I LOVE THE END

I love the end of the semester.  I feel like I accomplished something.  That I am now 13 weeks closer to a degree.  School goes back on the 6th but due to me being in Seattle I won't start back to school until the following week.  So I have four weeks to get the house clean, spend four days up North, and read and work out..  I am now "blogging for books".  So far so good.  I love to read but can't always justify spending the money on the books.  I am planning on getting two books read and blogged before the semester starts. 
Lee's brother is coming into town Monday and then they are leaving Wednesday for Lee's parents' house.  I will drive up on the 23rd with Lee's cousin and back home on the 26th.  Lee and the kids will get to stay almost until the new year.  But I am not sure if they will stay that long.  They may miss me and want to come home sooner. ;)
I am looking forward to Christmas in Kamiah despite the logistics of the whole thing. Dragging Santa presents up there and back seems like a huge pain.  I really can't complain.  This will the 11th Christmas I have been married and the 3rd I have spent with Lee's family.  We are hoping for snow.  The kids even got new snow boots and Victoria got new snow mittens.

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.
