I want, I want

This evening I was talking to Lee telling him I really wanted something.  He has been listening to me say I really really want this something for over a year now.  As we discussed all the pros and cons about our family getting this thing I really wanted I became aware of the cons that I had not been so aware of before.  I think that with so many things we want them but failed to notice all the diffculty that will be caused by bringing it in to your life.  Such as a bigger house or a pet or a college degree.  All of these things can bring you joy but will also bring a great deal of hard work along with them.  For right now I will postpone getting what I really really want and maybe I will never get it,  but for now I am okay with that for now I look forward for another day with what I have and not worry about those things I don't.

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.

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.
