Emma could not decide on blue or pink so she wanted both!

So, we are on snow day number 11 ,I believe. It is so pretty outside but it is also so cold the kids cannot go out in it to play. We may let them go out if it warms up some. I am once again getting the house cleaned up even though it is a losing battle with all of us home. I am also trying not to stress about to things I need to be at tonight but will not be  going to either one of them. There is a Guatemala meeting that was scheduled for Monday but was rescheduled because of the  weather. I am hoping they will reschedule this meeting as well. My second class that I am taking in Nashville also starts tonight. I have already talked to my teacher (who I know pretty well) and she totally understands and told me she would get me informed on what I miss. I just hate missing, especially the first night of class. I am really bad about getting all worked up when I miss something that I am supposed  to be at, I feel like a slacker even when there is no way that I can make it. There have been mornings that I have woken up sick and I am still trying to drag myself into work, of course Jeremy always makes me get back in the bed. So, I am really hoping the class tonight will also be cancelled. The sun is shining here but it is so cold that the roads are still covered.

Well, even though I have been home I have done pretty good with not eating all morning. For breakfast I just had a cup of coffee. I was not very hungry because I was all worked up about the possibility of missing class. For lunch I had a whole wheat tortilla shell with an apple and 1 tsp of peanut butter. It is very yummy and it is only 3 points in WW! I put the PB on the tortilla and warm it up for 30 sec. then cut the apple up and put it in the tortilla. Roll it up and enjoy! Well I better get going. I need to put the kids down for a nap and I will probably join them:)

 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...
