So glad y...I feel your pain, SISTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /><br />So glad you were able to swoop in and get back to your table. <br /><br />When Addy was first dx, there was a HUGE (and I don't mean in numbers) family of 4 occupying 2 tables beside us. Addy was on a strict carb "budget" of 45 for each meal. We had to make her choose between french fries or applesauce for her dinner and she was torn up because she wanted both. (Mind you, she was only 2)<br /><br />So this other HUGE family were eating as if they hadn't seen food in years -- one child was actually under the table eating scraps and using her fingers to scoop the applesauce into her mouth while sitting on the floor.<br /><br />I was seething mad. SO MAD that MY child had D that day....watching these ridiculous people feeding like farm animals. I kept wondering why THEY weren't sitting at a table trying to fit 45 carbs into a meal for a diabetic 2 year old.<br /><br />Anyway, you did great...and I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to hear some other Disney stories (and to see some pictures!!!)Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05977082081187891403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-73595752346332316302010-04-30T22:47:13.797-04:002010-04-30T22:47:13.797-04:00Reyna, so can relate here!

Thanks.<br /><br />I have felt like this on and off through the years...but after a full day of Disney...starving...craving those damn fried shrimp...I was a screaming lunatic in my head...wanting that guy to STOP SPOONING ALL THE SHRIMP ON HIS PLATE!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00895126112651188056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-30976433325126143682010-04-30T12:30:54.254-04:002010-04-30T12:30:54.254-04:00Oh girl.

So I take Liam through, count carbs while everyone else gets theirs, then I head back through to get mine, and by the time I'm back, he usually needs something else, or decided he doesn't like something we bolused for, so off I go again to hunt something else down.<br />Then everyone is ready to go when I actually start eating my (cold) food. Buffets are the worst.<br />And Disney SERIOUSLY needs to provide nutrition info. That was such a challenge. All guessing, all the time.<br />We should go together next time and I'll have your back in the buffet line. :)Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16615384441250315342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-45115370150355513312010-04-30T12:27:27.517-04:002010-04-30T12:27:27.517-04:00I sweat and have little ability to hear anything g...I sweat and have little ability to hear anything going on around me at these times. Counting, thinking, measuring, estimating, arranging - the whole deal. I have little clue what is going on around me and YOU ARE SO RIGHT - you get it all done, are ready to finally feed yourself and, seconds are requested! <br />Thanks for the relatable moment and for always giving me a chuckle with your story telling style!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-20146480860704123292010-04-30T12:23:38.815-04:002010-04-30T12:23:38.815-04:00I don't think that you are selfish at all for ...I don't think that you are selfish at all for saying that your needs are always put on the back burner and that it bothers you.<br /><br />I rarely get to sit down and eat a meal with my family, by the time I have checked Miss E and Lil Miss C's blood sugar, calculated carbs, given the girls their shots...and then probably headed back to the kitchen for seconds for somebody, my plate has been sitting at the table getting cold. I know how you feel Reyna, I have put most of my needs last since the first day that Miss E was diagnosed. <br /><br /><br />Most meals I start to eat when everyone else is just finishing! I think that what makes me sad is that I wish we could all just sit down and eat and not have to do math and nutrition analysis everytime we want a meal.<br /><br />I probably would have felt like having a food rage too at that buffet line :)conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18365385305270234889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-35411166990309324432010-04-30T11:33:46.601-04:002010-04-30T11:33:46.601-04:00I am thankful you used the word GINORMOUS. I have ...I am thankful you used the word GINORMOUS. I have been trying to convince my husband for years that that is a word. <br /><br />This was a LONG standing issue in my life. FOR YEARS! But as the kids get older it somehow has gotten easier. They show me their plate, and count it for me, and they are usually right. If they take more they say, "Mom, I took another serving of potatoes, half the size of my first batch." I don't know...but it will get better.<br /><br />But I want you to know...I HAVE BEEN THERE!! Oh my gosh! There have been times when I was starving and screaming in my head to move the line along. Hungry moms in stressful situations isn't a pretty picture!Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09752883120541646427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6177432865376147686.post-64737679195830568262010-04-30T07:16:07.586-04:002010-04-30T07:16:07.586-04:00Shoot...

I hate people with rude buffet manners.<br /><br />Also, I know they don't like it, but you need to call in support during food time. I told my hubby he needs to help. If nothing else... he could take the seconds shift and you could bolus while you chew :) <br /><br />It does get easier as they get older. I go with Justin through the line (when I am forced to go buffet style) but he atleast holds his own plate so I can get my food at the same time :)Lorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07192247387107228743noreply@blogger.com
