Car Trouble

We had a great time in Kamiah.  It was nice and sunny.  Now we are back to really cold weather and gray skies.  The kids had a great time playing with their cousin and riding the sled behind the four wheeler.  

We had some car trouble.  Yesterday Lee slid into the mountain on the way to church and today on the way home the van kept stalling.  Lee thinks he knows what the problem was but we have started searching for a new van just in case.  Of course the one I want is way out of our price range plus I don't want a mini van this time around I want an SUV.  But somebody disagrees with me.  I am fairly certain that Lee's car is on it's way out the door too but we will just buy him a four door car that will fit three kids in the back.  We drive our vehicles forever or until I wreak them. 

We have some really amazing neighbors who randomly showed up to thaw out our pipes.  all because of some random post on facebook.  

Hard to get over Jake being eight.  Really where did my little boy go?  Just wait until he is 18 and heading off to college and then I will really be wondering what happened.  

I will go into more specifics about Kamiah when my fingers aren't freezing.  Heading upstairs where it is much warmer.

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.
