Sometimes I just don't see how I came from the family I came from!! I am so different from my brother and sister in so many ways....


I just talked with my mom on the phone, and she is all stressed out and depressed about my brother and sister, as always. They just both don't seem to have any motivation to do anything with their lives.


My sister lives in a trailer out in the middle of nowhere with her no good, bum of a boyfriend and his parents. She's 23 and hasn't had a job in years, yet she comes to my mom all the time for money, which my mom gives to her!!? She just uses my mom, and I don't see why my mom lets her do it. She'll never get a job if she knows Mom will give her money when she needs it. I just don't see how my sister can live the way she does.


My little brother is graduating from high school, and really doesn't seem very interested in college at all....he's still young, and I understand that... I just hope he doesn't follow the same path as my sister.


I just wish things were normal like they used to be! My sister and I used to be best friends and do EVERYthing together, now I hardly talk to her at all. I can't just call her up because she doesn't have a phone, doesn't have money, etc. I don't think she really cares about hanging out with me anymore. My little brother used to be my best buddy, but now he's just a mean teenager. He really changed after my dad died; I guess he was just angry... Hopefully he'll just grow out of that.

My brother and sister are just both selfish and inconsiderate and don't treat my mom right at all. They aren't appreciative of all that she's done for them. I just don't get it.

    Oh, I'm so sorry to hear that Lindsay. Just look at the bright side, you have a wonderful husband and mother who love you. You can't control what your brother and sister do so just enjoy your life and all of the good things you have. Focus on your new family (you and hubby) and just ask your mom not to talk to you about problems she's having with your siblings. Big {{{{HUGS}}} for you : )

    Thanks, Nicole. Most of the time I don't worry about them. I just miss hanging out with them sometimes....it's hard not to care about what they do with their lives when I know what potential they have!

    You answered your own questions. She lives like that because she can. Because other people are supporting her.

    Your vacation pics are great! You are so tiny! But have a nice amount of muscle too. Have you considered doing a bikini show/competition?

    Thanks, Krissa! No, I've never considered that. I don't think I have a good figure for a competition-too small(and need some boobs!) :)

People always said That time would heal the pain But how can that be When mine still remains? The tears still fall At just the thought of you So I know that what they say Just can't be true As the years go by I miss you so much still  No matter how much time passes I know I always will How are you not here To ease my hurting heart? Never could I have imagined We would ever be apart My world has been shattered A piece of me is gone And all I can do is pray For strength to live on I know that one day soon I will see you again I just have to try to suffer through And make it until then

Putting My Heart Out There

Hey guys. Here's where we're at right now: Matt finished his radiation treatments last week. Did they help? I don't know. He's sleeping a lot more. Having trouble chewing and swallowing. Not eating much. Not talking much, at least not in full sentences. It's just been a slow, steady decline for the last few months. I think it was really too late for radiation....But who knows, maybe it is delaying things. We went in last Tuesday for his infusion and talked with his neuro-oncologist about everything that we've been seeing with Matt, and he decided that we're at the point now where we should discontinue treatments...I feel like it's the right decision, even though it breaks my heart knowing that there is nothing else we can do. But I feel like we've done everything. All the supplements, the diet, the chemo, the radiation... Matt has fought hard. He never gave up hope. He kept the faith. He never complained through any of this. Not once did I hea...

Why?

Why? Why do I care so much?  Why do I make sure they brush their teeth at night so that they don't get cavities? Why do I spend my own money to buy them clothes, toys and decorate their rooms, among other things?  Why do I do 5,000 loads of laundry a week to make sure they have clothes to wear to school? Why do I make sure they go to church on Sundays so that they'll be raised to know about Jesus? Why do I try to give them chores and responsibilities so that they will turn out to be decent human beings? Why do I read them a bedtime story at night, even when I'm exhausted? Why do I clean up after them constantly and cook for them and try to always have healthy snacks and food on hand? Why do I go to their sports games and practices, just to feel like the odd man out standing there awkwardly with their bio mom? Why do I give 100% of myself and make so many sacrifices for children I didn't birth? Only to be insulted and told hurtful things? To be made to feel like I'm ...
