Cleaning or Gardening or not

I was going to write a post about how the kids were out clearing the the flower beds. Which they were.  But when I went outside to check on them.  Victoria was cutting back the irises and Jake was running around the yard with the neighbor shooting nerf guns.  We opened the windows and since they currently don't have screens on them the kids are using them for a door. 

We did get quite a bit of cleaning done today.  I got five batches of wash done and came up with a laundry schedule.  I have one for a while but today I posted it in the laundry room.  

Lee didn't leave until yesterday morning which was nice to have him around an extra night. He should be home tomorrow before the kids are in bed.

I have great plans for the garden/yard this year.  I want to get some blueberry bushes and another blackberry as well as some grapes.  I kept putting things off thinking we may move but we are still here.  I also want a fruit tree or two.  But we are going to have to wait a few months for major planting.

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.
