We are now on plan Z to get our kids to sleep anywhere other than our bed. Last night they slept for a few hours in Sam's bed but Emma woke up screaming. Jeremy went in there and Sam was sprawled out on the entire bed. Emma was trying to push him over but he would not budge. So, she ended up in our bed. We did manage to keep Sam in his bed all night. In fact he did not wake up once. I got up at 5 and went to Curves to exercise when they opened at 6. After I exercised I then went on to work. I was almost to work and I realized that I had both car seats. We have been using the car because the air is not working in the van and the car gets better gas milage. I guess we are going to have the van looked at on Monday. Oh, back to the car seats, Jeremy and the kids were going to meet some friends for lunch so I did not know what to do. Our friends were coming into town from Alabama and we have not seen them in three years. I had to work but Jeremy was going to meet them. So I called Jeremy's dad and they brought the car seat they use to our house. I had to work an eight hour day so I am pretty tired. I was going to exercise tonight but Jeremy has softball tournaments this weekend so I decided to get it in this morning. After work I went to Wal-Mart for some juice and I found some new Thomas the Train pajamas for Sam. That child is getting too big. All of his jammies are getting too small. I came home to find the kids playing with a container that used to hold Maggie's dog treats. Jeremy washed it out and the kids have been playing with it all afternoon. They put sam's trains in it and then try to take turns sitting on it like a chair. They have a thousand toys and they want to play with a dog treat container! Well we are just hanging out at the house tonight. I have to work tomorrow so I guess I will try to get to bed early again tonight. I am going to try to exercise tomorrow before work but I am kinda sore. I guess I will see how I feel in the morning. Oh, Emma has learned how to gargle. That is why her shirt is wet in most of the pictures. She will gargle her juice or milk and most of it then runs out of her mouth. Fun times.

"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...
