I cannot believe it is already November! Where has this year gone? I am happy to report that I am feeling much better. I had a pretty good weekend and I have felt pretty good these past few days. I think the new medicine might be working! I am in a little less pain, but there are a few things I have noticed. One I seem to be a little bit forgetfull. I really have to write things down if I am going to remember to get them done. I have also noticed that I get a little bit more aggrevated with people. It has not been too bad, but I find myself speaking my mind a little more. I am not sure if that has anything to do with the medicine, though:) I know I have not posted much about the Sensa recently, but it is still going well. I really did not do it the past few weeks because I had enough to worry about, but I did lose 10 pounds and I am feeling so much better (minus all the muscle pain:)I realize that losing weight is going to be a slow process for me so I have resolved that even if I only lose 1 pound a week it will be better than gaining.

We did not go Trick-or Treating last night, but we did some fun things over the weekend. We went to a festival at a local FWB church Saturday night and we went to our old church Sunday night for a fall festival. The kids got to dress up both nights and had a blast! The pictures from the weekend are below.

Well, we are planning on taking a trip to Chicago on Friday and stay for the weekend. The alternator went out in Jeremy's vehicle yesterday so we are trying to get that fixed. My van would not make it to Chicago! Please pray we can get it fixed and for a cheap as possible. The kids and I are still at school waiting for our ride!

 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...
