First Thing I do in the Morning

WHAT IS THE FIRST THING YOU DO EVER SINGLE DAY (I MEAN AFTER YOU HIT THE SNOOZE BUTTON)?  WHEN DID THAT STEP IN YOUR ROUTINE BEGIN?

Uggg....

This is such a tricky question because there are so many things I want to do first thing in the morning.  Or so many things I should do first thing in the morning. 

Let's start with the ideal...
Ideally I would get out of bed and immediately say my prayers and then read some motiavational thing for a few moments before working out for 30 minutes and then wake up the kids.  Then I would shower and be all ready to start my day. 

However...On school days it is much more choatic and the first thing I do is wake up the older kids and hope the little boys don't get woken up in the process.  Sometimes they do and sometimes the kids don't make the bus so I have to take all of the kids to the school.  And that is fine and it doesn't bother me as much as it bothers Lee. 

I think this question will be my motivation for getting up tomorrow and doing what I know will make me mentally and physically more prepared to face the day.

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.

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.
