2 "Do not conform  to the pattern of this world,  but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.  Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is —his good, pleasing  and perfect will." Romans 12:2

This verse in Romans has been my verse for the past few days. It is amazing the thoughts that go through your mind every second! I know that my worrying and anxiety about the future starts in the things I think might happen. The planner in me wants to think everything out and get the plan set, but in this case I have to turn over the plans to the only One that knows what is in store for us. I spoke with the dad from that nanny position. They really, really liked me (in his words:) so I am planning on working August 3rd to make sure it is a position that I want to do. I am pretty confident that is where I will be working this year.


We are finally getting a good amount of rain. It started to rain last night and has continued to rain on and off since. We were in desperate need of rain, but all of this rain is causing me a great deal of pain today. It makes it worse that we have not had rain in a while. I woke up at 8:30 and I was shocked to see that the kids were still asleep! I probably could have slept some more but on days like today I just have to get up and stretch my body because it hurts too bad to still lay in bed:(

Yesterday Jeremy had a bunch of errands to run so the kids and I stayed home. Our vehicle is still being fixed, so we just stayed home. I did get some cleaning done but you could not tell by this morning:) My hair has been driving me crazy lately! Mostly because of the heat, but I really needed a change. So I cut my hair yesterday. I have had my hair like this before, but it has been awhile. It just feels better not to have so much hair on my head. I will post a picture at the end, but it is not very good because I had just finished cutting it. This summer we have either been out-of-town or have stayed at home when we are in town. The kids have been getting a little stir crazy, therefore driving me crazy:) Our last church (and Gran and Papa's church) is having VBS this week so I took them last night. I dropped them off and then went to the grocery store all by myself. I did not know what to do. I forgot how to look at things without telling a kid to stop doing whatever they were doing. My plan for today was to do some more packing (since we are moving 3 weeks from today), but I do not think my body will be too happy with me. I have done some packing in the kids room and the kitchen but I have already needed three things I already packed up! Well, I am going to finish my coffee and then lay back down for a little while. Chloe got her birthday present from Grandma yesterday in the mail. It was a cute Minnie backpack for school (sniff...sniff..) and this adorable night-gown.



My haircut.

 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...
