Day 5-Neighborhood Living

So I started this one yesterday changed my mind and came up with something different.  Then today I started writing about something else totally different and then decided to come back to this.  Today after conference we went for a walk.  A walk through the neighborhood into the one across the street to Lee's cousin's house.  It wasn't the first time we did this although it may be the last one of the season.  We walk over the kids play for an hour or two and then we head home. 

I like that we live in a closed neighborhood where the kids can ride their bikes around and I feel safe.  I have looked at other homes.  I want something larger with at least one more bedroom.  But I don't want to give up this neighborhood.  I guess my only hope is for one of the bigger houses in the neighborhood to go on the market. 

I like the circle we live in.  The kids can run around and there is rarely any cars that come through.  Things may change when and if the farmer sells his land but for now I love it here.  

 We have talked before about purchasing a house with more property but as long as the kids are young we want to stay in a neighborhood.  We have neighbors that moved out and live on several acres down the street.  That is their biggest complaint is the lack of neighbors.

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.
