Bishop is out of town so I didn’t have any extra meetings today. It was nice sleeping in a little bit (I got to stay in bed until about 8:30 when Murphy finally forced me out of bed). The I got ready and went to church with the family. Unfortunately I lost my temper a few times tonight after church. I lost it with Gehrig when he kept talking back to Rachel and telling her no when she would ask him to do something. I later when and apologized to him for losing my temper. I explained how much it upsets me when my children talk back and don’t obey my wife. He forgave me and apologized to Gehrig. Another time was with Daisy. She gets in little fits where she starts biting. She started biting me and I lost it with her. Rachel had to intervene. I have never liked dogs and this whole dog situation has me frustrated. I’m trying hard to just let it go and deal with it, but sometimes the frustrations boil over. Other other event of tonight was with Gracie. We found a bunch of candy wrappers downstairs and Gehrig said it was from Gracie. She denied and denied it. I really felt she was lying so I persisted in having her tell me the truth. She then confessed that she had two, then three, then eight. I counted 10 wrappers but the most she would confess to was 8. Her blood sugar level was up to 356 – which is very high. We try to keep her between 80-150. That was another reason I really suspected she was lying. I had a talk with her about how important it is to be honest about food. I wasn’t upset with her for eating candy. I understand that this is a very hard trial for her – especially when everyone else eats candy. But lying about it only makes it worse, but the doctors can misinterpret numbers and change her prescription when it doesn’t need to be changed. We have had this conversation before, but I hope it sinks in this time. Anyway, I hope I can have a better day tomorrow and be in better control of my temper.
