Winners and a Whirlwind Weekend

Whew! I made it!

It's been a CRAZY day! I know you've been waiting on the edge of your seats all day to find out who the FIVE people are who won my Sugar Bolus! I'm so sorry it's taken this long...

But I have good reasons!

First, I worked all day!

Then, Sweetpea has STREP. AGAIN! I don't think the poor child has been healthy for five days straight since January. I have to give D a hand, though. Without it, I would never have known this early. But she had some wonky high numbers last night that would NOT come down. I knew she'd been exposed - multiple times- so I looked in her throat.... and those tonsils were HUGE. She feels fine... no fever... no pain. We opted for the shot - a little one and done. I hoped that it would help keep her from getting any sicker and hopefully keep those bg's from getting too crazy. We can hope. Poor girl. She had a rough day!

Then... I had to go stand in the cold... in a rather LONG LINE... to get a certain new product that was available TODAY from Apple. :) Totally worth the wait!

THEN... I'm packing! I am headed to Washington DC tomorrow to participate in JDRF's Government Day! This is my first time attending this event... and I am stoked!

Government Day actually lasts for 4 days! It's "part training session, part research update, part networking opportunity, and part celebration of the Advocacy Program". About 150 volunteers, just like me, from around the country are on their way. We will be meeting with our Congress men and women on Monday and Tuesday! I'm excited to share my passion for JDRF and encourage our law makers to get involved and help us fight this disease!

This year, YOU can get involved in Government Day from the comfort of your own home!

How?

JDRF is really engaging the use social media this year. Some D Bloggers (Allison Blass, Michael Hoskins, Scott Johnson, Kelly Kunik, Kelly Rawlings, Cherise Shockley, Kerri Sparling, Scott Strange, and Kim Vlasnik) have been invited to participate in a round table discussion. This discussion will be on Sunday at 2:15pm EDT. It will be streamed LIVE through JDRF's USTREAM channel. The discussion will focus on how JDRF's Advocacy Program can more effectively complement the efforts of the DOC.  You can submit discussion topics through USTREAM, Twitter, and Facebook. 


We will also be live tweeting this entire event under the hashtag #JDRFGovDay

This is something new for me - but I'm ready to get my tweet on!  You can follow me on Twitter @PumpingPrincess!
