Thursday, February 3, 2011- Day 96

-
It has been a crazy day! I have not gone to school this many days in a row in so long I am pretty wiped out. I did really well today with my eating and I drank all my water ( something I have not been doing). I also tried to be better about eating enough. Last night I went to Curves and I did p90X with Jeremy. I woke up at midnight and I was so weak and dizzy from being hungry. I ate a banana and a Tbs of peanut butter (my new favorite snack) and felt so much better. I am about to watch "Bones" and then we are going to exercise.

Well the kids and I went to the store after school and they got their Valentine's cards for school. They were so excited but then Emma says "Mom, what are these for anyway." She cracks me up! We got home and there was a box from Grandma and Grandpa was waiting on the porch with all sort of Valentine goodies. After supper I told Sam and Emma that we needed to call Grandma and thank her. I was cleaning up from supper and I heard Sam in the living room praying. This is how it went "Dear God could you please send Grandma a message telling her I said 'Thank You'. He then says, "Ok mom I told God to tell her, that was so much easier." So I say, "Sam I do not think God delivers messages like that. " His response, "Mom He can send one of His angels to tell her. They are His messengers." I can see how he would think they could deliver his message. Well here are some pictures I took of their Valentines and the loot from their box.

    Hi Kim,
    I am enjoying your blog so much. The pictures you posted are worth a thousand words. I can see the excitement each child felt with the gifts they received. They are so darling! I feel a part of your family as I read your blogs. Keep it up!

 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...
