As the weekend comes to an end...

The kids watch way more TV then they normally do on Sunday.  That is because we have no TV rule on Sunday.  But this day was way off.  We didn't go to church and then Lee went to help my sister and his cousin with a projects that took up most of the afternoon.  I got a headache that made me want to throw up.  I still made apple butter and dinner.  Well apple butter is still cooking.  It is so an all day project.  But my house smells so good.  We took the kids window shopping for houses.  There were some really nice ones that we walked in. We have no intention of moving.  We love this house.  The payment is is relatively low. 

Lee got an offer to go up and help my dad on his cabin but we are not sure if it is going to work.  The good thing is I am off on Friday the bad thing is I would have to be off of work on Thursday in time to get the kids.  Not sure if that would work.

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.
