I know all my pictures lately have been in front of the Christmas tree but that is where the kids go when I tell them I want to take their picture. We have had quite a day. Jeremy and I are both not feeling well. We both have a major headache. All of my crud has finally started to break up so maybe I am on the mend. After church today Sam was running in the church (which we tell him ALL the time not to do) and he fell and hit his face. He hit the exact same spot as last night. He got up crying and he had split his face again. Today is Papa's birthday so we went to O'Charley's for lunch. We stopped at Wal-Mart to get some of that liquid band-aid stuff. He was screaming as I put it on him but it needed something to cover the scratch. We had a good lunch and then came home to hopefully get naps. Samuel finally fell asleep at about 3:30 and the girls slept for a few hours. Emma woke up again in one of her moods. Well we all loaded up and went back to church. We got to church and when we opened the door Emma was covered in BLOOD. Jeremy stays very calm when the kids are bleeding but there is something about seeing my kids bleeding that send me in a panic. Well it turned out it was her nose that was bleeding because she had picked it. We rushed her inside to clean her up but the kids and I came on home. She had blood all over her shirt and jacket. We came home and I got her in the bath. I am also trying to pick up around the house some tonight. I am not sure what happened around here but my house is a mess. Jeremy will be mad at me for saying this but I think it got so messy because he has been home the last four days. Well tomorrow is my last day of work. I definitely have mixed emotions. Part of me wishes I were already done so I would not have to get up in the morning. After work tomorrow I am taking Sam to get his haircut. He has not had one since that horrible Wal-Mart cut back in September. Thankfully our hairdresser is back to work. Oh, one more thing before I am done. Chloe said "momma" today. I am pretty sure she did not know what she was saying but she still said it and it made me happy. Well I better get everyone ready for bed.

  "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...
