Two weeks ago he got to come home. Tonight he had to be transported back to the hospital where he was born (3 hours away) and he passed away. I know I'm grieving for my mom, but I don't even know what to say. What a tragic loss--he was a beautiful, happy baby. Even with his little ng feeding tube in, he was full of smiles and laughter. And now he's gone. I can't make sense of it.

 A co-worker was taking the weekend off to go to her brother's wedding but she's had to extend her vacation to attend her grandofather's funeral immediately aftwerward. How awful--especially for the bride and groom who will have to push back their honeymoon to also attend the funeral.
I feel like everyone I know is under an incredible amount of stress right now. I get teary at the drop of a hat now which means I'm close to my breaking point. I can't even tell my sister (who is my usual secret keeper) what's happening because if I talk about it then I'll cry and when I cry, she cries...we just can't do that right now. Ain't nobody got time fa dat.

I hear ya... I cry all the time now, and I'm not normally a crier. Well maybe that ONE day a month. But normally I'm the strong one. I just can't be strong right now. I'm giving myself a lot of grace right now.
And what I REALLY want to say.... It's CARDINAL BASEBALL Time!!!!!

I'm sitting here in the den watching my Vikings get their butts kicked by the Lions. 
But with two hurt quarterbacks, and AP out, I guess I shouldn't expect much from them.

I had to actually Google Advocare to see what it was. Now, I'm curious to see these pictures. I'm so over doing work for school. Bleh!

My gel manicure did not last nearly as long as I thought it would.

There's no way I'm going to get everything done that needs to get done before my surgery. Ugh.

If getting sued has taught my anything at all, it's to keep paperwork organized. I'm not sleeping till I find the original contract that is in question......it's gonna be a long night.

LOL my bad, man. I'm generally a man of my word, but we ended up going to Cedar Point, and we didn't get home until well after 2am. It wasn't planned, it was one of those routine wake-up in the morning, have breakfast, "let's go to Cedar Point" things.
It's halloweekends there now, until the 1st of November, and we haven't been yet this season -- had to take advantage of the nice weather. Sorry about that. I'll look for you tonight. If not, let me know what time is good for you. I'm good most nights, with the exception of Tuesday and Thursday, because I teach on those days after I leave work.

Picture someone named Sally Smith. On Tuesday, Sally posts a half naked (sports bra + shorts, bikini, etc.) #transformationtuesday photo. On Wednesday, Sally posts a story about the female who got her into Advocare and how she changed her life for #womancrushwednesday. On Thursday, it's a comparison photo similar to Tuesday for #tbt. For Friday, it's a sports bra flexing photo for #flexfriday. Top all that off with almost weekly 'I lost 50 pounds here's what I used to look like here's what I look like now' photos.
I'm all for weight loss and being healthy, but it gets to be a bit much sometimes. I also seriously question how healthy Advocare is, but that's a different rant...

One of my FB friends is an Advocare rep...and so much koolaid...so much drinking of said koolaid. One of her claims is that Advocare has allowed her husband to quit his job when in actuality it's the sale of inherited land for a massive real estate development that is freeing things up financially.
The products may be good, but the multilevel marketing aspect is a big turn off for me.
