Five and half long years

For the past five and half years since Lee graduated he has either be unemployed or under employed.While we were grateful for the job he had  Lee wasn't doing real accounting.  Today that all ended.  Lee was offered a job that will pay more then what is making now and he will be doing "real" accounting.   With his raise and my new job we should be able to make some traction on our debt.  I figured out a rough budget based on what I think Lee will be bringing home and did some rearranging of who pays what bills and I am feeling so blessed.  We are so thrilled with the opportunity we have been given and I don't want to waste the "extra" money. Lee starts the 22nd.  His last day at Mirco100 will be the 18th.  Worked out well he doesn't have to work his birthday.

My new job is on hold due to BHU HR.  For some reason the paperwork stalled there.  Everybody else has signed off and is in agreement. My soon to be new boss is getting frustrated. Although maybe it all works out and I will just start the first of the year.   

We are feeling on top of the world and this is seriously such a great move for Lee's career.  I am so proud of him and I know how hard it has been for him to keep applying for jobs and going to interviews.  It all paid off.

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.

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.
