Weekend Part 1

We were going to go to California this weekend since the kids were out of school Thursday and Friday and I am off Monday.  But planned changed and due to things out of our control we stated home and had a fun time at home.  Wednesday the kids had a sleep over at their grandparent's while Lee and I went and stayed at a bed and breakfast.  I would stay at one again and there are family friendly ones. 
Thursday we took the kids on a tour of the Idaho State Capitol they have been asking to go for a while.  The tour took three times longer then we thought it would.  Then we went to Donnie Macs which is a trailer park diner.  I would never eat there again but the kids had a blast.  Today we did some major cleaning and went to Idaho State Police because Lee needed to do something so the kids and wander around the Idaho State Police Memorial.  It was a really great place to wander.  Right up until Jake slipped in the mud.  We then went to Home Depot and bought so hardware that we have been needing for a few months. 

Now Jake is reading Victoria and Amaya a good night story.  I am hoping the girls go to bed shortly but I am having my doubts.  Tomorrow is soccer and a tour of the historical museum and maybe the old pen.   It all depends on when the kids get tired of walking around.

This week was a Struggle

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.
