Well it was back to life yesterday. I went back to work and Jeremy had some errands to run. Samuel and Emma went swimming. Samuel fell at the pool and scrapped his leg. You would of thought he broke is leg the way he was acting. His legs seem to hurt when he was asked to clean up his room or put his toys away. I put some medicine on it and a new Band-Aid and he seemed to be better. Today Jeremy had to go to school and then had new teacher orientation this afternoon. The kids and I were at a friends house staying with her two daughters. One daughter is a teenager and the other is going into 4th grade so I was basically there to make sure they got something to eat and was there just in case something happened. They have a dog named "Gracie" and Sam just loves that dog. As soon as we got there this morning he grabbed the dog and held her in his lap. He then moved to take his shoes off and let go of the death grip her had on the dog and the dog ran as fast as she could. He then cried and spent most of the morning trying to catch her. We were all in the kitchen getting lunch ready and the girls had the refrigerator opened and we turned around and Emma was sitting in the fridge. She is so silly. We also have a new nickname for her, "Linus". she walks around holding her blanket and sucking her thumb. We had a pretty good day until Jeremy called and said the car broke down. He heard a "pop" and the the car started to overheat. He made it to an exit and saw that a belt had broken around the engine. We had to have it towed and we are praying that it will be an easy fix. We are thankful that we can at least live with one car for awhile. Well, we are finally getting ready to eat supper. I am hoping to get to bed early again tonight. We are having a bit of trouble getting back to our night time schedule since returning home.

  "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...

 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 ...

About nine years ago, our family had a moving truck all packed to head to Chicago.  We had said our "goodbyes" to our family and friends.  There was still one last goodbye I had to make and it was the one I was dreading the most. It wasn't a "goodbye" to a person,  but a place and a community that I had grown to love so much.   I drove my vehicle over to the Christian school that had become such an important place in our lives. The last thing I had to pack up was the boxes I had left in my classroom.  I loaded my vehicle and walked back inside to return my key. Nobody was at the school this day, so I tucked my classroom key in an envelope and dropped it in the elementary principal's mailbox.  As the key fell into the mailbox my heart hurt so badly and the tears burst from my eyes. I loved this school so much. I loved teaching there. I loved the people I worked with, the students, and the families.  This school welcomed Jeremy and I both into their...
