Saying Good bye to MOPS

Almost two years ago I was looking for something.  Something to help me not lose my mind as I stayed at home with the boys. Something that wasn't about the kids.  Soemthing that was about me.  That may sound selfish.  But I struggling with a huge depression. I was struggling to fit in.  I was going through a huge identity crisis.  I was praying for something and I felt inspired to join a MOPS group.  My first thought was to find one that was in my community but that didn't work out.  They never responded to the email I sent.  So I sent a second one to the one in Eagle.  It has been an amazing two years full of mom's night out and play dates and brunches.  It was full of support both from me and to me.  It was amazing.  But then it was time to move on.  Not because of anything bad that happened I just felt it was time.  So I decided not to join them next year but I am considering joining MOPS in Nampa.  It is only once a month.  I think that will work better. 

Today was the last meeting

Lee and I have had battles over MOPS it concerns him.  But it is good for me.  I am not sure it is still what I need in my life.  But, I am going to give this one a try.   Nothing has to be forever.  If I don't like this new group I can leave at any time.  :)

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.
