Okay I am back

So I have decided to do a little updating. Clearly I am not that great at this whole blogging thing. I still haven't figured out how to add pictures.

My last day of class for the semester in on Friday. Which I am so excited about. This has been such a great semester and I have learned so much. Lee completed summer school two weeks ago. Just in time for us to go to Oceanside for six days with his extended family. It was so relaxing and we really enjoyed our time.

Lee got a 4.0 for summer and I am so proud of him. He only has two more semesters until he is done with his Accounting degree.

We have had a tough first half of 2009 but the last half looks like it will make up for it.

In the first half of the year I suffered a miscarriage, my dad had one big heart attack and one smaller one and my cousin died.

So far during the second half of the year I took the kids to the Grand Canyon for my mother's family reunion, we spend a week in Oceanside and now we are going to Silverwood the second weekend in August. Plus my BFF is coming to visit from Washington.

I will figure out the whole posting picture thing after Friday.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher

The one you feed...

A few weeks ago Lee text me this story.  One evening, an elderly cherokee brave told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. he said "my son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. one is evil. it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. the other is good. it is joy, peace love, hope serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." the grandson though about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "which wolf wins?..." the old cherokee simply replied, "the one that you feed"  One I have heard 100 times but one that I needed at that moment although I didn't know it.  There have been several situations that have happened these past few weeks and I keep thinking of that story and I have to remind myself which wolf I am feeding.
