I hate days like these...

Today has been one of those just very crappy days that you just wish would go away...fast. To start my day off, I gained a whopping three pounds. Let me give you a little insight. My very awesome friend and I weigh in every single week since last May with the obvious intention to lose weight. In the last 14 months, I have maybe lost a total of four pounds...not what I was hoping for. Within the last few months, we have decided that whoever gains weight or the most weight in a week has to wear this heinous looking bracelet to let people know we gained weight. It's a bad deal. Anywho, that is what happened....so now I'm stuck with the bracelet of shame.

Then, I get to work and no less than an hour later, I get a phone call saying my husband hasn't picked up our kids from daycare, which means my son is ten minutes late for his haircut. So I ended up having to leave to pick them up to bring him to his haircut. In the meantime, I get a phone call from my mom saying my grandpa is not doing well and if I don't go see him, I may not get the chance....

I'm tired and exhausted. I spent 3 hours at the nursing home watching my grandpa try to breathe and realize that this is it....It's a hard thing to watch, even when you've known for awhile that it was coming soon. It's never easy watching those around you hurt when you hurt so bad too.

We will have to see how the next few days go. We were supposed to leave for vacation (something I've been waiting for for such a long time) on Saturday. We will have to see if that happens. Keep us in your prayers. It's going to be a long week.

I'm going to hit the pillow now! Thanks for listening to me! Goodnight!
