Our trip out yesterday seemed to help everyone. We also ended up going to Target. I have not been to Target in a while and when  I left I realized it is a good thing I do not make it over there as much as I want. I love that store and I end up spending too much. I did have a gift card so I used some off the card. I bought a exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels (The Biggest Loser trainer). Well I did it yesterday when I got home and oh my I am sore. I am going for another round here in a few minutes. I guess if it is hurting maybe it is working. We got home about lunch time and it threw everyone off nap schedule. The kids all took naps at different times yesterday, but at least they took a nap. I finished going through my closet and bedroom getting rid of stuff and it felt great to make some room in my closet. After Jeremy got home we went to Logans for my birthday supper. We were going to go tonight but Jeremy has a faculty meeting and he does not know what time he will be home and tomorrow is church so it is really busy on Wednesday. We got a gift card to Logans so it was nice to get a free supper. After supper we had a gift card to Starbucks so we got another little treat. So we had a great evening and did not spend a dime. The kids slept better last night. Sam woke up once and Emma woke up at 5 AM wanting a drink but she then went back to sleep. I have to take Chloe to the doctor at 3 to get her ears checked but other than that we are not doing much. Well the kids are crawling all over me so I better go.

  "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...
