Tough week

Lee left Friday and will come home on Saturday for his annual bike trip.  And this week has been rough.  Weekend was full off fighting kids way more then normal.  Plus it was the kids’ biggest race of the year.  Yesterday wasn’t awful but I burst into tears several times because I was just so overwhelmed.  There is a fundraiser at school an.d every time I turn around something has come up.  Plus carpool and somebody always needs something.  Both kids have races on Thursday.  Friday is the high school homecoming game and I told the boys we could go forgetting Lee wasn’t home.  Older kids don’t want to go.

Saturday I am doing a 10k which I downgraded from the half. Which I am not at all ready for but I am going to do it anyway.

I did some cleaning and the house isn’t a totally mess.  But it is a struggle.  We decided pizza one night on Thursday and other then that we have had a home cooked dinner every night.

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.
