November 2-Toys

What was the one toy that a friend had that you wished you had when you were little?

I don't think there was ever one toy that a friend had that I really wanted.  My friend had a dog and I always wanted one of those.  Her mom also made iced tea in the summer which was forbidden at our home and had Coke and Oreos something we never had at home.

That same friend loved coming to our home because we had a trillion kids (or four) and there was always something going on.  My mom let us make "concoctions" in the kitchen like pebto bismal.  It was really but it was the same weird pink color.   We had Popsicle and a trampoline.  So she always thought our home was way cooler and LOUDER then her's.  r

I think it is really one of those the grass is always greener even though the person with the grass that is green thinks whatever you have going on is better.

Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness.

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.
