We have had a great day celebrating Jeremy. Words cannot begin to describe what a wonderful husband and daddy Jeremy is to us. I am very thankful that in our unique journey to become parents that we have been a great team. I am thankful for how hard Jeremy works and even at the end of a long day he takes the time to play catch with Sam or play on the Wii with the girls and read with the kids. We are very blessed to call him ours.

I do have to admit that I had a little bit of a break down this morning during church. You know when you let a few tears run out and then all of a sudden you are crying and you can't stop crying and then you realize that you are just crying and you can't tell anyone why you are crying? Samuel was extremely worried about why I was crying but the more he asked me why I was crying the worse it got! A week from today I am supposed to take the girls down to Camp Hope for the week. We have been planning on going for several months. A few weeks ago Jeremy's car started acting weird and he knew it was only a matter of time before the thing went caput. He took it in to be looked at and it is going to cost more to fix than what the car is worth. It is not wise for him to get off and on the bus in his school's neighborhood, so he has been getting rides back and forth to school. He is going to need the working car over the next few weeks so we knew we would need to rent a car to go to camp. After checking rates plus the camp fees for both girls I had decided that we could not spend that extra money and I guess the whole discussion this morning took whatever strength I had left to hold it together. Thankfully those needs have been met and it looks like I will be able to take the girls after all, but this morning I just let the tears fall. I do want to thank you for praying and for your kind words of encouragement :).

We came home after church and had a yummy lunch of steaks, corn on the cob, and asparagus cooked on the grill. We also had twice baked potatoes and finished it off with Mt. Dew cake. The weather today has been absolutely beautiful so the kids played in the sprinkler for a few hours. The rest of the day has been being lazy and we are looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow morning.

We Love you Daddy!

Our Father's Day card! Guess what cards the kids want for their next birthday? :) 

Our wonderful day

 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...
