Glowing Giggles

Last week was reallllll rough....it was a week of mourning.... for my fat. Sorry I didn't actually die I might be a little dramatic but it's the closest thing I can imagine to what death feels like. So T H R E E years ago when I was in MUCH better shape a group of us ladies used to take a workout class called Tone & Sculpt I call it Tone & Death because the first class I attended I had to bite down on my t-shirt to keep from vomiting!! It was rough!  Now I've done a P90X, Insanity, T25, Jillian Michaels, Shaun T video, you name it I've struggled through it but nothing compares to Vanessa....our own personal drill sergeant who never leaves home without her violin because she doesn't know the word sympathy and tears actually fuel her!! So anywho Life happened and got busy and that class came to an end and three years went by....some people had babies, some people stayed in the gym, some people went months without the gym (Me) so you know how that go

6 months ago today I experienced probably one of the hardest things ever! I was getting ready for work when the water broke.... HOLY CRAP! TODAY IS THE DAY!?!?! I don't think I'm ready! I mean I knew this day would come but OMG like its time!!!! I rush to Tallahassee....why I don't know.

The contractions started getting closer and closer and more intense with each one. Everyone in the room could see them coming. It would be a team effort. You pull here, you push here, you fan here, chapstick now, water... tiny break.... then REPEAT! The Doctor came in at one point and was like it'll be a few hours but you are progressing nicely.

I wasn't prepared for what I would hear early yesterday morning when I got in my car and started to drive to work. It was about 5:40 am Monday October 2nd I was listening to 94.9 FM and it took a few minutes for me to even realize what had happened because the poor radio host could barely form sentences and he too was processing what had happened. When he finally said the words there has been a shooting in Las Vegas at an outdoor Country Music Festival, several are dead and multiple are injured....my heart sank! I couldn't help but think about all of the times I have been to Vegas or even an outdoor concert. My first time in Vegas I went to an outdoor concert while there then my next two trips to Vegas were for very large events that this could have easily happened at. The thought literally makes me sick to my stomach. By 6:15 am videos, snaps, tweets, photos, news articles, and posts were everywhere. All I could do was cry while I read detail after detail and watched videos o
