Work work work

I am working 17 days straight.    I am seven days in and I already feeling it.  I am tired and on edge and with Lee working all next week I am hoping that I can keep my patience with the kids.  It would be nice if I could sleep a good night sleep but that isn't happening.   

At the end of the 17 days then we will be on vacation.  So that is good.  The kids start swimming lessons tomorrow.  Jake isn't very excited but I think he will be fine once he gets there.  I am sad that I am missing the first day but I am hoping to make to part of the second. 

I had lunch today with a coworker at the hospital.  She asked me if I would be willing to work for them some while I was on leave from the state.  Well yes I would.  She said in October she was going on vacation.  October is already quickly being booked up.  We were planning a family trip as well as football season and Lee maybe a running a marathon out of state. And it looks like I may be going to Seattle as well. I am sure something will give.

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.
