Disappointing and then Happy Stuff

So many things that are disappointing and then so many good things.  Kids started dance and soccer tonight.  I think it will be a great season for both of them.  Jake has two kids we go to church with on his team.  The first time ever he has known boys on his team.  I am always so grateful for the coaches who take time away from their families to spent time with my son. 

One thing I struggle with more then anything is being lied to.  I am pretty sure why it bothers me perhaps more then the average person but it hurts,  there is one person in my life who lies all the time about the dumbest stuff.  It has been an ongoing issue.  

Then Jake and Victoria both found out that their best friends will not be in their class this year.  Jake has three good friends and they are all is different classes.  Which is good in the sense that all of them won't be together bad in the way that Jake is disappointed.  Victoria's situation is way different her and her friend are very quiet and soft spoken and so it is more of a struggle for them to make new friends. I am glad we found out today instead of waiting until the first day of school.  I just emailed the principal. Uggg....

Anyway tomorrow is the last unofficial day of summer.  I work Thursday-Saturday so tomorrow is going to be the last day I have to play with the kids before Monday.  I am thinking the pool.  I am dreading having to get up early.

There is a a slight chance that the job I was offered I may turn down.  The hours aren't quite what I thought they were going to be.  Once again Uggg....

Andrew is getting healthier thank goodness.  Luke is getting cuter.

I need to post my pics from this summer.  Nap time on Monday perhaps???

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.
