Always Changing

So yesterday I was going to give notice I wasn't coming back to work after leave but after doing some research I found out that the state can come after me for the health insurance cost they paid while I was on leave.  It makes sense but it also means that either I have to go back to work for two weeks or pay back several thousand dollars.  Maybe????  The handbook states they can not that they will necessarily.  So I emailed HR to find out what my options are.  Really if we had the money it would be worth it to never have to go back.  But.....we will have to wait and see. 

But after some policy changes I found out about I don't think it is any longer a good fit for me to be there.  So the plan is to take the summer off and then find something part time in the fall.  I already have several trips planned.

The kids and I will be spending a week in Seattle/Portland
Five days for Yellowstone
Five Days in McCall
and in August we will be going to Lee's dad's house because his sister from Texas will be there. 
Lee's sister is having a baby in August so I may go up there after she has the baby but that is just an idea.

I am ready to move on despite how difficult it will be.  I am considering going back to school in the fall for a certificate so I can do drug counseling.  But I may wait another year on that. 

Luke is getting better every day so that is a blessing. 

Both boys are napping so I should clean before they wake up and I have to get the older kids from school.  Spring Break starts today.  :)

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.
