Life gets a little dirty sometimes...

Today Lee and I and my sister in law and their cousins and spouses ran the "Drity Dash"  Honestly I wasn't super thrilled about it.  But I went and had fun.  Lee's cousins and their spouses are crazy fun.  I am sad to be missing the beach this year because I do really enjoy hanging out with them.  It was hot and dirty and I am sore and tired as I sit at work.  It was more physical then I thought it would be.  There are lots of pics on facebook but I can not figure out how to get the pictures to be posted on here or anywhere else for that matter.  I am truly blessed to have married into such a crazy extended family.  Rumor has it that another cousin is moving to Nampa although it is just a rumor at this point. 

But I didnt learn that I I should have trained somewhat for it and I should have drank more water this week on my trip.

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.
