Work and Work and more Work

I agreed to work at the hospital three shifts this week.  Which means about 70 hours of work from Monday to Sunday.  I did it for two reasons  1) we need the money and 2) I love working there.  By picking up these two shifts I will be half way to paying off our bank loan.  Then I am going to start working on our a  credit card that has been driving me batty.  Student loans are something that we will take care of in the far off future.  Reason being mine may be taken care of depending on where I end up working. Somewhere in the middle of that we have some medical bills and a smaller credit card.

We decided this week we are not going to Hawaii. Instead we are going to visit Lee's brother and family.  I think the kids will have much more fun with their cousins then chilling on the beach.  I am still trying to work out the details. 

I am not looking forward to work this week.  There will be a huge announcement made tomorrow and I am pretty sure I am not going to like it.  Although we will see.  Plus I have to get my comps done.  Plus I am going to slowly working on getting ready for the garage sale.  We have tons of stuff we need to get rid of. 

Monday we are doing a night of services and Tuesday we are going to sushi and Thursday is a birthday party. Then I will work all weekend. 

I should be getting to bed.  The alarm is going to go off way to early.

    Haha- I just figured out that the reason I couldn't comment on your blog was because I wasn't actually "following" it. (At least I think that was the reason...)

    I'm glad you like working at the hospital...and that this 70 hour thing is short term! Enjoy sushi this week. Hope everything goes smoothly with the plans to come visit us :)

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.
