Day 28

1.2 lbs this morning was very good to see off of my weight. Yippee!!!
Today didn't go at all as I had planned. I was going to take Jackson or JJ to preschool (I will post why JJ). Then go to the rental and paint the doors, go pick him up and go back home and have lunch. My friend Lisa, was going to let Millie take a nap at her house, and I was going take Jackson and scrub the corners and base boards where there was &*(@... Well, none of that happened in that order.
I woke up with a huge headache. I got the girls off to school and got in the tub. I was going to get out around 9 and get Jackson in the tub and take him to school. After I got out of the tub, I fell asleep till 11ish. I was so thankful the little kids didn't get into anything or damage anything. When I woke up, I was on facebook, trying to get rid of the headache when a friend popped up and was telling me that she was doing ok, but could be better. When I asked her, what could she be doing better, she told me her mom was dying (I knew she wasn't doing good, a later post). Her name is Arissa and her mom Cyndi and my mom Cindy worked together and became really good friends and Arissa use to babysit for me. She is now just starting college up in Cedar and doesn't have a car. When she told me this, I told her I will come and get her and bring her down. So that is what I did. I dropped my kids off at my sil's and headed up to Cedar to get her, then we drove to St. George to see her mom.
Like a said earlier, I didn't get anything done when I wanted to, but this was TOTALLY worth it. I know that Arissa needed to come be with her mom as much as possible. My heart is aching for her and her siblings. I know it's Cyndi's time to go and she will be without pain for the first time in a VERY long time. To see Cyndi this way just breaks my heart. To see Arissa loose her mother, breaks my heart even more. She is the only girl in her family and her and her mom were best of friends. I hope to be there when ever she needs me.
I could go on and on, but will post about this situation another time. 9 more days of the 500 calorie diet and counting.
