Meanwhile....

I am so over this babysitter search.  I think we may have to go with the person who is WAY over priced.  I think with family we can make it through March and then I won't pick up any days in April or May which means I need a babysitter for a totally for four days those two months which we may have family help with.  Then in June then we will have the help of the older kids as well as some teens from church.  Who aren't an option during the school year.

But I may find myself out of my second job anyway which is where a good portion of February and March's extra shifts came from.  But at this point I don't really care.  That job has been a source of stress for several years and I have toughed it out because of money and I really don't work that often.  I missed a training.  Sometimes that is a big deal and sometimes it isn't. 

Another reason for not working more is that Lee's work just decided to add more properties and so he will be working late more and although he isn't going to get paid more it is more beneficial to us in the long run that he is able to focus more on his career then mine.

I work the whole three day week and I am wishing I were home however, it is hard to complain when I am only scheduled 4-5 days a month.

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.
