Weekend Update

I am waiting for Lee to get off the phone with his brother and so here I am.  We had a busy weekend.  Lee had a good friend in town from Washington and so the kids and I went shopping for Father's Day and went to the park with my niece.  The shopping was a totally bust.  I know exactly what to get Lee and I have known for months but I can't find it anywhere.  It is one of those things you can find anywhere but not the perfect one. 
My primary class was pretty good today I think in part because I bride them with suckers.

I got an A on the first part of my thesis and that was the motivation for what I needed this semester.  Then in my  field class my professor told me I am already doing what I need to be doing.  I am so ready to finish up the rest of this semester with a bang.  I feel more confident then ever. 

Lee is still looking for a job which I am pretty certain he will be doing at least through the end of the semester. We are planning on heading north for four days for the first weekend in July.

Lee is off the phone so I am off to spend some time with him.

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.

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.
