I am sorry that I have not blogged for the past few days but we have been really busy. On Wednesday Jeremy had teacher in service all day and I had to work all day. Two girls from our youth group, Emily and Rachael, stayed with Sam and Emma. We all got home Wednesday changed clothes and went to eat at the Mexican restaurant and then off to church. The girls were going to watch the kids Thursday so they ended up staying the night Wednesday. Thursday morning I got up early and went to Curves. I had to be at work at 9 but I was getting off at 2. My parents were coming to our house on their way back from the National. My parents got to our house around 3. I decided to just make supper at home. I thought it might help Emma getting used to my parents better. She does so much better warming up to people when we are at home. My parents have only been around Emma a few times so I was worried that she would not have anything to do with them. By Thursday night Emma was sitting in their laps and playing with them. It was very sweet. On Friday my mom and I and then kids went to Clarksville and shopped a little bit. We then came home so the kids could nap and then when to my brother's house in Mt. Juliet to have supper with their family. We were at their house until after 11 PM last night. Sam and Emma had a great time. Emma fell down a few steps at their house and I thought she was going to have a fat lip this morning but it is not too bad.  Today we went to a couple of stores so Jeremy could get school supplies for his room. He is going next Friday to get his room ready. He then reports to school August 6th and the kids report August 11th. This summer has just flown by!

 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...
