Keep rolling on

If there is something I have learned in the pass 3 months, keep moving, keep rolling. Life is hard, and can push at you. But if your on one wheel and have good balance you can roll right over the big stuff in your way!

Hard Summer

Just a week after my last post stuff happen, and emotionally was very hard for me. Someone close to me made accusations that were very offensive. The accusations were contrary to my personality, and my believes, even now my accuser is playing the victim. When a plate falls and brakes you can apologize, you can try to glue it back together. The plate will never be the same again, and to think it will is foolish. At the start August we had a health scary with our 12 year old daughter. When you get to hospital emergency never even sit down, and are rushed by ambulance to the city you know things are not good. She now has Type 1 Diabetes a threatening disease. This has changed our family life forever. Living with T1D is a constant challenge. People with the disease must carefully balance insulin doses (either by injections multiple times a day or continuous infusion through a pump) with eating and other activities throughout the day and night. They must also measure their blood-glucose level by pricking their fingers for blood six or more times a day. Despite this constant attention, people with T1D still run the risk of dangerous high or low blood-glucose levels, both of which can be life threatening. People with T1D overcome these challenges on a daily basis. We are just past our first one month of living with this new monster(T1D). Starting school this year was hard. In a small town were no other kid has T1D there is lots of explaining to teacher, and other kids. We got a cell phone for our daughter so she can contact, which she dose several times a day. I find myself frustrated with people because they don't have a clue what we are dealing with. 95% of people that have Type 2 Diabetes with is handle my pills food and exercise. T1D is controlled by card counting (each and every meal) giving the right dose of insulin, and + and - exercise. As the parent I also now have the job as personal dietitian, doctor, therapist, and personal trainer. I struggle at time but I want to maker life as seamless as possible for by beautiful daughter.

what's next

In 2011 we were able to by 80 acres 45min for home back on crown land. Half the land is an old field, and other half jack pine. In May 2012 we started building our cabin. It's post and beam foundation, with pine beams holding up the loft. We had a friend do the foundation, and frame for us. After that the work started for us. All spring from may to june we had sandhill cranes that were in our field. We had our first night in the cabin with our kids 4 month later at the end of august. The cabin still need to lots of work, for the inside to be liveable. August my husband got the solar panels and suff in place. Got the stove in just in time mid of september. We worked ever weekend but but 3 for the start of summer tell now. I'm getting tried off working all weekend but winter is coming, and we need to get things in place. October was time to do siding pine board and batten which I per painted with protective oil. Got most of the cabin done but snow came before we could get the last one done.Thanksgiving was the first No Work weekend, and we got 2 feet of snow in 24 hours. When we start this build we wanted to have a place were we could retire, and until then make memories with our teen age kids. We have been campers for 17 years and need to do something new.

We are not hunters, but the whole family (but me) shoots bow. The teens have made a large fort with fox hole for airsoft wars with there friends. What we do there ATV, snowmobile, cross country ski, snow shoe, wildlife watch, jog, play cards, star star gazing and more... we are 45 min from boating and fishing. This is where the unicycling will head next. We would like to build ramps, board walks in the trees for riding. Will we have to wait tell the snow leave to start the building. Should make of some fun riding!
