Plans quickly changing

I am leaving next week for a family reunion in Utah.  The kids have been asking to go to Lagoon for a while and I thought we could to the reunion a day early and spend that day at Lagoon.  But after some questions to my mom's group (which I am very glad I did) I found out the new ride which was one of the main reasons the kids wanted to go is not up and running yet.  So our plan is back to me leaving Monday and home Friday in time for work.  I know where we are staying Monday night but Thursday night will be a see how far I can drive and then stop for a hotel.  Which I hate doing it gives me anxiety and I will have the kids.  So we will see how it goes. 

I think we may end up at Lagoon when Lee is on his bike trip but right now it is a wait and see.  I need another adult and my mom isn't sure she can go.  We have considered waiting until Lee can join us

We are heading camping on Friday which I am slightly nervous about.  Jake is planning the meals and will need to help with a few other things to earn a scout badge.  He only has six more months until his birthday so we are pushing him to get a lot done this summer before school starts back up. 

I am not sure what I was thinking planning on going camping and coming home for a day to do laundry before we head out for week.  At least I don't work Sunday.  Just Saturday.  If camping goes well we are going to do it again in two weeks.  Kids are excited.  It is way cheaper then a hotel and it is forced family time with no TV and no iphone or ipad.  Just dirt lots of dirt.

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.
