Yesterday marked the end of the second quarter at school, so we are officially half way done with this school year and one day closer to summer break :). All of the kids made "A's" and "B's" again this quarter and I am so proud of all their hard work. Poor Emma only had one "B" and bless her heart is was in health which is basically gym. They were graded on basketball skills and Emma is like her momma, not very coordinated. Today was supposed to be a day off of school for a teacher workday, but it became a snow make-up day so everyone had to go in today. It probably worked out for the best that the kids are at school because I have to go this afternoon for a biometric screening for our insurance. The whole thing makes me a little irritated, but the worse part is that I have to fast today until after 1:30. The no food part I can handle, but not having my coffee has left me pretty grumpy and it is only 8:40. I have already figured out the nearest Starbucks to where I have to go to get the screening. Also, if you think about it, would you pray that my blood pressure will be okay when I get the screening around 1:30? I have been monitoring at home the last 7 days to take in my numbers because I just freak out every time I have my blood pressure taken at a medical setting and it makes my blood pressure pretty high.

We still do not have any update on the house, but we are motivated more than ever to get out of this apartment. Lots of new annoyances this week and the girls really need their own space. Yesterday after school Emma was so tired that she fell asleep when she got home. We took the kids out for supper last night and she fell back asleep on the way to the restaurant. When we got there she was crying because she was so sleepy and I thought for sure she was getting sick. We finally got out of her that the last two nights Chloe has been getting up two or three times in the night and turning the lights on! Chloe is bad about waking Sam and Emma both in the mornings if she wakes up first, but now waking them up in the night is just too much. We are planning on going to look at 3-4 houses tomorrow afternoon with our realtor. The houses are a little bit farther from our neighborhood and the kid's school, but we have gotten permission to keep the kids at their school since Jeremy has an administrative position for CPS. The school can change their mind if the kids are absent or tardy frequently, but that should not be a problem. The nice thing about the houses we are looking at is that there are so many more houses in our price range and most of them are move in ready. This whole situation with the house we put an offer on has been pretty frustrating and I really wish the bank would just decide, but I have peace that I WILL be getting out of this apartment soon and that God is preparing our perfect house. As always, I will keep you updated.




Trying to remember this during this stressful house hunt

 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...
