This week....

On the day Andrew was born my parents found out my dad had cancer.  A fact they hid for a few days.  The cancer has spread through his whole body although the doctors think the can get in remission in the next 3-6 months. Treatment started yesterday so we are keep our fingers crossed and lots of prayers that he will kick cancer's butt.  If not then we will deal with that then. 

This last week has been crazy.  Tuesday my phone was lost/stolen and Lee has been so patient about it.  I think we are going to have to get a new one. Speaking of Lee he started working.  Good and bad.  Good because he really likes working bad because I am home everyday with Andrew.  There are days that Andrew just wants to eat and be held.  Then there are days where he sleeps all day. Overall he is a good baby and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. 

The blessing is still up in the air.  Everybody seems to want to know when it is.  I have no idea.  Further more it probably won't be at church and will be at our home. I know that some people have issues with that but since it is my child then we get to make the decision that will work best for our family.

We spend the long weekend in Kamiah.  The kids had a good time playing in forts and riding four wheelers.  We even went down to the river.  Ana was sad to see us go and I hope that we can make it back up before I go back to work but I am not sure that will happen.

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.
