Here we are

Where to start?  Lee left yesterday morning to help my dad and his dad with projects.  It worked out because I was off today and could be home when the kids got out of school.  It was a great day although not really productive.  I made bread and potato chowder.  I got some Christmas shopping done.  I am probably half way done with the kids shopping.  For Lee's present I am going to have to do some research.  Probably emails to my brother in law will do it.  Maybe I can have this wrapped up by Thanksgiving.  I am not sure that I am going to get Christmas cards done this year. 

I have a new job but I probably won't be able to start until the first of the year.  But I can most likely move before then.  I am excited about the change.  But it is going to be something way out of my comfort zone.

Today reality hit me like a ton of bricks.  It is official.  It is over. But life is good and we are moving on.

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.
