Whoo TWO good evenings in a row!

My kiddos and I had two good evenings in a row!
That my not seem like much to anyone else but that's big for us! Big for ME!

My hormones must have leveled off a bit this week. Normally I'm a crazy person when PMSing.
I usually only get one week out of every month where I feel like a normal person.

First I have the menstrual week, then its the week after, then its ovulation week, then it's pms week.
This week my body must be out of wack because usually this is a horrible week.

Not that I'm complaining!! It's nice to be able to enjoy my kids laughter and goofiness instead of getting irritated by every little thing.

I went to the doctor years ago telling them that I have a hormone imbalance. They didn't believe me. Took some blood and just told me I was fine.
But a 20-something woman shouldn't feel like she is in menopause and still having periods. lol

When we get back on insurance I'm going to get checked again. Hopefully they will figure out what's going on.
In my research, a hormone imbalance explains pretty much everything I deal with day in and day out.
The constant headaches, hot flashes, sweating, mood swings, depression.. everything!

Speaking of insurance... I cannot believe how expensive it is!!! I did some looking and the CHEAP one was $1,000 a month with a $12,700 deductible!! How the heck is anyone supposed to be able to afford that!?

Pray for us this weekend everyone. My son has a 4 day weekend... these school breaks tend to be a very trying and difficult time for us. But I'm praying I find things to do to keep us all busy and happy.

Have a great day all!

Remember.. you are loved!

I won yesterday.

Yesterday morning I planned to clean the house and get stuff organized because I had people coming over yesterday evening. As soon as I started to get things ready to clean my 2 year old started throwing a fit. Normally I get really irritated and just tell him to knock it off and keep doing what I had planned. But yesterday I didn't. I didn't get mad. I didn't yell. I didn't do what I would normally do. Yesterday I put on one of his favorite movies, sat down, and rocked him. He ended up going to sleep. Then while I was doing dishes he woke up very upset. Again, normally I would be really annoyed, but I sat with him and he calmed down. We sat in the chair together for a while and then he was up and ready to play. But I won yesterday. I won against my anger. I won against the way I usually react. These moments with my children are ones I will never get back. I really need to focus on that instead of the irritants that present themselves. It may be only on

Depression + Guilt

Can I just say.. Again.. Depression SUCKS! There doesn't have to be a reason why I feel like I'm worthless.. I just do. I'm also a Christian. I try to read my Bible. I pray often. I go to church on Sunday. And I really try to be a good Christ follower. But being a Christ follower and battling depression day in and day out is hard. Because I know in my heart that I'm so very valuable because God created me and loves me unconditionally. But my head just doesn't hold on to that all the time. And then I feel guilty because I don't have that joy and happiness the Bible speaks of. I feel guilty because I'm not the person I'd like to be. I'm not the great Christian woman (parent especially) that I long to be. And that guilt can be so very overwhelming. I constantly feel like I'm failing at everything. Recently, during a discussion with someone I brought up something that is in the Bible. The person asked me to stop bringing up the Bible becaus

First Blog!

Good morning all! I'm very excited to begin this new journey of blogging!  God has called me to share my life with others so He may be glorified and people may be helped through their struggles.  We weren't created to go through life alone. And thankfully we aren't alone! Many times in life we feel like we have no where to turn and no one we can count on. (That includes me) But through fellowship and leaning on God's loving arms, we can make it through this life. Together. So, here is a small introduction to me: I am a wife, to a wonderful husband. I am a mother to two awesome little boys and a beautiful step-daughter. I grew up as a preacher's kid along with my 2 sisters and 1 brother. I've had to fight for my relationship with God, and find Him on my own. I am a survivor of abuse (NOT by my husband). I am a mother of multiple children I never got to see or hold (miscarriages). I have fought with depression and anger since I was a kid and continue
