Cabin fever

Late last week my mom said she needed to go to the cabin I told her if she worked around my work schedule I would go.  She did😄.  We drove up Monday after picking the van up from our mechanic and a drop off at the airport.  Since we were out later then expected we got hotel rooms.  I loved the hotel.  It is older but well maintained rooms are spacious (more so then other hotels) pool was nice breakfast was pretty good.  We did grill your own steaks which was yummy.

We spend two days at the cabin getting dirty and swimming at the lake and doing odd chores my mom needed done.  Jake caught a fish.   

I think it may be our last trip of the summer as Luke doesn't sleep at night well anywhere but his own bed.  Who knows I may change my mind.  

I love being at the cabin.  No cell service no facebook no emails from work.  I did miss texting my friend who is going through some really hard stuff.  

Andrew saw my dad up there which was both heartbreaking and heartwarming.  I love little kids sweet spirits.

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.
