Thanksgiving Break and Looking Forward

Thanksgiving break came and went. We had a cousin sleepover, watched Christmas Movies, watched Victoria dance at the festival of Trees.  Lee and I had a date night. I got a root canal and turned another year older.  Victoria spend Black Friday and part of Saturday.  We ended up with some good deals on clothes and finally found a dress we could both agree on. There were lots of good times and I worked the last three days. Two of the last days I worked both jobs.  Lee and I decided at this time I should say yes to all the extra shifts that I can.  Which means I just picked up another one for February.  Maybe two.   I really missed the older kids today.  The house was all too quiet. 

I only have one more day of this schedule and then I have the next nine days off.  I leave Friday for the weekend.  So happy to soak up some sun since due to the inversion it will be 15 below tonight. Then hopefully next week we will be able to reach an agreement with the insurance company.  I just want to move on. 

I am currently listening to a podcast on Polygamy which is currently going through Joseph Smith's wives one by one.  It makes me a little sad that we don't hear about them in church very much although I don't hear anything about them at all because I am in primary.  They all have their own stories as does everybody. 

I accepted a new job.  It is an as needed job and it appears that it will work out really well.  However, there is a catch.  My supervisor has to agree to "allow" me to work on the mental health unit which may or may not happen.  Either way not a big deal.  The money would be helpful in getting out of debt.  But I enjoy my days home with the boys.

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. There
