I am going thru so much right now in my head and in my heart.

I got very little sleep last night and I feel just mentally drained. I feel like my childhood was such a challenge and I dealt with more than any child should have to, that my adult life should have been easier, ya know? I have always felt that there must have been SOME reason that God put me in the family he did, but now as an adult everything has come back to haunt me and make life hard again. WHY????

I'm just praying that I don't let this sidetrack me from my weight loss goals, cause finally in my life I believe that I am WORTH taking care of and I'm actually LOSING weight and exercising! That's part of this whole thing too......I've always taken care of everyone else at the expense of myself and worried about keeping someone else happy and I'm still doing it.

Sigh........I just want to be happy.

Life update

Obviously it's been a bit since I blogged. As usual, I get all gung-ho about something new and then it fizzes a bit. BUT, I'm back to tell more. :) I've doing great at the Couch 25K program and was up to Week 3 last week and then on Friday I was sick and couldn't run. Then I got sick over the weekend along with 2 of my sons and now DH is sick. Went to the doctor on Monday w/Devan, my 11yo, and found out we had Strep. Lovely! That explains why I couldn't breathe and sleep and swallow! Needless to say, the runs were out for a bit. I intend to start again this week. Hopefully tomorrow.



I have done a bit of stitching. I finished a Prairie Schooler August ornie, but forgot to take a picture, I'll have to do that later. And I FINALLY started my Papillon Castles in the Air SAL. I've got pictures for your viewing pleasure! Here's my floss toss - I'm using 28ct Lugana evenweave in Antique Ivory I think it is. And here's the small start that I have. I've also been working on my Noah's Ark Sampler and my L&L Angel of Grace.



The boys have finished summer school now and the only we have going on aside from playing is Devan's summer theater that he's involved in. Our town has a group called the Redbud Players and they always do a childrens play/musical during the summer. Devan was in it last year and is in again this year. He's had practice every afternoon except Friday since school let out in June. The performances are this weekend on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I'll post pictures of that after the weekend.

Therese, my daughter, is getting quite the belly on her. She was 19 weeks on
Monday - it's gone by so quickly! She had her first ultrasound about a month ago and also went to the doctor. The doctor told her that right now her placenta is low, which COULD result in Placenta Previa if it doesn't move away from the cervix. Basically that means she would have to have a c-section. We're praying that doesn't happen. Typically when it's found early in pregnancy it will move on it's own, but there's nothing she can do to help it along. She has another appointment on July 28th and then he'll schedule another ultrasound to see how things are going. She and Brian are also hoping to find out the gender of the baby. They say their too impatient to wait! :) Here's a picture of Therese we took on Sunday.

Well, that's all for now. I really need to figure out how to add pictures differently. For the life of me I can't figure out how to get them to line up with the text that talks about them and then start writing new text underneath. Guess I need to dig into the depths of Blogger help!
