Weekend fun

This weekend I had a friend in town.  Saturday we went and watched the kids swim and then ate way too many sno cones.  She beat Jake at chess twice and it was so nice to have her around. 

Sunday we went to church long enough to hear Jake give his talk and then we went out to lunch and shopping.  and there is where the fun ended. ;)  She insisted before leaving town that I had to get something ready for the baby.  So Lee pulled all the baby clothes out of the attic.  I thought there were only a few boxes  but there was far more then that.  We got rid of all the girl clothes and then the boys clothes went back to the attic or in Jake's room.  The swings were taken out and the covers were washed.  So although now I am still missing a car seat I feel fairly prepared for this baby. 

Yesterday I started having contractions not the in labor kind but more the I did too much kind. 

The kids are leaving Wednesday and it will be nice to try and get some things under control before they get back.  I am still hoping for a date night but we will see. 

Lee came back into town late Saturday.  It is nice to have him back.  They had such a good time and have already started planning next year.

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.

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.
