One of those days...

So I am having one of those days where i think...Did i take my medication this morning?
I mean seriously, i feel like i could tear someones head off, and scream, and cry, and collapse, and need to be held, and want to eat milk and cookies...or drink a bottle of wine all by myself...all at the same time. I am struggling with so many emotions. Some I am sure are legitimate responses and the others...not so sure.
I feel overlooked, left out, unwanted. Sometimes I feel bothersome and annoying and obsurd.
Then on the otherhand I feel unheard, unused and over used all at the same time by different people.
I am having a hard time creating my NO! I am having a hard time not being bitter and wearing my feelings on my sleeve.
Why dont I matter?
What arent my needs and wants considered?
Why is my time unimportant?
Why are my desires ridiculous?
Why does no one ask my my desires in the first place?
Why are relationships so difficult?
Why does my mother hate me?
Why is it that I am supposed to drop everything?
Why am I not worth protecting or fighting for?
Why does my husband talk down to me?
Why do I feel like I just anger him?
Why do friends not answer my emails?...especially ones i ask questions in... ?
Why do i feel cumbersome?
Why does no one tell ME thank you?
Why does no one consider the fact that I AM BROKE! NO REALLY! BROKE. NO DENERO! NESICITO LECHE Y NO DENERO! PIENSO QUE NO HAY ALGUIEN PENSAR SOBRE ME!
Why is it that my baby shower falls on a day everyone is busy? even though they knew a month in advance...hmmmmm
Why can no one watch MY kids when i need a little help?
Why doesnt anyone have the time to just talk to me?...to just have a real conversation...
Why does all of this bother me so much?
*SCREAMING*
Why does my neighbor feel the need to tell me that there are dead limbs in our tree?
Why does the friend down the road only drop off gifts when I am not at home?
Why cant my no just be no?
WHY DO I GET THIS EMOTIONAL TO BEGIN WITH!
Why do I have to comfort everyone else?
When do i get to be the needy one?
When will i be respected?
When will i get to stop fighting?
When will someone just say, I am sorry that is really horrible, or How can I help?
When will i be important enough to mention?...3 outta 4? come on people!
when do i stop feeling like shit

I'm often in the same place. And I'm often the cause of these feelings in others. And I don't know which makes me sadder.

I'm sorry you're there. And I'm sorry I've done nothing to prevent it.

You are loved--even if only God loves you perfectly. I want you to feel like you can share these feelings with us and I want you to know that we cannot help but share in your pain when you do. It hurts to know you're hurting. I admire your willingness to be transparent. We'll talk more soon.

How to prepare for the Composite Science 8-12 TEXES certification exam

My goodness!  It has been a while since I have written.  It has been a wild few months with some great achievements, a new job, cool training, lots of studying and some awesome experiences.  What I feel to be one of my greatest accomplishments is passing the composite science TEXES exam.  So, I thought I would take the time to blog about how I prepared for it. I know that when I was getting ready to take the test, I was a bit discouraged with the lack of reliable resources about how I should prepare. Let me begin with a bit of background.  Everyone will approach this test from difference backgrounds, experience etc.  If you are right out of college with a good understanding of Chemistry and Physics as well as basic Biology concepts you may be able to barely pass the exam--but pass none-the-less.  However, if you are like me--several years removed from any sort of formal education, you are going to have to work for it.  I graduated Baylor in 2003 with a BA in Biology.  I had 17+ cours

Fear is a Liar

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GgnClrx8N2k Today as was trying to soak in my small window of quiet alone time with the Lord (and without kids) something struck me. This song came to mind and I was reminded that we, in our fleshly bodies, often forget who the real enemy is. What really is behind the pandemic? The rioting? The social unrest? The political posturing? The fear-mongering? The lies? The finger-pointing? The fear? It isn't your neighbor, or your president, or your neighbor or some social justice group or another country--it is our oldest and most cunning foe. Ephesians 6:12 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This enemy often knows us better than we know ourselves. He can be persuasive and attractive and manipulative but he VERY MUCH is the TRUE enemy. John 10:10 10 The thief comes only to steal and kil

Growing our Heritage from A-Z: In Search of a Full Quiver Month 3

Here we are again, I posted this early on in our adoption Journey with A and it still holds true:  "It feels like a  Tale of Two Cities , "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times"....ALL AT THE SAME TIME." Some days are great and some are terrible, horrible, awful but the struggle is worth it.  We know that in adopting older boys we may very well be their last chance at a forever family, so we always go in knowing that the behaviors will be tough but that we will see it through.  Our resolve has definitely been tested.  However, by the grace of God and patience that surpasses all understanding,  we continue to struggle through each issue as it arises. We see massive gains yet there are still huge setbacks that require time to regain lost ground--but we are getting there.  I am 'mommy' and my husband is "daddy" and I get tons of hugs and snuggles and "I Love Yous".  A few weeks ago, after a inconceivably rough day, as I was
