Frustrations

I have been working on losing weight for a while now and I am slowly dropping the lbs, but oh how I wish my body would like me. First it was my knee and I got a knee brace and was able to workout two days before my back went out on me while working out. It is hard. I am trying so hard to lose weight, but the hardest thing is not being able to function 100 percent for my family.

I promised Katelyn we would make pancakes today for breakfast and last night is when I threw out my back working out. So she comes in this morning and climbs into bed with me and I told her to be careful my back was hurting. She laid her head on my side and says, "mom I am sorry you hurt. Can we make the pancakes?" I started to cry remembering my promise the day before realizing I could barely move let alone stand up long enough to help her make the pancakes. My parents ended up coming and getting all the kids for me and I was able to leave and get my back adjusted. I still can only stand so long before I have to sit and rest. So I decided that even if I have to sit fifty times while we make some yummy pancakes tomorrow I will make sure she gets her pancakes. The disappointment on her face this morning has bothered me all day and I don't want to disappoint her. So we are making pancakes and we are going to have fun with them!

Sweet Older Sister

Canon has been sick with the flu bug that has been going around and has been miserable. He has hardly eaten anything today and has been super grouchy. I had my volleyball games in Snowflake tonight and when I got home Boston said that Canon had grabbed his monkeys and was laying on the couch then Katelyn walked over and started singing songs to him and almost had him asleep on the couch. I am sad he didn't record it or get a picture. Even though they fight, Katelyn is such a sweet older sister and would do anything to make him feel better. She is such a little mom. I am grateful for my beautiful children and wonderful husband.
