I hate the fact that somebody else has to take care of kids because I am sick.  Not only do I hate being sick but also that somebody else has to take over my job of the kids and the house.  Okay well nobody has taken over the house.  School is at a stand still and I have no idea what I did at work yesterday.  I do know I had court and the judge wants one of the kids adopted by June 3rd before I go back in front of him.  But at this point the adoption is up to the foster parents and not up to me.  They have some thing they need to do but have to do so we are waiting and waiting.  I could have this thing done by now.  I did get invited to the baptisim of one of the little girls on my case load.  The family is amazing and I think I am going to go.  I have to feel better by tomorrow because it is Jakes first soccer game and they have a primary party at 3 where all the kids are going to dress up like bugs.  At 4:30 they are going to have a bug parade.  The kids are singing on Sunday in church and Victoria needs to find a scipture to read in primary. Oh yea and I have to plan a lesson for Sunday.    Plus I have to make a few posts in my online class.  I don't feel horrible sick just so tired and my throat hurts.  But I ate one thing yesterday afternoon didn't stay down although the toast last night did.  I haven't eaten today.  Maybe this will be the time where I can lose a few pounds.

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.
