Randomness

At the hospital. Hard to say no to time and half  Busy morning but now I think it is slowing down.   Lots of patients going home or going other places.  I have been so cold all the time.  I have to step outside to warm up.  Everywhere appears to have their a/c turned up to twenty below. 

Looking forward to dinner and fireworks with friends and family tonight.  Kids have been asking all week when we could go get some.  Lee is taking them today. 

The new cancer treatment isn't working.  They are trying something new if the insurance approves it next week.  I think the time is limited and I don't think my dad has much of a fight left.  Plus we just keep getting bad news after bad news and I feeling like everything is spinning out of control.

Swimming lessons are going well.  Jake moved up a level while Victoria is doing level one again.  Sometimes it is hard to forget they are really a year apart.  Next year she will be where Jake is I have no doubt.  We (and by we I mean me) are considering joining the Rec Center.  The older kids are old enough that they will be able to pretty much do what they want while I work out and they have a babysitting place.  I am still trying to convience Lee.  Plus we would get discounts on swimming lessons, Jake's soccer and now Victoria is considering gymanstics.

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.
