Cabins and Gardens

We had such a great weekend.  The kids had such a great time at the cabin and I was amazing at all the work my parents have done on it since last time I was there. I didn't want to come home.  It was so relaxing.  I got an idea for my thesis and have began researching it.  I think there should be enough resources to allow me to complete my thesis.

The weather has been so nice and we have been able to get some plants planted in the front yard and get the garden ready for planting.  We still have more plants to get for the front yard but we made a good start.  I am planning on a herb garden.  The question remains where to plant.  We had both lunch and dinner outside today.  I love this weather.

We have had extended family get bad news after bad news.  Of course it is all different family members but it makes me glad for what I have.  I have a tendency to allow bad news effect me way too much.  I have my own things to worry about it.  That may sound a bit selfish but I honestly think that my children and husband must come before anybody.  

 Tomorrow I get the new desk I was promised back in January when I moved to my new office.

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.
