Disappointed is the word today. We got a call at 1:30 saying that our paperwork had not been received at our adoption agency. Our social worker said that even if the referral came in this afternoon they would not have time to go through it and do what they need to do this evening. So we made plans to go tomorrow afternoon. Our social worker said she would call if the papers came in today. Well I got a call at 2:30 from our social worker saying that she talked to AIAA and they did not even send the referral yesterday like they said they did. WHAT? They did say that the papers were sent today and are scheduled to be delivered at our agency at 10:00 tomorrow morning. So, we should be good for tomorrow but who knows. Jeremy had a change a plan today at his school. He is now teaching the fourth grade instead of first grade. The fourth grade teacher took a different position so the grade became open. I know Jeremy would have done great teaching 1st grade but it was going to be difficult and and totally different than what he was used to teaching. Fourth grade is a little closer to junior high. I guess the new 1st grade teacher had a nice clean room that we spent two days cleaning and getting ready. The other fourth grade teacher actually goes to church at The Donolson Fellowship so that is neat. Well I need to get something together for supper. I was not planning in being here tonight for supper. Then we are off to church. Here are a few pictures of my precious Sam and Emma. Oh, they slept ALL night in their bed, Yeah!

  "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...
