Out of sadness a little bit of joy

On March 2, 2013 my Aunt died unexpectedly, out of this tragedy came a little bit of happiness. Her funeral was the first time since 1999 that my direct family has been together. We have been scattered all over the world. We are now all residing in North America. 
Here we are before the funeral.

Brayden is here.

So after a long wait for us all but especially his mother.  Brayden O'Neil Willis finally made his entrance on February 21, 2013 at 10:47 pm.  He weighted 7 lbs 9 oz and was 19 and 3/4 inches long.  I am biased but I think he is sooooo handsome.  I am very proud of his mother, Sharlene.  I love them both.

Not so patiently waiting.

I have this friend, who I love like a daughter, and she is at the hospital waiting to give birth.  This is the second round of pitocin and they are going to break her water (or they might have already).  I just hope her and baby Brayden are both healthy.  I'm at work and will not get off until 5pm.  I am hoping that when I get it off it's to drive to the hospital to see them both.

UPDATE:  At a little before there she was at a 4.  I haven't heard anything else.  I'm headed that way when I leave work.

Got my package in

So yesterday when I got home from work I had a package waiting.  My DDP Yoga came in.  Open the box and but did not start going through it yet because I had Psychology 499 home work to do.

I plan on reading the beginning information tonight after church.

Ccccccc Changes on the way

I am a little more than up set right now.  I am down right angry.  I will get to the reason why in a bit but first I need to give you some back story.  I am fat.  There is no other way to say it other than I'm fat, obese actually.  I  have always been large.  As a child I wore husky size.  I don't think I can ever remember not being bigger than the people in my class.  As an adult I look back at those pictures and see someone who was healthy but not obese.  But I was always told that I was too fat.  That I need to not eat and loose weight.  My very favorite was why couldn't I be more like my older sisters.  The oldest one was a cheerleader, on the dance line, and cheered in collage.  The second oldest one was a pageant queen, and on a dance line.  I love my sisters but at times it was hard.  I have struggled with my self image for a very long time.

Now lets fast for to today.  I will be forty years old in March.  I have been divorced for a year. And I am what most people would consider morbidly obese.  I weigh two hundred and eighty pounds.  Now before I go on I need to say that I love the person who I am.  To me weight does not matter at all, weight does not make the person, the personality and spirit makes the person.  Let us move on to what has got me so very very mad.

I was told by my sister (the one who was the pageant queen who is now a mother of eight and weighs as much as I do now) that my Mother was running me down to a slight acquaintance.  My Mother was telling someone who went to the church I grew up in but have not seen since junior high, how fat I am.  My Mother was saying how ashamed of being seen with me she is.  How I have to be way over three hundred pounds and how she doesn't know how I get around.  THAT'S RIGHT MY VERY OWN MOTHER WAS SAYING THIS ABOUT ME.

My sister of course doesn't want me to say anything to my Mother about this because it would only cause problems between them.  I was and still am very angry about this.  But I think this is what I needed to put a fire under my butt and make me do something about my weight.  Today I made a decision to change and by all that is in me I am going to change.  I think I see DDP YOGA in my future.  I ordered the tapes today.
