Sick kids and FLYING

Victoria is home sick today and tomorrow.  She has been sitting on the couch watching Garfeild.  She isn't grouchy or whiny just zero energy.  The bad news is that Lee could not babysit today which means we lost out on that money.  Good news is I got to work a half day today and got a ton of housework done.  I wish I could work part time and spend more time at home. 

Some of my online friends and I started FLY Lady (yes again) The house needs it.  This is week is the kitchen and I am going to start with the lazy susan.  I hope by writing it down then I will have some motivation. 

Our accountant gave us the numbers on our tax return.  Half of what it was last year and the state still isn't done.  Here is hoping we don't owe them.  It is also pretty certain we won't be able to go to Disney Land in the fall like we were hoping.

We are hoping to make to the beach next year.  Lee will get to go for a day this year and I am so jealous. 

Well laundry is calling my name.

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.
