  1. hi lindsay, just had time to flick thru some blogs and read your tanning dilema. please do NOT, NOT, NOT, NOT use a tanning bed. i was a sun worhipper too, and when i was a teenager/in my 20's we used to sunbake with babyoil on our bodies and face - it was the done thing. no fake tanners back in those days. even when we went snow skiing we didnt bother about sunblock and came home with red faces. we tried the sunbeds but that got too expensive back then and they started to connect sunbeds with skin caner so that went out of fashion. now at the ripe old age of 48 i am madly trying to recover my skin from tanning/sunbeds. its turned into an obsession because i dont want ageing wrinkly skin - a big age give away. and the creams are expensive. i only use fake tan now and wish i never baked in the sun/beds when i was younger. im very lucky that my skin has responded well to the creams but i'm a slave to them and if i had my time again wish i never abused my skin.
    so lindsay, please buy a spraygun coz its not a good look being old and wrinkly later on and thats when you need all the help you can get to keep looking good and healthy! even if you dont get a lot of wrinkles the pigmentation blotches will come out!
    i'll get off my soapbox now !!!!!

  2. Thanks, Amanda! I know that it's not worth it. The having horrible skin part actually scares me more than the cancer risk! I already have and have always had bad skin...don't need it to get any worse!

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 ...
