I know you will not believe this, but I think I overdid it yesterday. Our Christmas stuff is stored under the stairs by the basement door, so I had to move several containers before I found the Christmas stuff. I also had to get the Christmas tree out to reach the containers, so I put the Christmas tree up after I got the lights around the windows. I had to move the living room furniture so I figured it would be a great time to see if the tree would fit in the space I  had made before I had the kids there to "help". It was also snowing and there was a Christmas movie on TV, so it was the perfect atmosphere to put up the tree. I did not put the ornaments on until the kids got home to help. After Sunday's busy day and yesterday my arm was hurting pretty bad last night. I am trying to rest today, but I did get some presents wrapped. I am almost done Christmas shopping, so I had a bunch of presents hidden in my closet and I was running out of space and it was hard keeping the kids out of my room. I also just wanted to to be done with wrapping. I hate wrapping presents and it is probably because I am not very good at it. I have to admit that I am envious of those that have perfect and beautiful presents wrapped under their Christmas tree :).

Well, I probably will not post again until after Thanksgiving. We are all looking forward to a few days of break. We will be staying up late and sleeping late and just being lazy tomorrow. Thursday we are heading to my parents and I am looking forward to getting out of the city for a few days and doing some shopping with my mom. I hope you all have a blessed Thanksgiving holiday.

Love to all!

A snowy afternoon (I think this picture is beautiful!)

 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...
