Today I am thankful that I am in the same building every day with my husband and my kids. Yesterday I was having a rough day because of lack of sleep the past few nights and I have been in a lot of pain. Jeremy brought me a coffee from Starbucks (which is across the street:) during his lunch break. Today Emma had an accident trying to make it to the bathroom:( I was glad I could help her get cleaned up and talk her down from her complete break-down. I am thankful that I am feeling a little better today.

Since we have moved to the city I have pretty much been around other believers. Many people at our school are fellow believers and it has been pretty "easy" to be a good witness. I am pretty sure most of my kids in class do not come from Christian homes and I have starting to build some relationships with their parents and hoping to be that witness to them. Well, the past few days I have had to deal with a real pain in the rear (if I can be so bold!) In the afternoon I have a helper from the YMCA and Mon, Tues, Thurs, and Friday I have two different ladies who help me and they are great to be around. On Wednesday and on the end of each day right before I leave a young man comes in to work on Wednesday and helps with the afterschool care at school. He is a young college guy and I am not sure what is going on but this week he has been a real jerk to me about certain "issues". None of them are not even religious but have political (gag) (Oh, I mentioned that I thought George W. was a cutie) and today it was about celebrating Thanksgiving for crying out loud! If you know me I am the least confrontational person so I am not even provoking these conversations and I really haven't even said anything back to his comments but he seems to "ticking me off" (his words) and I think he is enjoying it. I just need prayers concerning this guy. As I said, he is a young college guy who does not want to have a legitimate conversation and I want to keep my testimony. I guess because I simply asked a question about his statements he thinks he is making me mad. Anyway, I am praying for wisdom on how to deal with this guy if he continues to act this way. I have been working with him since the beginning of the school year and I never had any of these issues with him:( It has not helped that my mood has not been the best because of my lack of sleep and the extra pain. He does not realize that I have been in the best of mood before his ridiculous comments.

Here is a hazy view of the kid's school pictures from this year:)

 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...
