We are having a great time at the beach! Our morning started pretty early. After breakfast we went down to the beach for an hour or so and then came back to the house for a church service. We sang some songs and Randy gave a devotion. After our service we all went to the pool. The guys played tennis, but it is soo hot outside they only played one game. It amazes me how much Sam and Emma have grown since last year. They both are like little fish in the water. We have to watch Emma extra close because she is fearless when it comes to the water. She wanted to get farther and farther out in the ocean and if we took an eye off her for a second she would be heading out. Chloe is not so fond of the ocean. There is a kiddie pool that she liked to hang out in and got in the big pool with her vest on for a few minutes, but she wants nothing to do with the ocean. We have been here one full day and Sam already as dark as can be! He usually does not get this dark until the end of the summer! I know we are ALL going to sleep great tonight!

This afternoon at lunch Chloe said she needed to go to the bathroom so I sent her upstairs because someone was in the downstairs bathroom. I finished my lunch and we were all sitting around talking. I went upstairs to get my swim stuff because we were about to go back to the beach and the child was still sitting on the toilet! She had been yelling for me for who knows how long to wipe her bottom and I had completely forgotten that she was up there! I felt terrible and I guess because of all the trouble yesterday she did not want to get down without her bottom being wiped.

 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 ...

  "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...

Wednesday, October 26, 2011- You are cordially invited...to my pity party

Okay. So life has been hard these past few weeks. Well, maybe not life in general, but I have been having a rough time. So, I am choosing to have myself a little pity party. If you would like to join me, keep reading. I do not talk much about my fibromyalgia. One, I do not like to complain and I feel like I am just a big complainer when I do talk about it. Two, the truth is that if you do not have it you cannot fully wrap your mind or sympathy around the pain I feel every day of my life. Over the past two years I really have learned to live with it. My husband and kids would see a glimpse of my pain, but I even tried to hide it from them. I really struggle with letting people know my own hurt and pain. Almost a year ago I was finally diagnosed and was able to get a mild relief from the intense pain. Of course the first few medicines work for a few months but then I was changed to a more powerful medicine. Well, about a month ago my pain has returned at full force. I was scheduled to go...
