Weekend that was all too short

My best friend came into town for the weekend.  Flew in Friday night and then out early Sunday afternoon.  She didn't come to see us she came because she had a sick realative and she wanted to stay with us because we are super cool.

Her first night in town she hands me a card.  A hand written card with some cash in it.  I was touched by her incredible generosity.   In the middle of her losing a close relative she thought of us.  She thought we could use the money.  We can.  We don't need it but could use it. I cried and she almost cried.  It has been a tough year for her.

I am going take some to spend on some clothes and the rest goes to a family event.  Still undecided what.  I could be responsible and put it towards debt which would get us out of debt 2 months faster according to my get out of debt app.  :)

It was good to see my friend although she did spend most of Saturday with family which was her purpose of coming here.  I will see her again at her place in a month or so.

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.

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.
