Monday, February 21, 2011-Day 78

-
I know, I know, I have not blogged in two days and I totally missed my next ten day check  in.  On top of being swamped with EVERYTHING my computer is acting all weird. It has been hard to post on here. It freezes up every few seconds so please over look any thing that does not make sense. I will be typing along and not even realize that the little pinwheel is just a turning. So there is not much to report on my next ten days. I only lost 1 pound and I only exercised 4 days. I have done really well since Saturday about making wise eating choices. I am actually all about eating yogurt these days. I know it will not last but that is what I like eating. I told my sister maybe I can be like that girl on that commercial a few years back where she fit into her little poke-a- dot bikini just by eating yogurt:) Well I will skip the bikini, but it would be nice not feeling like a beached whale this time when we go to the beach:) Saturday was spent cleaning the house and getting some school work done. It also involved a 4 hour nap for me. I really have been wiped out lately. Even after taking a nap I went to sleep fine Saturday night. Yesterday was church and then after lunch I took a three hour nap. I should be caught up on my sleep pretty soon. Well, today I took the kids to a dear friend's house. I went to exercise and then I had planned on getting some things for my trip. After I got done exercising I made an impulsive decision to get my hair cut. It usually takes me forever to decide to cut it and when I do cut it my dear friend, Jennifer, is the only one to cut it. I knew if I did not act I would not cut it. So, I went into a Super Cuts and got it cut off. I found out a few weeks ago that it will be 90 degrees in Guatemala and we will be doing a lot of work outside so the hair had to go. I like it and I am sure I will grow it back out by the winter.

I guess I better get going. The girls are napping so I need to get some things done around the house. We have our community group tonight and then we go full force again tomorrow.

 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...
