Spring Break

The short story is I really wanted to get out of town.  I get "cabin fever" as my mom calls it and I just wanted to get away for a few days.  Since Lee worked and I didn't the kids and I headed to Salt Lake.  It was a chaotic mess but we survived had some fun saw some really amazing new things. 

I bought Andrew a life jacket and he had so much fun in the pool   Pool was a saline pool.  Which was nice.

We stayed in an extended stay hotel.  We got a noise compliant the first night.  The second night Luke refused to sleep until 3:30 pm.  I was so frustrated and sad and felt as though my prayers weren't being hurt or answered.

In two days we went to:
Day One:
Thanksgiving Point
Lion House for Lunch
Tracy Aviary
Swimming

Day Two:
History of Natural History
This is the Place Park
Swimming

Things we missed that I wanted to see:
Red Butte Garden
Fine Art Museam

Pictures were really limited because I was with the kids so there isn't any with all of us and just a few with the four of them.

Our next adventure without Lee will be while he is on his bike trip.  We are deciding between Silverwood and Lagoon.  Pros and Cons to both for sure.  We may go to Yellowstone for a few days.

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.

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.
