OK, so today has been the hardest so far. Emma had a doctor's appointment this morning at 9. Emma and Chloe decided to take turns sleeping last night. Chloe and I went to sleep at 7:50 last night and I thought I was going to get a great nights sleep. Well at about 12:30 Chloe started crying and tossing around until about 4:00 this morning. Emma woke up at about 1 AM and went back to sleep about 4:15. So, they both were extremely cranky this morning. Chloe cried and wanted me to hold her all morning. We finally got out the door and I had all the kids loaded in the van and I realized that Maggie was still outside on her leash. So I got out of the van to put Maggie in the house and Chloe was screaming her head off. We got to the doctor and my friend met me there to take Samuel. The girls did pretty good at the doctor. Emma was so good. She had to get two shots but she handled it fine. She is really tiny (not like those who know her did not already know that). She only weighs 21 pounds and she is almost 33 inches long. She is in the zero percentile for her weight and in the 20% for her height. Her BMI is only 1. She is growing at a great rate so the doctor said there was nothing to worry about. He also called in some medicine for Emma's cold. Well I better get off here. The kids are pretty wild tonight.

  "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...
