Due to circumstances that I’m sure I don’t have to explain…I really need to take a break for a while.  I am in my teary moments and need to figure out exactly what I am going to do right now…I love you guys dearly and my DIAMOND team but I have to take care of Angela right now. 

Please keep me in your prayers I so need it…I just have to take sometime totally for me and re-evaluate my life.  Thank you so much and trust me I am okay just need time for me.  Love you much, Angela

Well it’s not as easy as I thought; I actually wanted to call my mom today; but it will get better! She is with me in spirit! I couldn’t wake up to get in that 4:00 a.m. or 6:00 a.m. workout but I will get in my afternoon one! I guess it will take some time and my body was simply tired…and I’ve learned when you are tired….REST!!! The body requires it!  I will be starting back on PHASE I of southbeach today so I am excited about that! And I am excited about my DIAMOND team and the wonderful changes taking place.

So although I am slowly getting back on track…the key is I AM GETTING BACK ON TRACK!!! After such a stressful summer I want my fall to be totally relaxing and peaceful so I also have to get in shape for two OCTOBER WEDDINGS!  And Lyssa and I are going to be in ONEDERLAND by the New Year…so I’m getting back on track and I will stay on track until I meet my goal!  Remember to STAY POSITIVE and everyone have a wonderful day!!!

Wow!! It seems as if I have been gone forever; for those who don’t know my mom passed on Sunday, August 10, 2008 and I have been in Ohio dealing with the funeral cleaning out her apartment and so forth and so on.  I just arrived back this morning and I am in my office. I have my moments when I think of mom and just cry. My hubby’s transfer didn’t come through so he and Dupree will be in TEXAS  I just couldn’t deal with the little guy by myself right now.

Things are going great for me (of course I miss my mom) but I am strong and she is with me in spirit. I am writing a book on Aneurysms and will start a foundation in her memory in OHIO.  Just keep me in your prayers and thanks everyone who sent a thinking of me; kept me and my family in your prayers.

Now it’s time to get back on track I’m still trying to see ONDERLAND BY THE END OF THE YEAR!! And I have two weddings in October….my cousins wedding is October 11th and Toni’s is October 18th. So I have to pull out my TAE-BO and HIP HOP ABS and get busy!!! I sure did miss you guys!!! Remember STAY POSITIVE!!!! Love you all and thanks again for every kind gesture, Angela

Well it’s 12:20 a.m. and I’m up so I decided to check in and was so overwhelmed with the thank you’s and love and support for me and my family during this difficult time.  I’m listening to my mom’s favorite song: “I’ve been in the STORM too long!” Well she is at peace now and won’t have to worry about storms anymore.  THANK GOD!  Yes the tears are falling from my eyes’ (it’s my mom)and I am going to miss her so much.  I keep feeling like I could’ve done so much more for her; but I know in my heart I did good by my mom.

Thanks for all of your prayers I have a very tough week ahead just continue to keep me in your prayers. I flew home to PA today to get the rest of my things and was suppose to turn around and leave at 2:00 p.m. but I was too exhausted and I’ve caught a little cold so I need to take care of myself. I will be leaving this morning at 4:15 a.m. to go to the AIRPORT so I better go and get some sleep.

Thank you buddies for all of your love and support it means the world to me!  Angela

Well Brittany is finally walking again…THANK GOD!  She has a little limp but she is walking so physical therapy is doing great for her.  Heather was having some internal bleeding and wouldn’t go to the doctor so just pray for my 21 year old that knows everything other than that she is great!  Mom was not doing well when I left Ohio on Monday my brothers said she is moving her eyes now…I trust GOD with her life and with everything that is happening.  We are taking her off the ventilator this weekend so pray for our family…If it is GOD’s will for her to leave then so be it he knows what is best for us all!  My mom’s heart is to the point of not repairable according to the doctor’s since she suffered a major heart attack on top of the aneurysm that burst and has been bleeding on her brain for 12 days now.  They cannot do any operations on her because of the severity of both her brain and heart.  I simply want my mom to be in peace and only GOD knows. 

I am strong because of the LORD and all my faith is in him.  So I am doing much better than with the girls accident everyone thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown.  In anycase I still need much prayer for my brothers and I because it is so hard because it is our mom.  And thanks a million to all my buddy slim family for your love and support it means the world to me.

I am flying out on Thursday night back to ohio and will let you guys know how everything goes.  Remember to STAY POSITIVE AND TRUST IN THE LORD!!!  Have a wonderful day everyone!
