Hi Friends,
Hang tight, I know I need to post 2 Christmas recipes as well as an encouragement for today.
I am now to the point where I am going to be laying low this afternoon. I was up all night last night icing kiddos foot to keep her ugly surgery pain at bay, but to no avail. She got up this morning feeling that ugly pain as well as a headache. She was able to take some of her meds now she has had her surgery so she finally found something to get it controlled since it was borderlining a migraine.
I was able to bake her some protein rich muffins (which I will post here since she liked them) and some protein rich granola bars so she can snack on healthy food which will promote quicker healing, I hope.
I also wanted to get my house picked up so it doesn’t get ahead of me, but exhaustion has settled in.
We are living by an alarm still, but as long as the ice keeps the ugly pain managed then I will continue to do it. The doctor is having her ice 15 minutes on with 30 mins off. It is amazing how fast that 30 minutes in between goes.
I wanted to drop by to reassure you all that I am still here and will make every effort to keep posting even though she is down.
Thank you for your patience. I truly means a lot to me.

I am a wife, mom, and daughter. I served in the United States Army, went to college, received a Batchelor's Degree in Criminology, homeschooled my daughter every year from start to finish, and now I am currently a daycare teacher's aide (soon to be a two-year-old teacher coming this fall).
I married my husband when he was in the United States Army so I have the unique knowledge of what it is like to be on both sides of a Military uniform.
While we were stationed in Germany, my daughter, who is 24 years old now, was born and I made the difficult decision to put my career on hold to be her mom.
The past 20 years have been wrought with many struggles but as a result of those struggles, this blog was created.
As the years passed and the struggle kept coming, I would say, "I'm not sure why we have to go through all of this, but if we have to then it is my desire to allow my story to serve as a means of encouragement to others so all this pain isn't for nothing."
The years passed and the struggles did not. However, I feel now is the time God wants me to share these stories of hardships with the hopes they provide encouragement to you if you are struggling in the same way. It is my prayer they will serve as a healing opportunity for you.
I want you to know you are not alone. There are others who know where you are and what you are feeling.
Cling to the hope this won't last forever and that God is standing beside you while He holds you up and dries your tears. He is showing you the way, you just need to follow Him.
Big Hugs, Heidi
