It was the best of times. It was the worst of times.

Good news in previous post.  Bad news is work is spinning out of control.  This week four people will leave the department. .  Two were fired and two are leaving on their own accord.  Morale is horrible.  I have a few days to get everything done that I need to before I leave for a week.  This is also the last week of school. So I need to complete my thesis and do some posterboard.  I am waiting for the letter from NNU so I can complete my comp exam.  I am really frustrated with them right now.  Anyway camping at Bear Lake should be a blast.  Some things about the trip are stressing me out but it should all work out.  Anway....because of some things that have come out this week I have had to do some soul searching.  I have decided that the reason I thought I was struggling isn't really why I am struggling. 

I am mad because somebody I thought had high standards really didn't and people who should have stood up for what was right didn't and then they became the martyr.  I am upset that people who don't know the whole story are saying that somebody I admire isn't being supportive.  After all is said and done somebody's life got turned upside down. 

PS It is really hard to get fired from the department.

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.
