I am not sure what is going on with me but I woke up this morning and my lower back has been hurting so bad. Last night my stomach was hurting but I thought it was something I ate.So I am not sure if they are related. Yesterday we got a form from AIAA that we needed to sign and get notarized and sent back to them. When it comes to the babies in Korea they make sure that every condition of the child is noted. Chloe has two spots called cafe-au-lait spots. I know it sounds weird but they are spots that are very common in babies. They look almost like birthmarks but I guess (from what I have read online) if a child has more than 6 spots and the spots are a certain size they can signify that the child has another more serious genetic problem. So we had to sign a waiver from Korea saying that we are aware and accept the condition of the child. I know we are still waiting on Immigration clearance but from the wording on the papers it gave us that familiar feeling that it will be happening soon. Korea needs the waiver in order to get Chloe's visa. I have started to wish we were traveling to Korea to get Chloe but I know that it is best for her to be escorted. I think one trip to Korea in a year is enough. I also cannot imagine leaving Sam and Emma behind for a week. It was hard enough on me and Sam when we went to get Emma. I think it is also good that us traveling is unique to Emma's adoption. Well we just stayed home today. I was going to exercise but I am hurting too bad. I did get a video of the kids playing today. It is very rare footage because they usually start acting crazy when they see me get the camera out. Sam and Emma have been playing that they are driving a car. I also caught Emma getting mad and throwing her seat. I am trying to post the video but it is giving me trouble.

 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...
