We have gotten into a habit around our house. It is called being lazy! It has been raining or cloudy every morning this week and the kids and us have slept in every morning. Jeremy has gotten up when the kids woke up and I have slept until 9:30 most mornings. It has been nice, but it has set tone for the rest of the day. I have then been taking a 2 hour nap every day and staying up until 12 or 1 am and then the cycle starts again. I think I am ready for a life of routine again. I know in a few months I will be wanting a break again, but I am ready to be working. I did get a few things packed the past few days. I got all of my Grandma's China and other precious breakables packed up. I miss her so much! It added a lot of emotions to my packing. I am hoping in the near future I can get a small china cabinet to display her things. Other than packing we have just stayed in during the day. The kids have gone to VBS all week and last night I had about three hours completely by myself:) This morning I actually had to set an alarm and get up and get ready to go out in public. Sam and Chloe had a  physical this morning. Emma will probably have to wait and have her Kindergarten physical in Chicago because it has not been a year yet since her last one. It was sad to say good-bye to our doctor. He is a nice old man and has been with us since Sam came home. It is also scary for me to think about finding a new doctor! One of my friends gave me the name of the doctor she used for her boys in Chicago, so that is some relief to me. We got their forms filled out for Chicago Public Schools and poor Chloe had to get 5 shots and take blood from her finger. Sam was a super sweet big brother and held her hand while she got the shots. Sam thought he was in the clear until the doctor came in and said that in the IL form they wanted to know hemoglobin levels (?) so Sam also had to get his finger pricked to take some blood. They are both healthy and the doctor put my heart at ease about starting Chloe in school this year. He said that all she is lacking is in her speech and the school system would be able to give her the speech therapy she needed. That is kind of what we were thinking too, but it was nice to get confirmation from the doctor. After the doctor we made a quick trip to Wal-Mart and then I got lunch to bring home. After lunch the kids and I (and Lucy) piled in the bed and took our daily nap:) We are staying in tonight and tomorrow and then we are heading to Memphis on Sunday to attend our National Association for a few days. We will be coming back on Tuesday because Jeremy flies out on Wednesday morning for Chicago. I guess we have rested so much this week because our rest time is almost over. After tomorrow life is about to get crazy!! We are moving in 2 weeks and 3 days!!

The kids had bandannas at VBS so they wore them around the house all week.

 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...
