Manic Monday

Lee is in Utah.  He left after dinner and you would think that could handle a few hours with my sweet children.  But they are on one tonight.  We went for a walk which was mostly good and now we are watching Bizarre Foods.  It seemed to settle them down.  Tomorrow will be busy.  I have a lot to do and I don't know if I have enough time to do it.  Tonight when the kids are in bed I am going do some deep cleaning while I am watching "Waiting for Superman." I have heard good things about it and I have had it almost a month so I figure it is time to send it back to Netfilix.

Lee and I have decided to not pay off our debt as quickly as we were.  There are reasons but we have decided that some things need to come ahead of getting rid of debt.  It was funny though.  I thought he was going to be against the idea but instead he was totally in favor of it.  I figure as long as we have no new debt and the amount we do have is going down then we will be doing great.  It will all get paid off at some point.

There is a new position that may be opening at work.  Not sure if I am going to apply but it would be a great job.  But, it also means giving up four tens. Something that I just don't know if I want to do.

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.

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.
