Diabetes Blows

I am about to spend $132 on Amazon, and I don't give a shit. Because my baby is has Type 1 diabetes, so who really gives a shit what our credit card balance is? My purchases are:

1) Digital scale for measuring food in grams
2) Two books detailing proper carb counting, including carb factor listings
3) Two books on how to parent kids with diabetes
4) One book all about insulin
5) One book that purports to teach me how to "Think Like a Pancreas." That one was purchased for the name alone -- tons of positive reviews by parents of newly diagnosed kids was just a bonus.
6) A DVD on yoga for stress relief. My power yoga videos aren't quite cuttin' it these days. Need something a little more mellow.
7) A copy of The Help. Heard it's a great book, and I need something to read besides diabetes books, right?
8) The unrated version of The Hangover. Must have something to help us laugh.
9) The New Moosewood Cookbook. Borrowed it from the library. Must. Have. Own. Copy.
