Well it has been one week ago today that we left our TN home and headed North. I have enjoyed being with my family, but I also have to admit that I am feeling kind of homesick. I know that might sound absurd since technically I am "home". I guess since I would be staying at the most familiar place in my life that I would not experience this sadness. I think it mainly stems from the fact that I am not sleeping in my own bed and we are living out of suitcases and boxes. It has also been a little stressful keeping the kids under control since almost all of their toys are packed away on a truck somewhere in Chicago.  The sadness is also coming from the fact that PVCS students are returning to school and I miss my family and students there terribly. I am praying that they have a great school year.

I worked Monday for my dad while Jeremy stayed home with the kids. I planned to work today but I had to go in to the health department to get my TB test done. I got home around 1:00 and then took a nap. My mom and I have been walking in town since Sunday, but last night we went to the local high school's track. It is really nice! Tonight we made it a family event and convinced Jeremy and Grandpa to join us. The kids have fun running around the track and it gives them a chance to work off any energy before bed. On Thursday we are heading back to Chicago with the kids to see the apartment and sign the lease. Praying we do not have any more surprises and we are able to move into this apartment. Well, I got to get everyone bathed before bed. I am hoping to post some pictures of the apartment when we get back Thursday.

Getting ready to go walk!



Guess who has been watching the Track and Filed of the Olympics?

 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...
