I had a GREAT day today!! First, we had a meeting today for Target leaders to cover 2012 accomplishments and 2013 strategy. Love those meetings! We each got a gift from the CEO which was a really nice Target watch.

Then we had our third measurement night at training. Lots of progress!! 10 lbs down in 5 weeks and inches off!

Then when I got home I had this special card from my friends Becca and Nick (thank you!!!). So nice.

And the pooch is feeling better… (He was having some digestive issues last night.)

Day 179

Watch Pots Boil Over

Coffee...

It seems like all we’ve been doing today is watching. By mid morning, my dad told us that he was ready to go and it was time. We huddled around praying, telling him it was okay to go, singing, crying. We sent the kids to Nana’s house. Then he told us he didn’t know how and got very agitated. The rest of the day we’ve sat around waiting for the inevitable. He’s frustrated, we’re sad/hopeful/frustrated.

It’s not that we want him to die. However, we know that it’s his time. We know that it will end his pain and suffering. We know that he’ll see family and friends of old. And most importantly, he’ll see God. Why wouldn’t we want this for him?

Lord, please help this end soon for his sake. He wants it.

Day 49

Things to get me through…

In the pocket...

For some reason, I have ended up on a work theme this week. Promise… tomorrow will end that. But once I start, I feel like I have to continue. Anywhoo… Some other folks doing 365 have taken a version of this shot. I thought it applies… The stuff to get me through my work day. I don’t have the time to take pics of what gets me through the night. 🙂 (Insert photo of favorite alcohol…)

The other thing that gets me through… friends. Shout out to my peeps Katie P and Becca B… Today we had a random “soda and walk chat” and just took a break from our busy-ness to walk the store and chat. Love you both! Thanks for taking my mind away from the crazy this week. Then, tonight I came home to Joe/Julie visiting with some Pei Wei for dinner. Again, awesome.
