We are having a pretty good day. Everyone seems to be back on schedule. Yesterday the kids slept in until 8:30 and then the girls took a three hour nap yesterday afternoon. I went to Curves yesterday morning and then the kids and I just stayed home and played. We were able to get outside for a few hours so that was nice. I got most of my laundry done but I am still getting it all put away. The kids slept pretty good last night. I heard a bump against the wall at about 1 AM and then I heard Emma crying. She must of bumped her head or something. Her crying then woke Chloe up but they all went back to sleep pretty quickly. We all slept until about 7:30 this morning. I got up and went to Curves again and then when I got home I walked with my friend so I have had a lot of exercise today. Jeremy went up to the Christian school to have lunch with some of the kids from youth group so we are just hanging around the house. This afternoon we are going to Opry Mills to have supper with my mom's cousin. She is coming in from Memphis with her granddaughters and they wanted to see my kids. Well here are some pictures from the Aquarium. I have a few more but I will post them tomorrow. As soon as we got to the aquarium there was a lady standing there with a snake. My fearless Emma wanted to touch it. Sam put on a brave face and they both got to touch the snake. The other pictures are from the sting ray tank. They have some sting rays that you can touch. Once again Emma just stuck her hand in the water and wanted to touch one. Sam was not so sure but he ended up touching one. Well I better go. I still have a few thing to do before we leave.

  "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...
