Weekend of Fun

Lee was out of town this weekend and I just couldn't handle the thought of all four kids and I home all weekend.  Too overwhelming.  So on Friday morning I took the little boys to a field trip a pumpkin patch with their preschool.  Freezing cold fun. 

That evening we went to another pumpkin patch  (one of the hospitals I work at gave us two free tickets and a super discount on remaining purchased tickets) with my sister and all four kids. My sister took the older kids and I took the little boys. 

Saturday Victoria had a ballet rehearsal and before that was a parent meeting.  So I left Jake with the little boys.  Then we went on a hike.  There is several different ways to the top of Table Rock and I was looking for the easy way up.  But never found it.  So the kids and I hiked the 3.2 miles round trip up the cross that over looks the city.  One of my favorite hikes.  The older kids were able to take off before us and the little boys and I took much longer there and back but we made it. 

Sunday after much debate I took the kids to second and third hour of church.  It went fairly well. I was disappointed that we missed the talks because I knew the two women speaking and really wanted to hear their talks. 

It was a great weekend.  Despite me being sick.

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
