So far so good

So I have been up here in Kamiah for about 30 hours.  I took the girls on three four wheeling trips, we played hide and go seek in the cemetary went into a church I have never seen before. We said good bye to Lee and Chris.  We went to town, ate too much  sat on the deck not long enough.  The kids spent time in the pool.  We tie dyed and over all have had a great time.  My mother in laws grandson is here and Lee's niece has all but moved in to the house.  So there are four kids two girls and two boys so it is working out very well.

There has been card games.  That is where I get the family news.  Engagements, divorces, non-divorces and lawsuits.  People who are really struggling in their marriage.

I won't be hearing from Lee for several days.  Stupid Canada. 

Tomorrow is church and I am not sure if I am going.  The thought of dragging the kids there is overwhelming at best.

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.
