Quick Update Post

1) Jake was accepted into the GT program and will start the end of October,  He was getting bored with third grade math so in addition to doing 4th grade reading/spelling he is now doing 4th grade math.  We have decided that maybe baseball isn't his thing.  We only have to make it through October and then we can move on to tennis.

2) Victoria is doing the same after school program she did last year and loves it.  She is going to be monitored to determine if she needs to be tested for a learning delay.  Ballet and Jazz is going so well.  Victoria is becoming such an amazing dancer and it is helping so much with her confidence.

3) Andrew just this week decided to walk.  Still doesn't really like because he can crawl much faster then walking but he is getting there.  He is also "talking" quite a bit.  We have him signing a few words which helps.  There about 10 words that we understand. 

4) I am half way through this pregnancy and find out on Tuesday if we are having a boy or a girl  The blood tests came back and don't show any signs of delays which is good.

Lee's cousin was married today I am disappointed we didn't make it to Utah but we had other things going on here.  We aren't going to Washington next weekend and have decided to stay here and rent a hotel.  Kids can swim we will order pizza and have a great time.  Now to figure out how to cancel the ticket we bought for Lee.  Our anniversary is next weekend and we are looking for a babysitter but Lee is so picky about who we leave the kids with that I am not sure that it will happen.

Two people in two days told me it looked like I was losing weight.  A few others agreed who were present agree.

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.
