Yesterday we found out that there was some corrections that needed to be made to our homestudy. Our social worker called and said that they forgot to add something but I remember reading in our homestudy what they said was not in there (if that makes any sense). So, they found what they were looking for but they said there were still a few little phrases that needed to be changed. SO, our referral did NOT get sent yesterday. Our social worker was fixing the problems last night and was going to overnight the papers to Michigan and was also going to fax the corrections. We are still hoping to meet on Tuesday but it is definitely up in the air right now. We are hoping that the referral was sent out today, but if it does not get mailed today we are hoping it will be sent overnight on Monday and we can still meet Tuesday. We will probably not know anything until Tuesday. Well, the new bed in going good so far. The first night they both slept all night. Emma woke up at 5 but went right back to sleep. Last night Emma cried out at 2:30 but once again went back to sleep in the bed. They both slept until 6, but got in bed with me and we slept until 8:30. They both have not had a nap today so it has been a little crazy. Well Emma had a 30 minute nap but that does not really count. I have been cleaning and getting rid of a lot of stuff last night and today. I also have been moving furniture around in the kids rooms. My friend Jennifer has two girls, ages 7 and 4, and a new baby boy due in the next few weeks. She also has been getting rid of stuff, so she gave us this amazing play kitchen. The kids love it and they have kept themselves occupied themselves all day with it. I will try to get pictures later. Emma has been saying new words almost every day. She is starting to say simple words that Samuel started to say when he started talking so I think she is well on her way of building her vocabulary. Well, Jeremy should be home soon and I am going to go exercise. I wish I could always go in the morning but I guess I will work it in when I can.

  "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...
