Well I actually had a pretty crummy day. I still have some congestion and I have been blowing my nose all day, but that is not what has upset me. On Tuesday when I went to the doctor the whole physical was about me being overweight. I know that I need to lose some weight, but it is not as bad as he was making it out to be. During the whole physical I just listened to what he said and I tried not to let it upset me too much. I know that I have come along way in my weight loss journey and I have recently got back on Weight Watchers. I gained some weight during Emma's adoption ordeal and I am really trying to get back on track and get the weight back off. I actually lost three pounds before I went to the doctor so I was happy. Well, I had to go back today to get the forms that needed to be filled out. On the form for our local agency everything looked great and he stated that I was healthy and there were no medical concerns. On the form to our agency in Michigan he used the words "mildly obese" and his concern was that I needed to exercise and needed to lose weight. What makes me mad about the exercise comment is that he did not even ask me if I exercised. My answer would have been yes. I walk two or three times a week with the kids and I wear a pedometer at work and I take at least 12,000 steps that equals like 4 miles. Some of you remember that the agency in Michigan and Korea has a weight restriction and is very strict about weight issues. So, I was horrified. I am 20 pounds under the weight restriction so I am not worried about that part but I am not sure if something will be said about his other comments. I asked the nurse if she would remove the comments because of the situation but she just added that I was healthy to the end of mildly obese. I guess I am just surprised that he would put that information on the form. I guess I will try to lose a few more pounds in case there is an issue. 
Well, Sam and Emma woke up at 7:30 this morning. We had breakfast and made a quick run to Wal-Mart to finish up getting things for our trip. After the store we came home and I took the kids to our friend's house to swim. They had so much fun. We got home at about 3:30 and they both were out. Emma just woke up a few minutes ago and Sam is still asleep on the couch. Jeremy has a softball game tonight. I am kinda glad Sam is still asleep because I did not want to go to the game, it is too hot outside. I also have another early morning and long day at work. Thanks for letting me vent.

 Oh, hey. Just dropping in to unload the million thoughts going on in my head. I know it's been awhile and once again I am writing this from my phone, so please excuse any mistakes. I am wearing my reading glasses since the last time I posted so maybe writing from my phone won't be as bad as it usually is.   I'm a little bit of a mess these days and I am entering the time of the year that is the hardest on me emotionally,  mentally,  and spiritually. These next few months are filled with dates that broke me. There are dates the next few months that take me back to the darkest days I have experienced.  I enter this fight with the demons that seemed to have attached themselves to me 22 years ago. Praise Jesus, He gave me victory from those demons, but this time of year they like to rear their ugly heads and I struggle. Cancer gave me so many wonderful people and experiences that would not be part of who I am now. But cancer and the trauma that  followed ...

  "I live with a difficult child. That is really hard to write, but the truth is that I have lived with a difficult child for about 14 years. The last few years have been unbearable at times."  I haven't written a post in a long time. The main reason is that I don't have a personal computer (my work computer will not let me log in with my personal email) and I absolutely hate writing from my phone, but here I am needing to write,so I write. When I logged on this evening I found that I had started to write a post on May 23, 2022, but never finished it. We had just come off one of the most difficult years with Chloe. I could be found most nights just crying in my bathroom or screaming, "I can't live in this house with her anymore!" Her treatment towards me had escalated so intensely that I didn't even speak to her for several days and I was a little afraid of her. She had been making so many poor choices at home and we just tried to keep them hidden. I...

Wednesday, October 26, 2011- You are cordially invited...to my pity party

Okay. So life has been hard these past few weeks. Well, maybe not life in general, but I have been having a rough time. So, I am choosing to have myself a little pity party. If you would like to join me, keep reading. I do not talk much about my fibromyalgia. One, I do not like to complain and I feel like I am just a big complainer when I do talk about it. Two, the truth is that if you do not have it you cannot fully wrap your mind or sympathy around the pain I feel every day of my life. Over the past two years I really have learned to live with it. My husband and kids would see a glimpse of my pain, but I even tried to hide it from them. I really struggle with letting people know my own hurt and pain. Almost a year ago I was finally diagnosed and was able to get a mild relief from the intense pain. Of course the first few medicines work for a few months but then I was changed to a more powerful medicine. Well, about a month ago my pain has returned at full force. I was scheduled to go...
