Garage Cleaning

Today we did some major cleaning on the garage.  Trash can is full and back of the van is full of stuff for the youth ranch.  My neck hurts and my shoulders hurt and I am good tired. Came across a collection of letters I had been saving.  Came across one Dad wrote me when I was at girl's camp one year.  Started to cry and I could even read it.  Lots of cards from my mom.  When I lived out of state she sent me a card once a week usually more.  

I am grateful to start seeing some major progress on the house.  I have been decluttering the house although much slower then garage in someways. 

Nine more school days.  Ready to slow down and breathe. 

Last regular season Lacrosse game on Tuesday I will miss it due to work.  Manage to work out my schedule so I could attend every single other game despite the fact I am scheduled every other Tuesday. 

Debating working Memorial Day.  I feel like we could use the extra money and Lee feels like I should stay home since I work the weekend. 

So many decisions to make.

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.
