Wednesday, February 13, 2013- Juicing Day 5

IMG_6345

So, this was my supper tonight. In this exact form. I lost 2 more pounds this morning, but Jeremy and I both are growing weary of only drinking juice. We juiced for breakfast and lunch, but by this afternoon our bodies were ready for something different. So tonight we had some chicken broth and I had a bowl of real fruit that I had to chew with my teeth. We still plan to juice tomorrow for breakfast and lunch and start easing back into eating real food again at supper time for the next few days. It is a little disappointing that we did not go the full 10 days, but I  sure did better than I thought :) I did eat the strawberries without a bit of sugar and that is actually a victory for me :) My hope is to use this healthy start and stick to Weight Watchers until I reach my goal.

Not much going on today. The kids are excited about the Valentine's Day activities at school. They got a card in the mail (along with a little money) from our dear friends Steve and Bev Parks. We LOVE getting mail from TN! It keeps reminding us of all the friends and family that are thinking and praying for us and that we are not forgotten :) Well here are a few pictures of the kids from tonight.

 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...
