Andrew John Pitcher

I have given a lot of thought to this post. Andrew John Pitcher was born way too early in the morning on August 21st.  He is such a great baby.  As were both of my other kids for the most part.  I knew when I found out I was pregnant I wanted to have the baby on the 21st.  My official due date was sometime between the 17th and 20th.  I had scheduled an induction for the 21st but it wasn't necessary.  My other two children came 7-10 days early and I knew this one would be different.  Labor went quick and recovery has been a breeze. The weirdest thing is being able to eat with out having to worry about throwing up. 

Andrew is way different in so many ways.  After the four year roller coaster to get him here I think both Lee and I feel like he is such a gift.  I appreciate every moment I get with him.  Maybe too it is because I am older and more experienced at the whole parenting thing.

Today is the first day it will be just me and Andrew.  We have had company in one form or another in town since Thursday.  Lee is going to my parents house to put holes in the wall and the older kids are at school. 

I still don't have pics of all three of the kids.  Maybe today would be a good day to get those.

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.
