A look Ahead

I survived Kamiah and the drive. And I took one picture. :(  We went to Kamiah Days, kids got to ride the four wheeler and ride in the Mustang.  I got to drive the Mustang.  :)  Luke didn't sleep well at all there but seems to be doing better now that we are home.

  I miss Lee but we are doing just fine without him.  By Sunday I may have a different way of thinking.  This trip is harder because I can't talk to him and I have four kids instead of the three I had last year.  But he will be home before I know it.  This week we have soccer, dance, scouts, activity days, MOPS,  soccer, church meeting,  work Bar B Q, a baptism, soccer game, baby blessing.   :)  Add to that homework and all the school stuff we are busy.  But we will make it through. 

I start my new job Monday.  I am a little stressed about it.  Monday is in Nampa but Tuesday is all day in Boise and it just dawned on me I don't have a babysitter those days.  Oops.  I am looking forward to being back to work.  (A neighbor offered to babysit they need the money and I need the help)

Life is good.  I really can't complain.  I wish I could talk to Lee or at least know he is okay.  He doesn't have any phone service so I can only chat with him when they land somewhere with free wifi.   I think they were going to hit Alaska tomorrow. 

I am feeling very blessed. 

We have come to the conclusion that Victoria should be tested for a learning disability.  We are fairly certain that once she is tested that we will be able to find a way to get her brain to start processing words correctly.  At this point we are just setting up appointments to try and figure out whee the brain's  miscommunication is.   It has been an emotional week or so as we weighted all the options. Our question now is do we have the school complete the testing or do we have a private agency do it.  Both have pros and cons for sure.

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.
