Tonight is one of those nights where the pain is so great that my entire being cries out, "My God, my God! Why hast thou forsaken me!" Although I know He has never left me alone, or comfortless, my soul still cries out from the pain. I know tomorrow will be better but, tonight, I hurt. One day the Doctors will find a way to stop the pain, I know it. I have faith that this will one day end.
I just have to keep moving forward with faith and all will be well...

Computer troubles... and life
My computer decided to take sick leave this week.... It took me a few days to remember how to get to my blog. :) Such is life. This week has been hard physically on many of the household; more migraines for me, Sydney has been a little more wiped out, and Daisy has been having daily seizures....
I'm grateful that Bella's migraines are under control and that Danny never gets sick. Sometimes it's the little things that make the biggest difference.
We baked our pumpkins this week. It was such fun. Bella and Sydney kept getting into the baked pumpkin while it waited for me to get it all processed. I love that they are just as excited to eat their Halloween pumpkins as they are to carve them. (If you carve late and don't use a candle, you can eat them.)
There are screams of playing and goofing off in the background.... "Mommy, help me...." I do enjoy their happiness more than anything on this planet.
Bella has tryouts for a local theater company on Monday. Sydney earned his Bear and will receive that on Wednesday. Bella will be presented with her Faith in God award tomorrow. AND Sydney received a letter from the Mars chocolate company, in response to his letter of inquiry. Bella's 4th grade teacher saw her on Halloween and commented on how much happier Bella is now. I agree, Both are happy and confident young people and I'm proud of them.

Whispering in the darkness
Another Tuesday out there. It was good in it's own right. I started the outline for my speech and attended Spanish. It was nice to go because my friends told me how useful the quizlet information is. I needed that today because I was late addressing a migraine and it wasn't pretty. The pain was sufficient enough to make me vow to NEVER be without Immitrex on me again.
On the bright side, Bella has pulled her overall grade up to a 62% and completed 6 assignments today. I'm proud of the effort she is giving. Everyone remarks on how much happier she is. I agree. This is what she needed. I am what she needed. It's just hard to be there all the time. Although I must admit it is refreshing watching Bella come into her own. She's starting to ask questions and get excited about the hunt for information. I like that she is coming alive. We may just GED it with Bella and enroll her in college.
Even now, I'm barely finding peers. I'm so hungry for equal minds that I feel almost impatient for my children's maturity. It often leaves me forgetting to enjoy the now. And right now, Bella and Sydney are kids who are amazing people.
Sydney is starting to get along with his teacher. I may or may not have gone behind him and set up a safety net by letting the SpEd director know that the power struggle existed. I might have also informed her of exactly how sick he is and that we have another few weeks of waiting just for the sleep study. I was pretty sure that Sydney and the teacher needed assistance coming to terms with one another or everyone was going to have a LONG year. Sydney is already happier and has completely forgotten the conflict existed.
Parent-Teacher conference tomorrow. :) As sad as I am about Mrs. Larson leaving, I look forward to meeting Sydney's new Language teacher, he seems to like her.

well rested
Man! I have spent the greater part of the last two days asleep. Being sore and tired stinks. At least it was the weekend and I now have the energy I will need for the week. Here's to taking care of myself and being ready for the work of the week.
