Friday Thoughts

It's Friday, woohoo!

Here's my "to-do" list for today:
Hehe. ;)

In just one week I will be in Florida! This month has flown by, but I sure hope the days in Florida go by soooo slooowwww!! I can't wait to be laying on the beach in the sand, listening to the sound of the waves crashing, and feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin.... To me, it doesn't get much better than that!

So I think my "bigger, stronger, faster" training is going to have to be put on hold for a few more weeks.... After training legs the other day, I realized that my body is just not quite ready for anything even slightly heavy at this point. 

My body is telling me to take it easy, and as hard as it is for me to listen, I know I have to. I think barbell squats and deadlifts are definitely out of the picture until this issue I have going on with my hip/butt/back goes away. So I'll go back to my 4 day push/pull upper body split, with some light bodyweight leg stuff in there somewhere, just nothing that loads my spine for now.

Anyways, so yesterday I was checking out at the library, and the librarian says to me, "Got some guns, dude!"(It was a guy, obviously.) That was pretty much the highlight of my day!  I know I've gotten to where I want to be when people in random places make comments on my arms. It always makes you feel good to hear something like that. :)

Have a great weekend!!

    You're too cute Lindsay! I like when people make comments like that too! It's usually about my tri's! My nickname at work is "muscles" lol! I love it :) I actually have a shirt that says "proud to be awesome" I got it at that love culture store! You should get one!!! Hehe! I have a lot of your posts to catch up on! Didn't have internet/smartphone for a month! I hope your spine/back are doing better too! Right now we are on opposites. I need to take upper body easy...

      Haha, I do need that shirt! ;) It feels good to get comments about your muscles, when you've worked so hard for them, huh? And you do have some amazing triceps!

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 ...
