We have had a pretty good week. The week has actually flown by quite fast. I have been feeling much better than last week and I was connected with a lady at our school that also has fibromyalgia and I was able to get the information from her about the doctor she sees and gets treatment from. This is a huge blessing because, well, I have not been to the doctor about my fibro since we moved here. I ran out of one of my meds about 3 months ago and I am hoping to find a doctor that will be able to help me manage my pain more. I also want to thank everyone that prayed about my sleeping situation. I have slept great this past week. I have not heard our landlord and have not been woken up in the middle of the night at all this week :). The kids have had a great week at school and we are all ready to enjoy a three-day weekend! I actually get to have the awesome opportunity to go to Kansas City to  see one of my dearest friends, Susan, and meet her sweet baby girl who was born in September! Jeremy bought me a ticket a few months ago for my birthday present and I am so excited to get to spend some time with my friend. I would, however, ask that you would pray for me as I travel. Those that know me know that I HATE to fly! And this is the first time I will be flying all by myself, YIKES! Please pray that my nerves are calm and that I will have no trouble getting to where I need to be. I would also ask that you would pray that I would use this weekend to be encouraged and recharged as I have a break from my kids for a few days. As a mom I long for time by myself, but I also know that when I have time to myself I fret and worry about my kids! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Here are a few pictures from this morning.

 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...
