Marching forward

I can't believe February is over.  Where did it go?  It went to sick kids and extra hours.  It went to dance classes and car repairs.  We also had math night at school. Jake had book club.  It went to finishing taxes and helping my mom.  It went a million different places that I can't even remember now. 

So what will March bring?
  Lacrosse started yesterday which is three nights a week practices.  Victoria will have her first audition for a play.  Jake was invited to be in a spelling bee.  Spring break is at the end of the month still not sure what our plans are for that.  Hopefully we will be able get some spring cleaning done.  My mom needs help getting the house ready to sell. Pinewood derby is in the middle of the month.  We also have a concert for Victoria as well as field trip for her.  I am still working extra hours which should end the end of the month.  Jake has book club twice a month and the school carnival is Friday which I offered to help with.  I am still training for a half marathon which will be here before I know it.  We have a date night planned if I can find a babysitter.   Our plan is for less debt and more savings. 

After two weeks, two solid weeks of Luke being sick I think he is really truly this time on the upward swing.  I ended up sick on Monday the boys survived with way too much tv and not nearly enough attention.  Lee was late for everything that night but we survived and we made it.   Today I am hoping to unbury the house house and get some cleaning done.

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.
