May Madness

1) I started doing some internet surveys for money. My goal was to make $300 and I made about a third of that because I mostly only do them when work is slow. 

2) Track and Tennis ended the first week of the month.  I didn't really realize how much time it was taking.  Really mixed emotions about sports being over for the season.

3) Luke finished preschool.  I am glad we will have the summer break for him. 

4) We found the boys a preschool/day care for the summer.  Andrew is the most excited about it.

5) Lee took the kids to Kamiah to help his dad get some stuff set up for the reunion.  The house was too quiet and it wasn't much fun coming home from work to a silent house.  Lee has zero sympathy.

6) I went to Arizona for a weekend.  Got super sick because I was dumb and didn't eat and forgot the Arizona sun is more powerful then up North.  Great time though and I miss my friend so much. 

7) Andrew ended kindergarten with a 'Teddy Bear Picnic"  He has grown up so much this year.  Not sure I am ready to give him up for all day next year.

We have been getting ready for Trek.  I am training for my half marathon.  I am looking forward to having the kids home this summer.  Lee picked dates for the bike trip.  I planned another vacation for me and the kids that wasn't in the original family plans.

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.
