FInally...I hope

After looking for nearly a month I think we have found a babysitter for the boys.  There are pros and cons but I hope and pray this will work out at least until the summer.

After spending lots of time praying about this situation I feel good about the choice we made. 

Today was her first day and things went well I think.  She only stays until the older kids get home and then she leaves so I didn't see her before she left. 

Luke said he had a great time. 

So we will see how the rest of the month goes.  I only need her for a few more days this month and a few days next month. 

So after babysitting one day she said she couldn't babysit any more for me but refused to give a reason.  So back I go to searching.  There is one person who babysits in her home but her prices are way more then anybody else around here and so if I have to use her I will but I prefer not to.

I am feeling so defeated over this whole thing.  I am becoming increasingly bitter at our old babysitter who decided not to watch the boys with out warning.  Lee had other issues with her so it is better that the boys aren't going there but I still need somebody.  I picked up extra shifts only after the babysit from Monday said she was willing to babysit for us. 

I have emailed several people and gotten a response from two of them.  I will set up interviews Monday and then go from there.

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.
