We have a busy day ahead of us today. We got up about an hour ago. We have all eaten breakfast and  are all getting ready to head out the door. I have a few errands to run so I am taking the kids to our dear friend's house to play. I am also going to go exercise while I am out. I was going to exercise after Jeremy got home from school but my friend Jennifer is having her baby today so we are going to the hospital this evening to see her baby boy Eli. Jennifer and her husband Frank work with Jeremy and I at the church with the youth group. They have two girls and now a boy and I have the boy and two girls. A few weeks ago we were somewhere together with our kids and Jennifer reminded me that we would have 6 kids between us. We both laughed at how crazy that will be. We will need a church van if we all want to go some place together. I keep forgetting to post that Emma has learned how to say "thank you" in sign language. They were watching Blue's Clues a few weeks ago and she copied Blue so Jeremy started working with her and she actually does it say "thank you". Samuel these days is all about his birthday even though it is over a month away. He is however getting an early birthday present. We are going in a few weeks to "A Day out with Thomas". Thomas the Tank Engine is coming to Nashville so we are taking him to ride the train and what ever else will be going to with he event. Well I better go Emma just bit Samuel. Anyone have any suggestions on how to get a kid to stop biting? I am sure my mom is laughing right now because I was the biter among her kids. I guess this is what I get for all the times I bit my sister and anyone else I could sink my teeth into. Oh, sorry I have not been posting any pictures of Sam and Emma the past few days. Jeremy has had the camera at school. Here are a few more pictures of Chloe that had not posted yet.

  "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...
