Just typing it out

I was dealing with some kid issues and trying to work out the preschool for next year when I was looking for advice from the mom's online group I belong to so I typed out this whole long post.  Then it hit me.  I had the answer.  I know what I am going to do now.  And just by typing it out I figured it out on my own.  (sort of).  I did text my BFF and asked her some thoughts and opinions. And then came to a conclusion.  I am really not sure why I am stressing about this.  I just don't want to fail my kids or myself. 



Speaking of kids there was a few incidents with Jake this week.  First time he was partially at fault owned his role in the situation.  We got a phone call from one of the neighbor moms "tattling" on Jake.  She left out the part of the other child's (who wasn't her child) role in the situation.  Today it doesn't appear that Jake was at fault and even the other child said that.  However, no call from the mom who chose to make Jake out to the bad one.  No call advocating for him.  I have serious ongoing issues with this neighbor anyway.

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.
