The kids seem to be feeling better this morning. They all slept pretty good but it was probably because they had so much medicine in them. Jeremy however was up most if the night coughing. Emma and Chloe's rash seems to be almost gone. The kids actually seem pretty hyper in the day and then about 5:00 they start feeling bad again and the fever returns. I am really hoping they all are on the mend. My plan for today is to disinfect everything. We went to Jeremy's parents last night for our Christmas with them. Sam and Austin played and played. They had so much fun. The kids got a lot more toys and other neat things. We got a year zoo pass and we are very excited about that gift. The Nashville Zoo is not exactly the best zoo I have been to, but the kids like it and we have a fun time when we do go. The kids also got a Dora tent from Janna and Brandon. When they opened it I knew it was going to be big and I was not sure were we would put it. I thought it would fit in the girl's room. We got home and put it up and it is HUGE! It is not going to fit in any body's room. The kids love it though and it is pretty nice. The kids are actually watching a movie in there right now. It is big enough that the kids and I could sleep in it with no problem. In fact we may have a sleep-over in it tonight. Our church is having a New Year's Eve thing tonight but I do not think I will get out with the kids. The teens are also having something so Jeremy will need to be there. So I think the kids and I will have a little party at home. Jeremy is supposed to be going to the Music City Bowl today with his dad and brothers but I am not sure how he is feeling. My plan today is get everything cleaned and put away but those are pretty big plans. I bought the sound track from the movie Mamma Mia and it actually makes cleaning pretty fun and it is good exercise. Well I better get moving if I am going to get anything done today. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes for us.

  "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...
