I did not realize I had not posted since Wednesday. Thursday was a crazy morning with our class parties. It was awesome, but I was worn out when I got home. I was also a little too emotional to blog. It was hard saying good-bye to one of my students and it just reminded me that my time at my school is quickly coming to an end. It is a great joy for me to see my students move on from grade to grade or see them around the community and I realized as I told my sweet girl that I would see her around somewhere it was probably not true. Friday the teachers had a work day so I was at school getting everything ready for when we return in January. Friday night we went and got new phones (Merry Christmas to us). We switched phone companies and for some reason neither one of our phones would work Friday night. We had a showing of our house Saturday morning, so the rest of Friday night was spent scrubbing and cleaning. The showing went great and our realtor said she would not be surprised if we got an offer, so we will see. I know we need to sell the house, but it actually makes my stomach hurt! If we do sell it before spring we are not sure where we would live until we move and I love my little house. Saturday morning Jeremy and Emma headed to Clarksville to get our phones working and I took Sam and Chloe to Dunkin 'n Donuts while the house showed. We all then came home and just rested. Yesterday we went to church and then came home and ate lunch. I then went to get some groceries and finished up my last items for Christmas. I then came home and rested. I love having a break, but I also knew that the pain would be hitting me. After the stress has left my life the pain in my body takes over. I guess with all the stress these past four months would explain why I have not hurt like this in a long time. Saturday night I did not sleep good at all. My PM pain medicine did not do a thing to help! I am hoping to get some relief before we leave for Illinois. Well, we do not have much planned for today. Jeremy is out this morning meeting with someone at our church about our Chicago service. I have an eye doctor's appointment this afternoon, but we are not getting the kids out:)

These past few days I have been thankful for people that make a differnce in my life. I am thnakful for those who were placed in my life through the various stages in my life to help me and encourage me and make me who I am today. I am thankful for God's perfect gift that was born into this world to bring us hope, joy, and peace. I am thankful that in just a few days I will be in Illinois with all my family.

 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...
