This week

I wrote this on Sunday....

It has been quite the week.  I had a sibling in the hospital and there was lots of frustration around that.  Then I went to the doctor and she said everything looked on track for me to deliver near my due date.  Umm...I was sort of hoping that the baby would come sooner then that I am pretty sure that he will. But who really knows.  I have never made it to my actual due date so maybe to average things out this kids will come a few weeks late.

Everybody has thoughts on when I can or can not deliver.  The biggest thing is to make it through the work week and then I will feel better about having this baby.  Then somebody thought I was being induced this week.  Not sure where exactly that came from but then she questioned why I was still working if I was having a baby next week.  Because the plan is to work until I deliver.  12 weeks goes way too fast I don't want to spend one minute taking time off if I am not able to spend that time with my baby. 

Thanks to an amazing generous friend we now have a car seat.

My parents are taking the kids to the cabin tomorrow.  I guess I need to pack them.  They will be home Friday and then my parents will be gone Saturday-Saturday.  My mom said I can't have the baby while they are in Montana.  Actually I can.  :)


I worked at the hospital Sunday.  I will probably start picking up shifts there again in October. I am going to miss it.  I really like the hospital.

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. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. 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.
