The end and the begining

Spring break ended today.  Dang I am going to miss my kids.  9 more weeks until summer.  I didn't get everything done I wanted to but we had some fun although we didn't do anything big.  But we have declutter some but still haven't found the library books.

Easter always gives me a since of a new beginning, a rebirth.  I woke up this morning and went for a three mile walk with Jake.  I am recommitting to Yoga and exercise and life. 

We had crocus but then the snow killed ours.  Maybe because this was their first year.  Our neighbors' didn't die but they have been around for several years. 

This next week we have so much going on.  I work two days.  Drive car pool two days. First Tennis meet and track practice.  Victoria's birthday.  Young Women's for the first time.  Plus school carnival is coming up quickly so we need to work  on that. I will be glad and sad when it is over.

My payday is Thursday which means taking time to sit down and pay bills. I am kind of excited to see how much it will be.  I have some overtime on the check and I think it may be my highest paycheck since I started working here. 

I didn't get to listen to conference this weekend but I did hear about all the changes for better or worse.  I will hopefully get to listen tomorrow at work. 

Looking forward to some nicer weather for sure

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.

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.
