This week Sort of

I am obsessed lately with shows and books about debt and finances.  It is getting a little out of control at this point.  In the past two days I have watched three documentatries on debt.  Pretty much they all said the same thing.  Although Lee and I had different opinions on what they said. 

The good news is that in about a week we will no longer owe anything on my bachelor degree, just in time to start witting checks for the Master's Degree. Speaking of checks I just paid a ton of money to sign up to take my licensing exam in August.  I am planning on the 4th.

Lee was here an extra day.  Good because we had him around.  Bad because we still had to pay for day care. 

I am back to working out and drinking water.  The dates are set for Hawaii and I want to be 30 pounds lighter by then.  So that means that I am going to have focus.  It is nice to not being focusing on getting pregnant but on getting healthy.

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.
