Half Way There

Hard to belive that we are half way through 2010. So I am going to address the goals I had six months ago.  I haven't lost the weight like I would have liked to, but I am working out and I am healthier which is so more important then a number on a scale.  We are heading to Mexico in just about a month and so I really need to put some effort into looking and feeling better.

We are getting rid of stuff on an ongoing basis.  It is so freeing to get rid of things.  I love taking huge boxes of kid clothes to good will so we have more room and somebody will be able to use them.  I follow the FLYLADY plan and love it.  I can tell a huge difference in the house when I don't.  I am not one of those people who are a naturally organized person so having a plan really helps me.

Lee graduated and is still looking for a job so our getting out of debt is going slower then planned.  Plus we have had some medical issues so those bills were added to the get out of debt plan. But we are moving forward not backwards and that is something I feel good about.

2010 has been very good to us this far.  No kids in the ER.  No heart attacks, no miscarriages.  I would say it is going to so much better then the previous year.

I really hoping the specialist has some ideas for us and we can go visit the in-laws for the long weekend. If not we will have a BLAST here.

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.
