In a moment....

Lee is heading home from his weekend in Washington.  I text him saying the kids were going crazy.  Ok only half were but it seems like it was insanity.  He text back I should call.  He said no matter how bad it is going there at least your child isn't being life flighted to Seattle.  Turns out his friend's son who he was just visiting crashed his bike and they think there may be liver damage but they need him to be at a better hospital then where they are,  So life flight here they come.  It is a four hour drive from their home and I know from experience they ususally only allow one other person on the flight.  I am sure he will be fine they just don't have the specialists they need where they live. So I am done complaining about the kids tonight. 

I don't foresee Luke ever watching horror movies.  We were watching a cartoon and there is a spot where the dad jumps out and scares the kid.  Luke started screaming the same scream he had at the zoo with the sheep and bats and then ran to me.  He refuses to get off my lap and if I attempt to move him just a little he cries.  But he is watching the show.   I think he has set a new record.  Before today I think the longest he had ever set on my lap was 10.6 seconds and we are up to almost ten minutes and he is still here. I sure love my Lukey Lou. 

We had a great weekend.  Kids were out of school Friday and so Friday and Saturday were deep cleaning days.  We scrubbed walls vaccummed chairs and couches.   The idea was I was going to do some touch up painting but I never got to it.  Both nights after the kids were in bed I just crashed.  The only rooms we didn't get to were bathrooms and the kids will do those tomorrow after school. 

My goal for this week is to stick to my decluttering list for the week.  I work Monday and Friday  as well as the weekend so I should be able to play some catch up this week. 

I am really looking forward to this week.  I have some great plans.

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.
