Wyoming and school and Utah

I am sitting in a hotel in Wyoming.  Waiting for my co-worker so we can go eat.  Tomorrow we head home it will be a 12-14 hour drive.  Today we are going to meet with social workers and therapists to get this kid all the services he can get.  As I left the foster parents' home on Saturday morning I felt as though maybe we had made a wrong decision.  The child had been in the home nearly 2  years and she had been through so much with him.  In the end because of her choices and because of the department the child was moved to Wyoming.  The best decision we could have made.  The child just fits in that home.  It was perfect for him.

I am still waiting to find out if I have passed my exam from Tuesday.  I have another exam a week from today.  That one is just as important as the one I just took.  I am looking forward to being done with school and now I am looking forward to learning for fun.  I am thinking about a cooking class or an adult education religion class.  The options are really endless although my finances are not.  I am considering doing something once I am done with school but I am not sure how it will work out.  

The kids slept in the tent on Saturday night sort of a practice run for our trip to Bear Lake. Speaking of I posted a question online and I was told I was being very rude for considering doing something while we are in Utah.  I have made some people mad on that specific board because of some things that happened.  All very junior high like.  But now I am more confused then ever on what do.  Lee thinks that it doesn't matter what we do and it probably doesn't.

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. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. 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. There
