Summer Travels

What a trip!  Ten days of friends, clay babies, rose gardens and the zoo.  Of course there was packing in there and Lee and I went to a graduation.  Busy busy summer and we are just getting started.  So glad I am home with the kids and able to take them places.  I almost cried at the zoo because Lee wasn't there but I love that we could face time him and show him what we were up to.  The little boys for the most part did very well.  We got home this morning at one in the morning.  And it was three before Luke settled down and went to sleep. 

I applied for two more jobs and I want to apply for one more.  Things are falling into place and there are several PRN/flex jobs as well as one part time one.  I just have to find the perfect one for us.

Anyway things are going well.  Day camp was Tuesday and Jake had fun.   Lee had a friend staying the weekend with us. Busy busy!!  So glad we decided on no sports this summer.  Not like we really decided the kids just didn't have any summer ones they wanted to do.  Dance and soccer will be here soon enough.

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.
