at least until . . . .


"What's his middle name gonna be?"
