Well once again I had a hard time falling asleep last night. Sam and Emma slept pretty good. Sam got up some time this morning and climbed in bed with us and then Emma started crying so Jeremy went to Emma's bed with her and Sam and I stayed in our bed. I had to be at work early so I picked the kids up out of bed and took them straight to the van. They were so sleepy. I dropped them off at Gran and Papa's house and Emma started screaming. I guess she got used to being with me all weekend. It made me sad to see her so upset. I was planning on leaving the kids at Gran's house after I got off work at noon and go exercise and get my house clean but I decided to go ahead and pick them up when I got off work. We came home and I started on the massive mound of laundry. Emma took a little nap and then I took the kids to a friend's house so I could go to Curves. After I got done exercising I went in to get the kids and while I was picking them up I missed a call from our social worker. She left a message that she wanted to talk to us about some documentation she received from AIAA (our agency in MI). I immediatly called her back but she was already gone. My first gut reaction was, "Something is wrong". I talked to the secretary at our agency and she said that she cannot imagine that it was something bad if she did not say it was urgent or she would of stayed around if there was some kind of problem. My mind is just whirling with things it could be about. She will not be in until after 10 tomorrow, so I am just trying to stay calm. It may just be an update or something. Well, Jeremy and I are going to fill out some more grants for Chloe's adoption. I am going to TRY to go to sleep early tonight. I have to have the cats at the vet tomorrow. It is going to be very interesting. I have to figure out how to get two cats in a cage and my two kids in the vet without incident. I am guessing it will be a pretty funny sight. Here are some more pictures from the weekend.

  "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...
