We had a good weekend. Sunday we went to church and then tried out a new restaurant. It is called Sabor a Cafe. It is a Columbian steak house and it is a little place in walking distance from our house. It was really, really good. The kids ordered from the kid's meal and the chicken they ordered came with "special spice sauce" but when it their meals came it was only ketchup. Jeremy made a comment to me about they probably did not give them the sauce because we were white:) I thought he said because "they" (the kids were white) and I agreed with him. It hit me that when I thought he said the kids were white that I totally forget sometimes that they are Asian! After lunch we came home and took a nap. We then watched the Bears game. Chloe woke up Sunday morning with a fever but it did not last long so we still got her out. Sunday night the fever returned and she was just pitiful. I slept with her Sunday night in case she had a rough night. Monday we all stayed home and I was able to go through a few more boxes and get the closets cleaned out some. Monday night we got our first snow shower and the kids went wild! It was so pretty coming down! It was just a dusting and nothing major, but it was still exciting to see!Tuesday the kids and I were home again but I did try to get some rest. Jeremy had to go into school and he picked up the kid's report cards. They all did amazing and I am so proud of them. Last night before bed Emma started coughing and running a fever. I am starting to think there is something in the house that is making us all sick! The girls and I have had a sore throat, congestion, fever, or some form of sickness since we moved in. My back has also been killing me the past few weeks. Today it even hurts to sick or lay down:( I would ask that you pray for us to start getting healthy. I am struggling because I hate missing work! I hate calling in and when the kids have to be out I am the one that needs to stay with them. I know things will go on without me:) but I hate knowing that people depend on me to be at work and I have to keep calling in!

I am thankful that the past two days the kids got along pretty good with each other. They even played a game together.



IT IS SNOWING!!!

 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...
