Well I have decided that I can no longer take naps on Sunday afternoons. I took a great nap yesterday, but I think I slept 3 hours last night. I tossed and turned until about 2 am and I was just about to doze off and our bedroom door flung open (scaring me to death) and Sam announces he has to go to the bathroom. Emma realizes she is now in the bed by herself and starts crying. So, Sam and I went to their bed and Emma and Jeremy were in our bed. I then went back to sleep and had to get up at 5:30 to get to work. It was pouring down rain and so I had everyone covered up, two bags and my purse, and Emma in my arms. We are about to go out the door and Sam drops his cup on the floor spilling juice all over the dining room floor. I had to put everything down and clean it up. I got the kids to Gran and Papa's house and then got stuck in traffic on my way to work. Not exactly a great start to the week. I worked all day and then I met Jeremy and the kids at Wendy's for supper and Sam and I went and got a haircut. Sam's hair had gotten really long but my friend Jennifer cuts our hair and she is kinda busy right now with her new baby. So, I took a chance and I went to the walk in place in Wal-Mart. I cut my hair off. I was just so tired of fooling with it. Well my hair looks ok, but Sam looks kinda silly. I guess that sounds mean, but his hair looks like it was painted on. Thankfully his hair grows pretty quickly. He did very good sitting still during his hair cut. He also looks pitiful because he fell Friday at Gran's house and scrapped his nose. He has a big scab down his nose. It is weird because when you look at him from far away he looks like he missing his nose, it is really strange.Well I am going to bed. The kids and I are staying in most of the day tomorrow. It is supposed to rain most of the day so maybe they will sleep in tomorrow.

  "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...
