Easter 2013

Trying to decide if I should post what I am really thinking or keep this a happy Easter post. 

Woke up and the kids saw their Easter baskets.  This is the first year we have done baskets and I think it went well.  Kids got a few things they needed and a few they didn't.  Then off to church.  I got a few pics before church and this is the result
Well...Let's back up.  So we did an egg hunt inside the house because it was too late at night last night when I got the eggs done.  So the kids looked for eggs before it was time to get ready for church

Then we got ready for church.  It was fast and testimony meeting. For the most part our ward does really well with following the standard set by the first presidency.  Then when we got home I wanted some pictures taken.  So this is what the result of that was.




Then the kids finished their egg hunt.  Lee went over to my parents to fix their stove and we joined him after Andrew woke up from his nap.  We had dinner with my parents and came home to finish a book report.  Lee worked this evening which is good and bad. 

The kids had so much with the egg hunt that they took turns outside hiding them for each other.
Now the kids are in bed and Lee is still at work. 

Life is good!

Just in the spirit of Easter...I know that my Savior lives and that he died for me.  I know that Easter is not about new clothes or eggs or baskets.  I know that my kids know that as well.  It is about a celebration of hope of Christ rising from the death.

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.
