It has been a crazy morning. We had some freezing rain last night but Nashville schools did not cancel school today. The counties around us cancelled but Jeremy had school. He was up early watching the news thinking that they would cancel. He called his principal and she told him wait and come in a few hours later. The kids heard him up so they all woke up. Jeremy left about an hour ago and he said that the roads were fine. Our porch and sidewalk is pretty icy but the roads are just wet. The girls are taking their morning nap and Sam is watching cartoons. I got the living room, kitchen, and Sam's room cleaned this morning so I am off to a good start. I am leaving at 3:00 with Chloe. We are going to pick Jeremy up at school and then we have to go to our adoption agency for our first post placement visit. We will be meeting with another social worker. Our friend is coming to stay with Sam and Emma. I am very thankful she is coming. When we were at the agency last time getting Chloe's referral Sam and Emma went crazy in the little meeting room. Our meeting is at 4:30 and I am hoping it will not take long. Well I know that I should not feel different because I am off every Tuesday, but I just feel weird knowing that I will not be going back to work. I turned in my key yesterday and it was just really sad. Well I am going to get ready while the girls are sleeping. You can see from the picture that we have another new sleeping arrangement in our house. We will keep trying until something works. The kids are sleeping sideways in the bed. I put a rail up at the end of the bed and Emma is sleeping at the end and then Chloe is at the head of the bed. It gives them so much more room. Chloe flops around so much that she was waking Emma up. Sam has slept in between them the last two nights and so far so good. We are hoping this will help everyone get more sleep around here.

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 ...
