Expect the Unexpected

Lee received a text from a good friend yesterday asking if he could stay the night with us heading to California.  That text ended with Lee offering to go with him.  So here I am for the next four days trying to keep up with Activity Days, Young Men's. STEAM night, and Jake getting an award Friday night.  Add to it me working two of those days and it will be chaotic but it was the right choice no denying that.  I knew as soon as Lee told me he thought he should offer to go that it was the right thing.  There was such a peace about that decision.

But dinner is planned and we have our babysitter lined up.  And if there was a four day period for Lee to leave this would be the one.  Although it is crazy insane I work days instead of my normal 12 hour shift which will help the crazy a bit.

So here I sit drinking my tea watching the Olympics feeling at peace about all the chaos.

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.
