GO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did it.  In just under three hours.  I threw up at the end as well as other stuff.  But I am so proud of myself. It was hard and I so wanted to give up.  I wasn't sure I would cross the finish line until I acutally did. 

  Next half goal run the whole thing and get closer to 2:30.  For the next few months I am going to focus on toning and getting stronger.  then the end of December I will start running again.  I may run here and there but I won't be "in training". 

My mom told me she was so proud of me.  She said I never do anything for myself so she was happy I did something for me.  Although it wasn't just for me.  It was in part to prove to my daughter she can do whatever she puts her mind to.  She is as strong as she thinks she is. 

I started a post about this but never finshed it:

I do so much better when I have a list of what I want to accomplish for the day.  Every night I have started making a list of what to accomplish the next day.  It gives me focus.  It really helps me.  I try and do it when I am in bed but sometimes I do it at work if it is slow enough. 

Speaking of work I am on my fourth day and I am ready to be home with the kids.  Lee has been great but he is ready for me to be home for a few days.  He is leaving for three days.  Hoping we can get some projects done.

Life is good.  Despite of all the things we have going on it really has been good.

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.
