Silverwood and disappointment

We had such a great time in Silverwood and visiting with family for a day.  Apparently, I am not allowed to be upset that two different family members bailed on going with me and one bailed on child care on Friday.  

It worked out and the kids had so much fun.  The hotel was so much fun.  

Lee came back a day early which was nice and today we were able to go out while Lee's dad babysat.  We went to the Antique Roadshow and out to lunch.  Good times.

My dad has had a really rough week and now we wait to see if this new treatment is working.  Cancer is so stressful.  

My BFF got horrible news this week.  Awful awful news that will effect their lives.  It so heartbreaking to sit back and watch and know there is nothing I can do.  Also that same friend's 14 year old daughter is considering joining the LDS church.  So I wrote her an email about my feelings on church.  Not sure it will do her any good but I hope it will.  She is such a great kid and I hope a pray that she makes the right decision to for her.  Her parents have agreed to allow her to take seminary as well as attend girls camp in a few weeks.   

Here are some pictures of our weekend trip.

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.

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.
