Sad day

I found out this morning that my great uncle who was a soldier in The Wizard of Oz, died late last night. This has really affected me but I met him numerous times and he looked and acted exactly like my grandpa who died a few months before my parents got married. I feel as though I lost my grandpa again. I feel blessed to have known him and in a way know my grandpa too, since they were so much alike. But it makes me feel better to know he is no longer suffering and in Heaven partying with my grandparents!!

On a side note, it has been a stressful and draining week. The kids that I nanny are still sick from last week which means lots of crying and whining. Thankfully they are both starting to feel better, otherwise, I might have lost my mind. My sister told me her mother in law, who has pancreatic cancer is not doing good. I have been really watching what I eat and trying to exercise a little but more since bathing suit season is right around the corner. Yesterday morning I felt like a blob and was at my lowest weight and today I felt skinnier and was a pound more!!! What in the world is up with that?? Oh well, I know the weight doesn't matter, its how you feel and your clothes fit but still! Better luck next week!
