Teaching....

Jake got his report card today.  He has some areas to keep working on but he is getting there.  But his teacher said, "I love having Jacob in class his smile makes the day so much better."  I love love Jake's teacher.  Friday's school board meeting went well.  The board loved meeting the kids and the parents.  We talked about how far the kids had come and how well they were doing.  Hearing the teacher talk about what they were doing to help these kids read was amazing to me.  These teachers love the kids and really want them to succeed.  This isn't just a job to them. 

We have decided to request Jake's teacher for Victoria next year.  I really think that she will see Victoria for her own little personality and not "Jake's little sister". 

In other news I have 19 hours left of internship.  I really don't know what I will do with my Saturdays.  We are considering a weekend trip over President Day.  The way things work out we will have a four day weekend.  Not sure if we will stay home and just chill which is my vote or head out of state to see friends.  Either way I am sure it will be a good time.

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.
