I knew it had been a few days since I blogged, but I had no idea that it had been a week! I guess the truth is that most of the past week has been spent being absolutely lazy! So, there has not been much to blog about. I have not been feeling the best and I have been spending a lot of time sleeping:( We did get out Tuesday for a little while. The Chicago Bears have their training camp in my home town (well, about 15 minutes away). Jeremy took Sam on Saturday but it was warm and very crowded, so we all went Tuesday just to get out of the house for a little while. Most days the kids have stayed in their p.j.'s all day:) Jeremy and I headed to Chicago this morning again. I had to turn in all my paperwork for CPS (Chicago Public Schools) and I had an interview with the YMCA lady about the afternoon position. I will share more about that in a minute. We took Chloe with us so my mom did not have to handle all three of them at work. I know this is a shocker, but Chloe tends to get into stuff she shouldn't when I am away from her, so she was the one that awe took. I survived the CPS Human Resource office this morning, barely:) It was so crowded and I had to stand for about an hour before a seat opened up, but I got most of it done. I have to go next week for my ID. Okay back to the Y interview. I really have been blown away by how God has opened the doors concerning my work situation, but talking to the lady today it really hit me what a miracle this Y job is! This Y preK program is brand new. They have never done an off campus program. There are 600 schools in CPS and they have chosen to start this program in the exact school that we were going to be at! That my friends is a little overwhelming for me! It hit me how miraculous all this is working out! Of course I got the job:)

Well, my mom and I and the kids are heading to Michigan tomorrow. My cousin is getting married in AZ in the Fall, but they are having a bridal shower for her at her home church in MI. We will be staying with my Aunt and Uncle and will be having dinner with another Aunt and one of my other cousins that I have not seen in a while. It should be a fun weekend! Please pray for our safety.

An afternoon at the Chicago Bears Training Camp.

 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...
