My alarm went off at 5:30 Friday morning and with the suggestion of Jeremy I did not go into work. I had a rough night Thursday. My head was hurting so bad that I was in tears. As I laid there in pain I knew that this physical pain was coming. We had been through emotional, financial, mental, and spiritual pain, so it only made sense that we would be entering into a time of physical pain (on top of the fibro pain). My principle was completely understanding about me not going in. I hated to lose the money, but I could not imagine being with kids all day feeling so bad. Emma also started to complain of a sore throat and a headache. We rested most of the day Friday and we both seemed a little better Saturday morning. We took the kids to the park because it was such a nice day and then headed to Aldi to get some groceries. We got back home and took a nap. Emma was restless all her nap and when she woke up she had a 104.2 fever! I was pretty panicked. I do not think any of my kids ever had a fever that high. We do not have our insurance cards yet, but Jeremy rushed out of the house with her and took her to an urgent care facility. She has tonsillitis:( She is still running a fever on and off and her throat is still sore. She also is loosing her voice so her already scratchy voice is really scratchy now:) Emma and I stayed in from church today and I am still not feeling very good. If you are a doctor reading this please look away, I have some medicine from my last sickness that I have started taking this morning.

Well, the delegates will be taking a vote in the next 30 minutes to decide if we will go back to school tomorrow. It really could go either way. The only benefit of not going tomorrow is that Jeremy can stay home with Emma if she is still not better. I cannot thank everybody enough for the prayer and cards and financial assistance that has been given to us this week. It is a great feeling to open our tiny mailbox and see that family and friends are thinking of us. Please continue to pray for us and that we can all return to work soon!

 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...
