Pizza and Cookies

I had a really great weekend that seemed to go by nice and slow for a change! Love those kind of weekends.

We didn't do anything exciting, but the weekend did include a candle lit pizza dinner. Papa Murphy's take and bake pizzas are great. Then we topped it off with chocolate chip cookies for dessert.

My husband was in heaven. I mean, seriously, I have never seen someone get so much pleasure from pizza, especially now that he's dieting for a show. I like to switch up our treats and have something different each week, but I don't think he'd ever tire of having pizza and only pizza every single week!

Anyways, I just finished my WOD-what a great workout! Actually, my arms are still shaking as I type this! The workout was called "Lynne", and it's 5 rounds of: bodyweight bench press for max reps and then max pullups. You can rest as long as needed between exercises.

I used 120lbs for the bench press, and could only squeeze out about 2 reps each round, and I got between 15 and 20 pullups(kipping) each round. It's definitely a tough one, but fun, especially since I love to bench press and I don't get to do it all that often.

Now I'm off to walk Asher since the rain has stopped(we had a major thunderstorm last night that woke me up!) and the sun is shining. Then I'm going to cook up some food for myself for the week. I'm thinking pumpkin protein bars and maybe some beef vegetable soup. Yum!

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
