March Goals

I was going to make a list of all my goals for March but they haven't changed much.  I need to get healthier which I have started but I am still not as good at as I should be be.  I can tell a big difference on the days I drink enough water and the days I don't.  I am eating more fruit and veggies at home but I don't eat healthy enough at work.   That will change.  Plus I need to stick to a budget. Well the whole family does.  We got our taxes done and are waiting for the refund.  That means that we will be able to afford to go to Cali in July.  The question is now do we fly or drive. I am still leaning towards driving.  So booking the condo and the rental car is on my list for March.  Also it looks like we should be able to pay off our final credit card in the next few months.  Well probably closer to May. 

We are still getting rid of stuff and Lee now said I could just give it to good will and now I am thinking we will just skip the garage sale.  I may hold on to it until the end of April and then get rid of it.  I still need to clean out Jake's dresser.  We got some clothes from my sister and they are way too much for Jake's dresser.  So it means getting rid of old clothes and bringing in the new. 

The end of March is the end of the semester.  Still waiting on word on if I can do comps this summer or if I have to wait.  Plus I have some major corrections to the current draft of my thesis.  Which means lots of time to get it to where it needs to be.  But I got some good news from my professor.  He really wants us to succeed.

I am not ready to start this week but at least I only have to work one day and then I have one off.  There are pros and cons to four tens.

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.
