Loving Activity

Yesterday we went hiking at a local ski resort.  It was great to be out enjoying what will probably be one of the final nice weekends.  Today I went running it was great.  I love being out and being activity in the sun.  Sad that we maybe have one more month.  I am trying to convince Lee that I want to run a half marathon in January.  The problem is that due to weather issue of living in Idaho we would have to travel to warmer weather.  I found one in Texas but Lee isn't sure that is such a great idea. 

We found out today that a family member is getting married in December. So I am hoping to lose some weight by then.  I know what I have to do and now it is just a matter of doing it.  We also found out that one of Lee's cousins is pregnant.  I try not to let announcements about people having their fourth or fifth child get to me but it is hard.  Lee doesn't understand but I think that is because physically he did not go through the pain or see what I saw and he is a totally different personality then I am. Plus it seems like we have had a lot of people get pregnant around us lately and I think somebody is going to make an announcement in the next few months.

Anyway, six in the morning comes way too early these days.  So imagine I should go to bed.

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.
