We have been enjoying our break so far. This crazy weather has given us all a stuffy nose and stratchy throat, but nothing to severe. Yesterday our good friend took Sam and Emma to Chuck E Cheese. She was going to take Chloe too, but I did not think it would go too well. So, Chloe and I went to lunch and her favorite store, Wal-Mart. This moring we opened presents with our family and we plan on leaving tomorrow for Illinois. The kids loved their presents, except Chloe was a little bratty after she opened her first present. They each had a small gift that I got from the "stocking stuffer" baskets at Target. They did not have any thing Mickey or Minnie Mouse so I got her this cute litte LaLa Loopsie doll. She opened it and took one look at it and through it on the floor saying "I wanted Minnie Mouse!" She is lucky I let her open the other gifts! We did not get her anything Mickey/Minnie Mouse. That is all coming on Christmas day. She has had a few good days but her attitude today will probably find her in a lot of trouble. Well I posted most of the pictures on FB from this morning, but I will post a few on here.

Well, the people that looked at the house the other day made an offer on another house. They were concerned because part of the pond is on the neighbors property. This is the third time we had the concern. It is crazy because the first time we looked at the house we did not even notice the pond!! Our neighbor is the sweetest man and there would never be any problems with him. It is making me frustrated but I am trying to remember that we are not on our plan. Still praying it sells soon!

Today I am thankful that we can buy our kids gifts. I am thankful that I will be with my whole family in a few days:)

 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...
