Packing

In order to get new floors and paint we have to pretty much move everything into the house into the garage.  "Movers" are coming tomorrow.  Dressers need to be moved and will probably won't be accessible to the kids.  So I came up with a plan.  Actually I saw my aunt do it years ago on vacation and I was going to try it on our trip up north but now get to try it early.  I have a million gallon sized bags.  So I wrote the days of the week on three sets of bags and then each bag has a whole outfit for a kid.  So in the morning all they have to do is find the bag with their name and the day and poof there is their whole outfit including underwear and socks.  I think it will work well and I am excited to make this packing thing easier.  Lee suggested I should have used shopping bags that we have a ton of.  Yup probably.  Would have been cheaper for sure.

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.
