2015 goals

I have decided to make 2015 about me and I am making goals all about me.  (sort of)
 I have decided that I am not going to continue to put more effort into relationships then the other person. This will probably be the hardest goal of all.
 I start training tonight for a half marathon which is going to be time consuming at least until April.  We are going to take some vacations. We already have four planned and I am sad that Lee will only be on half of those with us.
  I am going to spend less time on the on the computer and my phone which I have already started doing.
  I am also going to start menu planning saving more and reading more.  I have decided one nonfiction book a month.  I was going to say one fiction book in addition to the non fiction b but I haven't found a fiction book I have liked in a long time. Okay I found one that Lee and I are reading out loud right now.  So maybe just two nonfiction books. 
  I am going to stay on track with my cleaning/decluttering/laundry schedule which seems to be working well.   From the last two days alone we have three trash bags full of stuff we are getting rid of.
 
Lee and I have also decided that we are going to start reading the Ensign cover to cover.  Not sure how this will work.   Plus I would like to start reading the lessons from RS since I don't attend.  I wish there was a way to have some sort of online discussion about them.  But not sure exactly how that would work. 

Of course in reality my goals are far more specific.  We would also like Lee to find a new job.  He has applied for several and had one interview (he didn't get the job).  But we are hopeful that by this time next year he will have a new job. 

Plus I like to break up my goals into weekly and monthly goals.

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.
