We had a good weekend. Saturday night the teens from church came over and we had so much fun. We all just hung out playing games and watching movies. My kids were so hyper! Our friends Frank and Jennifer came and so they brought their girls and Samuel was soo excited that Sarah was coming to his house. He kept telling the teens that she was coming to play. One of the teens asked Sam if Sarah was his girlfriend and he proudly said, "No, momma is my girlfriend!" It was so sweet. The kids just played and played. Samuel was so hot and sweaty from playing so hard. After the teens left I thought I would never get the kids settled down. They finally fell asleep but all three were restless ALL night. I think I slept 3 hours Saturday night. Sunday after church we went to Jeremy's parents for lunch and then we came home and took a nap. Last night was the Free Will Baptist Bible College rally. Each year the churches of the northern quarterly have a rally to raise money for the college. The kids sat through the service pretty good but they started to get restless toward the end. While at the rally we saw our friends the Lewis' and where able to talk with them for a few minutes. I happened to have my camera so I got a picture of our kids together. The lighting was kinda bad so my girls' faces are kinda glowing. After the rally we took some of our teens to a new pizza place in our little town. It was really good and the kids loved it. I was so tired last night but thankfully all three kids slept through the night so I got a good 8 hours of sleep. Today we just stayed home and I got some laundry done and the kids then played in the laundry baskets. Emma was pretty fussy and bossy today but the kids played pretty good together. When Jeremy got home I went to Curves and then to Wal-Mart for a few things. It is pretty cold here again so I am not making any plans on leaving the house this week with the kids.

 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...
