2011 Here we come!

I know that New Year's Resolutions are so predictable.  But I like to do them any way.  So here they are for 2011.
1)  Pay off all medical and credit card bills ( That way I can tackle the student loans once I graduate)
2) Get organized with the help of Flylady. (We did super well the beginning of the year but being in survival mode starting in June changed that)
3) Drink more water ( 8-10 glasses)
4) Eat more salad (one a day)
5) Laugh more ( obviously)
6)  Find Peace ( I am sure he is out there somewhere)
7)  Graduate (so I can pay the student loans)
8) Play more (say no more)
9) Read one non-text book a month (turn off the tv more)
10) Complete our wills. (We have struggled with this one because of the question of who to leave our children with I think we have finally resolved that issue)

Here is to a great 2011. 



Okay there are other more specific goals but this is just an overview.  Plus I like to break down my goals, yearly, monthly, weekly and daily.

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.
