We finally made it to the last day of school! This school year went pretty fast even though there were times (like the month of March) that it felt like this day would never come. Chloe was up early ready to go, but Samuel and Emma were not easy to get moving this morning. Emma said that in honor of the last day of school we should just stay home :). They brought every thing home yesterday, so I am not sure what they did this morning. This afternoon they all have class parties so their day should go pretty quickly. Although I am eager to pick them up at 3:30, I am trying to enjoy my last day of a quiet house, doing chores in silence, and enjoying my lunch without interruptions. I had to get some groceries this morning and I am going to have to get a new routine this summer so I do not have to take the kids with me to get groceries. I stocked up for the week hoping that I do not have to take them to the store this week, even though I have concluded that I do not care for grocery shopping even when I am by myself. Today when I checked out the lady at the register put my bag of rice in its own bag and went on for about 5 minutes of why she makes sure the rice is in its own bag so that if the bag of rice gets a hole in it the rice will stay in the bigger bag. She was so proud of herself for doing this helpful act. She then drops my 18 count of eggs in its own bag and breaks every one of them! Oops! She sent someone to get me a new carton of eggs, but I could not think of how funny it was considering the story about the rice :).

Well, I guess since I posted three times this week there is not too much to write about. Please continue to pray for us and Jeremy's job. I woke up this morning with another huge and painful fever blister on my lower lip. None of my remedies that usually keep them controlled is working. Truthfully I am anxious, but I do not feel like I am in a complete panic. I say that because usually at this point I am in a complete panic. I feel for the most part I have been approaching this situation in lots of prayer and pleading to God to show His plan instead of wringing my hands and a complete mess from worry. I know 100% that God has a plan and working out the details even if we cannot see evidence of those plans yet.

 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...
