Where do I start?

If something does not happen this week it will not happen until next year.  Disappointing but not really shocking. So I bought a book.  It has been such a help to me. The book offers so much insight and laughter into what has been going on with me.  Really a book I wish I would have found a year ago. 

My mom had a 6 hour surgery today.  She is hoping to be home Friday but I am not so sure. 

The hospital went well today.  If I could work there part time I would. I could work there 30 hours a week and still make the same as I do in a 40 hour a week job with the state. The money I made today will help with something I am sure.  Not sure if we would save it or use it for vacation or put it towards debt.   Or some mix of the three.  

As I was chatting with a family member today I was reminded just how crazy the family I married into is.  I was also reminded how glad I am for my two children.

I should be in bed. Daylight Savings messed me up a bit and I keep staying up later and later.  Funny thing the alarm clock still goes off at 5:30.

This week was a Struggle

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.
