Way too much

We have way too much stuff.  So I have decided every day we are going to get rid of 27 things.  I have stopped following FLY Lady and found something else that worked better.  Although I took the two and mixed them together and here is hoping that it will help to more organization and less stuff.  So here we go 27 things each day this week and then I will see how things go from there. 

Today was Eight is Great with Jake.  The primary did a great job putting it on.  There were even cookies and juice.  Jake so excited for scouts and is finally on board with getting baptized.  He needs a suit and an interview.  The scouts allowed him to start last week due to some things they wanted him to do before the Blue and Gold Banquet. 

We are heading to Kamiah on Friday and the kids are excited to play in the snow and Jake has planned his birthday dinner.  Thursday we are having friends over to celebrate here and then Sunday we will celebrate his birthday up there.

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.
