I sometimes wonder is it better to tell the truth or to remain silent and let people assume.  I have been thinking about this a lot lately and I am not sure really what the answer is.  Some people are just far more open with their struggles.  Anyway....
We spent the day shopping.  A bike for Missy Kay and roller blades for Jake and Lee.  Plus safety gear.  We were in East Boise and I was thinking a ride to Idaho City would have been nice but the kids wanted to get home and try out their new toys.  Okay so did Lee.  We are still searching for bikes for Lee and I.  We were able to do some hiking today as well.  I am glad for Daylight Savings I love the light at night.  Although it had proven harder to get the kids in bed on time. 

There is still so many unknowns that I am struggling with.  I wish I was more go with the flow like my husband.  I am working on it. 

We are still debating summer plans.  Lee got a huge guilt trip about one of the plans.  I am really frustrated about it.

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. There
