A New Blog

-
Well I know it has been awhile since I posted. The truth is that we got rid of our internet at home and I have not been able to get on my blogspot, so I have started a new blog. We have been so busy!! Since the last time I posted Samuel has turned 6 years old, Emma has turned 4 years old and we have found a new church. We have started going to a church in Clarksville and we are really loving it. We have met some wonderful people and joined a small group. It really has been a great encouragement to us! There have been many other changes going on in our lives. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia a few weeks ago and so we have been trying to process this new information. I had a feeling that I might have this but I did not want to go to the doctor. I could not deal with the pain any longer and I was starting to fear that it might be something so I finally went to the doctor. I am relieved that I know but it is also discouraging that I now know I will not get better. It has forced me to stop trying to do everything on my own and I am working on listening to my body and know when I need to take a break. I have gone back to Curves and it has helped some. I cannot go full force like before but I am learning to pace myself. Well I have a ton of pictures to post but here are some from Halloween.

    I am glad you are back to blogging again. I've missed you! I am so sorry to hear about your diagnosis. I have heard that can be so painful. I will be praying for you, Kim!!

 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...
