The kids are still coughing today but they all seem to be feeling better. Emma did not run a fever at all yesterday. I had a pretty rough night sleeping so I am pretty tired today. I thought the girls were sleeping good the past few nights but I guess the cold medicine I was on knocked me out. Emma had been waking up between 3-4 AM and Jeremy was getting up with her. He has training the last three days so he did not have to leave as early to get to school so he did not mind. So last night I took the night duty for Jeremy. Emma was coughing pretty bad last night so I thought I would just sleep with the girls. They both snored and carried on so much that I ended up in Samuel's bed. Emma cried out several times and one time she threw a fit because she wanted to sleep on the couch. Thankfully I got her calmed down and she went back to sleep. Emma fit however woke up Chloe and Chloe thought it was time to play. She kept sitting up in the bed and laughing and playing. It was cute but not at 3:00 in the morning. I finally got Chloe back to sleep and we all slept until bout 7:15. We are all dressed and we are going to go to Target. I have a gift card left from Christmas and I have a return to make to Target. I get the kids some popcorn and they are really good. I ended up getting out yesterday for a few minutes but I wish I hadn't. I was going crazy so I decided to make a run for Sonic and get a drink. I was seriously craving a Diet Coke. We got to Sonic and I got my drink and I got the kids from fries and everyone was happy. I pulled out onto the road and realized that my drink was about to fall over so I went to grab it and I accidentally hit the straw right through the bottom of the cup. The Diet Coke was pouring out of the bottom all over the floor in my van. It was also pouring all over the bag that had the girl's fries in it so they were also ruined and the girls were not happy that I threw them out. I just went back home and got them a snack. I am hoping my day out today will go better. It is kinda warm here today so I am also going to see about taking the kids outside to play. Well I am going to finish getting around here and get to the store. One note about the picture of the three kids, we started letting Sam get his pajamas out at night and well they never seem to match. So that is why is outfit is so silly. Also, my two favorite quotes from Sam this week, "Mom, you have too many children" and "Mom, I think this frog in my throat is trying to choke me".

  "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...
