Today I am thankful that it is FRIDAY:) I am thankful that I already got my grocery shopping done today so I do not have to go over the weekend. Getting groceries in our apartment each time is quite a chore. I took a picture of the kids going down the stairs that we have to go up and down every time we leave or come home. It is just so tough when getting groceries because you have to make so many trips to even get them in the house. The door to the outside locks automatically, so we usually have a kid holding the door, but we have to climb the front porch steps then the stairs to our apartment. It is nice when that task is done for the week. I am also thankful that we found out from our realtor that the family living in the house may be able to close on it within 6 months! Our closing date right now is not until the last day of September 2013. It would be awesome to get the house finally out from under us and it would help financially because the rent they are paying does not cover our entire mortgage.

Well, tomorrow I will no longer have two 5 year olds. My Emma will be 6 years old! It is supposed to be nice tomorrow so we may go to the zoo or park. We are having her party next weekend with my parents and we are going to the circus next weekend as her birthday present:) I am hoping to get some things organized more in our house these next few days. It is going to be tough, but I really need to give away so many articles of clothing. Why is it so hard on us girls to part with our clothes?! Our closets are just stuffed with things and it really is driving me crazy. It would also be helpful if I had a couple of book shelves and a couple of standup dressers, but those will not be purchased any time soon so I need to just focus on getting rid of things we do not wear or use. Tonight is our family movie night so we will be watching Madagascar 3 with the kids and Jeremy and I are finally watching the new Madea movie:)

So as I am writing, Jeremy comes home with the mail. He is holding a packet full of the sweetest notes from my 1st graders from last year! I am so thankful for Miss Howell sending them to me! I love and miss my kids and all my family at PVCS and it is nice to know they miss me too:) MADE MY DAY!!:)

Last day being 5! It is funny how much squinted her eyes are in the morning when she is still sleepy:) They look like they are closed!

 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...
