Win-Win

So for the past several months I have struggled to get our house under control.  In part because I started doing PRN on the Behavioral Health Unit and working more.  So I called my sister and offered to pay her to come over and help me declutter once a week.  It went so well that I have also asked her to come over and clean my bathrooms and kitchen every other week.  Win-Win.  She needs the money and I need somebody to come tell me to get rid of everything.  I am noticing a difference and it has only been two weeks.  (Three times). 

We started track a few weeks ago and are still in the middle of dance and scouting.  Jake went on an overnight campout last night and is leaving again tomorrow with my mom to go see the Falls and then Monday they are heading to the cabin. 

We will meet up on Tuesday and Jake will spend the rest of the week with us at the inlaws.  I think.  Weather isn't scheduled to be great.  So still debating.  Victoria is leaving Friday as soon as we get home to head to Lagoon with her cousin for the weekend. 

Lee and I went out today.  Went to the Garden show.  Wish we would have bought some flowers but we bought some other things that we wanted.  Then went to lunch at this hole in the wall sandwich place that was super yummy.  Then we went and talked to a cell phone carrier about switching plans.  In the end we walked out without switching.  Back to the beginning. 

I will be glad for April to be over because things will start to slow down.  Ballet will be done and Track will be done.  Looking forward to the summer. 

There has been some overwhelming stuff.  When I tried to talked to the person about it I felt very pushed aside as though my feelings don't matter. I understand they don't feel as though they did anything wrong but I just wanted my feelings acknowledged.  Which they didn't.  But they never have.  I am feeling more and more that I will never be good enough for certain people.  Not Mormon enough.  I am sad but I will move on.

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.
