Well Meaning Advice...

I got three pieces of advice today at the doctor and I will probably only follow one of them.

1) Don't go to your parents' cabin
2) Don't allow Lee to go on his bike trip
3) Take it easy. 

Clear my body did not do well working the 17 days straight.  The doctor wants to run more tests in a few weeks.  I am not worried about it although it could be a big deal.  After that appointment today we did lots of running around.  To the temple, Costco, Fred Meyer. 

I have to pack the kids for Utah and I need to pack myself.  Plus Lee has something on Thursday and I need to be supportive of that.  I need to get the house clean because we have company coming (sort of) on Sunday.

I am trying to catch up on laundry Lee and the kids came up with a laundry system which so far is working out great.  Less work for Lee and I and more responsibility for the kids.   I think the baby's laundry will fit nicely into the system.  We just need to get another laundry basket.  Or I guess he could just share Jake's for a while.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids.

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.
