Slow down time...

What a busy week coming up. 

We have something every single night.  I work tomorrow until 11:00. 
Tuesday is the Christmas band concert
Wednesday is scouts and Lee is probably working late
Thursday is an orchestra concert
Friday I work and a Christmas party at a friends home without the kids
Saturday is a basket ball clinic for Jake and Victoria's 5k and my work party (kids invited)

Christmas is finally coming together and I think we are almost done shopping for the kids.  We bought for Lee's family and I still need to shop for my family. 

Plus I still need to complete Christmas cards.  I ran out of stamps so only a few went out.  Not sure I am going to do them next year.  So much work and I don't love doing them the way I use to.  But I do like updating people on our lives. 

There are moments where I am becoming really stressed and there are moments where I am loving life.

Last night we went to "A night in Bethlehem" at our friend's Christian Church.  They played Mary and Joseph and it was pretty great.  You walk through the "town" and then saw the inn and the shepherd, and the angels and the wise man and then the baby where we left gifts that we had "purchased" in town.  It was quite the production. We went last year and they had made some changes which I think helped set the tone better but it meant more waiting in line.

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
