Death Sentences and Moving On

I have started writing lots of time but I just never finished.  I have several drafts that I never published.

We had a family meeting with the doctor.  The cancer is a death sentence.  However it could be years before it comes to that.  It is scary.  But my guess is the fatal blow will be a heart attack. 

I am searching for a new job.  One that is part time.  I am not sure if I will find the perfect one.  My job at the state was "reclassified" and now I am going back to doing something I don't really want to do.  But I have a job that is semi flexible.  I wish we had work at home privileges but we don't. 

Victoria started a new after school program that is going really well.  Actually yesterday was her first day and she loved it.  Jake is now in a 2/3rd grade combo class and is learning at a 3rd grade level.  He is finally getting challenged a bit. 

Only two more football games and I am ready to be done until soccer.  The plan is that Jake will start swimming lessons when he starts the after school program at the Y.  Victoria just doesn't want to give up dance although next year she is talking about cheering. 

I have been working on decluttering the house.  I need more organization if both Lee and I are going to be working full time. 

Well I guess that is it.  Lee is still enjoying his job and they are giving him some tasks that are challenging him.

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.
