Back on Track

Lee is off snowboarding so after Jake's basketball game the kids and I did some serious cleaning.  Finally although I am still not 100% the kids and I were able to clean the bathrooms and do some other cleaning that had been neglected for way too long.  Finally.  The weather was nice enough I was able to open up some windows and air the house out.  I did some disinfecting in the hopes that we can manage to stay healthy. 
We need a new vacuum so that options is out.
We are going to start daily chores for the kids.  I have to decided to get back on track with Flylady.  It really makes things run smoother.  Plus we have way too much stuff that we need to start getting rid of.  

I am hoping to get some more cleaning done but I still need to go to the store for some things so I will see how that goes.

Mentally I have been struggling.  I seem to be getting back on track. I am hoping that after Wednesday things will be even better.

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.
