Surivied the first week

I miss the kids.  They have been back to school a whole week and I have missed them so much.  I am so out of a schedule but in the next few weeks it will get better.  My mom's group starts Thursday and then preschool starts the Wednesday after. Library story time a week after. So for the next few weeks the little boys and I are hitting up as many parks as possible..  I think it will be good once all the fall things start "falling" into place plus it will be just in time for the weather getting colder so less park weather.

Jake will start soccer soon and I just signed Victoria up for a great program called "Girls on the Run".  So that will be Tuesday and Thursdays. 

Life is just getting busier but it is good.  Kids have really started out the year well.

We are heading to Kamiah on Friday so lots to do this week.  Packing and cleaning.  I really have a hard time coming home to a dirty house.  So I try and clean more then normal right before we leave.

Friday night I got food poisioing.  I have had it once and I don't think this time was nearly as bad although I think it lasted longer.  I was so sick for 24 hours and then 24 hours of just being weak and tired.  Lee was gone FRiday night and then left early Saturday morning.  The older kids really step up and help so much until Lee got home.  But I am better although still weak and still a little tired. 

Work is slow tonight which is a good thing because I am not sure how my body would handle chaos.  I am sure I would have made it through just fine.  But now I am filling my time at work with watching documentaries on Netflix.

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.
