Home Alone sort of

Today Lee took the cat to one of the store managers that he works with.  The older kids wanted to go as well.  I wanted to go but Andrew was napping and you know what they say about waking a sleeping baby...

So it is just me and sleeping Andrew.  I am doing laundry on batch #5 and deep cleaning the kitchen. 

Next weekend we will have company who are coming down to help with our floors and maybe painting.  We have huge plans I am just not sure it will all come to be.  We were going to go pick out floors today but Lee's dentist appointment went way longer then we ever imagined and then there was the dropping off of the cat and now Lee and the kids are at my parents so Lee can mow the lawn.  Soccer game starts at 4 so there is no way we can make it to the store that we wanted to by the time it closes.  But I am hoping that Lee will be up for going to Home Depot to at least look and get some ideas with me.  But maybe that will have to wait for this week.

I am excited to see how this will all work out.

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.
