some days

Some days I feel like writing lots.  Some days not so much.  Finally filed taxes I think this will be the last year of big refunds.  I have been claiming 1 and I just raised that to 6.  We are going to use the state refund to do a few small house projects and the federal refund will be for debt.  Fun times!!!

Work is slow for me today but crazy busy for the ER. 

BHU is still not ideal.  I am going to work as many hours as I can still at least until summer and then probably not work as much in order to stay home more the kids. 

Not sure what I am going to do about preschool next year for Andrew.  I love the one day a week class he was in this year and was planning on putting Luke in the same class next year when Andrew moved up to "real" preschool.  But.... I am not sure I want Andrew in preschool three days a week and if I go with two days a week it is Tuesday/Thursday and one day a week is Wednesdays. 

I know in a few years it won't matter.  But for now it does matter or it seems to. 

Last night I went out for a mom's night out with some moms from my mom's group.  So much fun.  We sat at the restaurant for over two hours and laughed and talked.  There is another one on Friday with a different group but I am not sure I can go. 

Jake went on his first scout adventure yesterday.  He had fun got sun burnt.  He was nervous but glad he went now although he had to miss his chess tournament.

Busy busy month ahead.

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.
