Yesterday went really well. My dentist appointment lasted about 2 and half hours but he was able to get everything fixed. I was not sedated this time but it did not bother me.  I kinda laughed because the dentist told me that yesterday's appointment was going to be easy but I do not consider a filling and 3 crowns and easy appointment. The numbness in my face wore off very soon after the appointment and I actually felt pretty good. My mouth was a little sore and my jaw was hurting from having my mouth open that long. The procedures were not painful they were just really noisy. There was a lot of drilling going on in my mouth. After the dentist I made a quick run to the bank and then we went to see our friend play basketball. We only stayed for one game because the kids got pretty restless. We then came home and just lounged around. Today is going to be a major cleaning day at my house. I am going to try and get to everyone's closet and get rid of things we do not wear anymore. I am about to leave in a few minutes to go to Curves. I have not been all month and I can feel it. I am then going to make a quick trip to the grocery store and then get to cleaning. Well the kids are doing great. Sam is my little helper and is very sweet to the girls. He is getting so big and he just makes me laugh all the time. The other morning Emma was whining about needing a drink and Sam said, "Mom I think she needs a 'brhd1'." He spelt these words out thinking he was spelling drink. We spell a lot of words out in our house around Emma and I guess Sam has picked up on that. Sam also is driving us crazy about putting our Christmas tree up. I have not decided if I am going to put one up this year. I do not think that Chloe and Emma will be able to keep themselves from touching it or pulling down on their head. Emma is doing good. She has been extra whiny the past few days. She is also growing up so quickly. She has really been talking lately. She is also still doing good with going potty. We switched her to pull-ups last week. We are still not pushing her to do it but she goes several times a day in the potty and is usually good about telling us when she has to go. Chloe is still adjusting and her personality is starting to shine. She still smiles all the time and has the cutest dimple under her eye. She is not really trying to say anything but I guess she has only been home 3 weeks. Well I better get going. I am going to get the laundry started started before I head out.

  "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...
