Death is not the end. It is putting out the candle because the dawn has come.

My Papa updated
My grandpa was given a prognosis of 6 months. It is day to day though. His mind is not here. He is 63 years old and looks like his dad did in his 90's. A few recent pictures on good days.
He got worse as the day went on. He took a nap and a nurse came to check his vitals which were good. I went to help him stand up with my aunt he looked at me and said "who are you" :( later he made a scumner joke about me going to Sumner High (I guess he thinks it is 1964 when he was in high school). I shrugged it off but when my grandma found out she started crying which made me cry.

Weight Dog Car
With both babies I started out over weight. Since Ty and I met 5 years ago I have gained 50lbs (not including pregnancies) I gain around 30lbs during both pregnancies and lost it instantly. With the first I didn't lose anymore after that. Then getting pregnant again a year after she was born didn't help. Brennan is now just over 4 months and I have been thinking about losing weight. I am not looking to be as thin as I was in high school(not that I felt that thin then). I would like to lose 25-30lbs that would get me just below 25 on the body mass index. I think I would feel better in many ways, health wise, image wise, physically, and emotionally.
I have been try to walk 2 miles at least twice a week. I am now in my second week of Jillian Micheal's upside down abs.
In the last 3 weeks I have lost 8lbs!
Brennan is still nursing and that is a little above the recommended weight lose while nursing but I am being healthy. I am making sure I am eating enough for him but not over eating (I tend to binge eat). Eating 6 meals is really helping and that is how Allyson eats anyway so I eat when she does. Lots of water is important while nursing. I haven't been keeping junk snacks around either.
This is Mickey the top picture is from the ad I found for him. He is a 10 month old golden retriever mix. Although he has a lot of energy he is very obedient and great with the kids!

Mother
Sunday I was writing my thoughts on mothers day. something about how I Struggle with negative thoughts around mothers day but my mother leaving me has taught me a lot. I know what choices not to make so my life doesn't go in the direction hers has. It disappeared so I guess it was something that shouldn't have been posted.
My sister said it best: "I find it strange how relationships can come or go. They say the bond between a mother and child could never be stronger but I find that statement to be misguided. The subject of “mother” shouldn’t be the woman who carried and then gave birth after nine months; the “mother” is whoever had the largest impact in being raised. It’s the person who stood by every decision that was made but also supplied hints along the way in which direction to travel. As Sherrilyn Kenyon wrote “We have three kinds of family. Those we are born to, those who are born to use and those who we let into our hearts."
I am so thankful for my grandma and grandpa for taking me. Although my cousin in back in her daughters life my grandma is now on her 4th set of kids, 3 of her own, 2 step kids, myself and cousin, and now a great granddaughter.
