January "Currently"

Happy Hump Day!
I thought I'd do a January "Currently", since I didn't do one for December.

Soooo, here goes....

I'm currently:

Eating-
This absolutely delicious creation:
I call it Hamburger Helper, because to me that's what it tastes like. I grew up on Hamburger Helper, and I don't know about you all, but I freaking love it. So for this I just use taco seasoned lean beef(I use a low sodium packet from McCormick), spaghetti sauce(no sugar added tomato & basil), and macaroni. That's it! And it's amazing.

Feeling-
A little bummed lately with Christmas being over, family drama, and the dreary weather. But that's the norm for me the first couple weeks of January. I'll get over it. At least Spring will be here in a couple of months!

 Wanting-
To be here again soon. No, NEEDING to be here again soon! As I write this, it is currently 9 degrees. NINE DEGREES. Maybe, just MAYBE there will be a beach trip in my future??


Reading- 
The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton. I really, really loved this book! It was one of those books that made me not be able to go to sleep at night because I wanted to keep reading it!

Watching- 
The New Celebrity Apprentice. We've been watching the Celebrity Apprentice for years now, and I love that now Arnold is the "boss"!

Loving-
This hashtag going around on the internet right now! #GainingWeightIsCool. I'm ALL ABOUT encouraging women to be okay with weight GAIN, and with loving themselves no matter what their body looks like, no matter if they're shredded or soft or fluffy or whatever. It's an awesome thing.

Also, all of these posts out there on the internet:

Wearing-
My favorite current lip products: NYX lipstick in Thalia, Wet 'N Wild lipstick in Bare It All, and my newest-NYX Intense butter gloss in Tres Leches(can  you tell I'm a fan of nudes?).

Obsessing over- 
This mascara.It's the best mascara I've tried so far! I have super short and straight eyelashes, so I am very picky about mascara and need ALL the help I can get! I love the brush on this one and how it clings to every eyelash as you brush it through. Makes my lashes both thicker and longer.

Listening to-
Testify by NEEDTOBREATHE. Love this song!



Excited about-
The Little Mermaid on Broadway on next month! Matt got us tickets for me for Christmas, because he knew I had said I would love to go. The Little Mermaid is my FAVORITE Disney movies of all time!

Enjoying-
my week off from the gym last week! I know it was definitely needed because honestly I didn't miss it one bit. Sometimes I'll take a deload and workout at home, but this week, I didn't want to do a DARN thing. I did do a short workout Friday and some light leg stuff Saturday, after 5 days of absolutely nothing-like, not even mobility work. I needed it. I enjoyed it. But now I'm excited to start a new workout plan!

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 ...
