Thursday's have turned into my laundry at the laundromat day. I am not sure who is wearing all of these clothes :), but each week seems to be more and more clothes to wash! I am also not quite sure what was up with me this morning, but I woke up at 6:00 this morning ready to go. The alarm clocks start going off each morning at 5:00 because Jeremy has to leave so early to get to school, but it usually doesn't wake me up enough where I cannot go back to sleep. I woke up and decided to do one load of laundry downstairs so I would not have to drag as much to the laundromat. Jeremy couldn't understand why I was up doing housework and Chloe got up at 6:45 asking me why I am awake in the middle of the night :). I took the kids the school and then headed to do laundry. After laundry I went to Target to get a few things, but I always get so distracted in that store and I ended up buying more than a few things. I just got home a few minutes ago and plan on spending the rest of the day putting all the clothes away and finishing tackling that mound of unmatched socks (yeah, I didn't conquer it last week). I have also got hooked on watching American Pickers for some reason,  so I have a few episodes to watch.

I realized that I have not taken any pictures of the kids in from of the Christmas tree. This morning we had plenty of time but my children were not being very cooperative. Chloe didn't want to get in the picture. Samuel kept shoving the girls and for some reason Emma bends her head back or closes her eyes or does both EVERY TIME I TAKE HER PICTURE! So, this is the best I could get.




When I got back from home today I noticed that one of the kids rearranged the nativity scene next to the TV. I thought it was so sweet the way it was moved where all of the figures have their attention on baby Jesus. I just thought it was sweet picture!

 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...
