Planning or lack there of...

Lee has started planning his bike trip for 2013 and since this year the kids and I didn't get to do a road trip I have started planning ours.  I have two options.  Silverwood or SLC.  Both have their pros and cons for sure but I think Silverwood would be the best option.  Lee is going way earlier then he normally does and so most schools will still be in session but not us. I spoke to Lee about this last night and he was fairly adminant that I not take three kids to Silverwood alone.  Something about losing Jake while there was three adults within 20 feet of him.  Dang...I hate it when he is right. Well I have a few months to plan. 

The biggest issue we have this point is day care.  I have a month to find a day care solution that I feel good about.  Honestly, I want to be done working full time by the end of January so we just have to make it through a few months. 

My dad was in the hospital for several days for bleeding.  It was related to the cancer but it wasn't.  Clear as mud?  :)

I have a new cleaning plan which seems to be helping with keeping the house cleaner.  Which is appreciated by all.  I am slipping in the menu planning and budgeting.  Well there is always next month. 

We have moved the baby blessing yet again.  This time to December.  It is really never ending at this point.

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.
