Bonus...

Just got an email stating the amount of our bonuses.  It is three times what I guessed it would be.  I am so happy and overjoyed.  The money will be going into our vacation account.  Then after all the vacations are done and over with for the summer I will take a look and see what is left over.  I am assuming there will be some left over but, vacations are always more then you planned on spending so we will see. 

I am working at the hospital for the next two days.  Then one more shift on the 31st and then nothing until 4th of July.  It will be nice in June to focus on having fun and working just one job. 

I am guessing that the judge next week will order me to move a child to Tulsa.  I don't want to move another child but then time I am going to fly in one day and out the next.  I don't really have anything I want to see or do in Tulsa.  Plus the town I am going to is an hour away.   Anyway, I need to have the house put together before I leave Lee.  His cousin is coming over to move some stuff inside so we can start working on getting things put away.  Most of the stuff is being given away or thrown away.  Still need to do some painting. And some big time organzing.  Once the inside is done we need to focus on the yard.  So much to do out there.  It just never ends.

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.
