What did we just do?

So today Jake starts Lacrosse and Victoria starts Girls on the Run. Add to that all the crazy we already have going.  Scouts, Hunter Safety and Dance, home work and everything else we have going on.  It is going to be crazy until right before school lets out in May.  But some how it always works out.  I am hoping there is somebody on Jake's team I can car pool with.  I can drive the weeks I don't week and then other family can drive the other weeks. 

As long as the weather is nice the boys can play in the park during Lacrosse practice. Which is the plan for tonight.  Not sure what the plan will be after that.  Just one day at a time. 

I spend the morning today helping my mom clean and pack.  I had my first break down in front of my mom. Previously I had been able to wait and cry in the car.  I hate that she is selling I hate that we are packing up all my dad's stuff.  But it is for the best.  It really really is.  Although helping her clean make me want to declutter and while we have made some progress it isn't enough.

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.
