Well things never go quite as you planned. We brought Storm home and she never really recovered. We made the decision to have her put down and on Monday on the way to the vet she passed away. My son is now asking questions about if we will ever see her again and if we are reseructed will she be also. We told the kids that Storm was in heaven with the grandmother which I thought they understood, that was until yesterday Jake asked what Grandma was Storm with the one that lived her or the one that lived in the mountains. Then came the explanation that he had another grandma who died before he was born. I have told him this all before and he knows that Grandpa just got married last year. I really think it is the whole concept of heaven he struggles with. He told me he thinks it is the sky and then said maybe it is underground. He seems to take it all in stride but I can't always tell what he understands and what he doesn't. Yesterday when we walked through the door after church he just blurred out "Mommy I miss Storm." To which I teared up and gave him a hug and said "me too." Logic tells me that she was just a cat but she was really part of our crazy family. Not sure we will have another cat in the near future it all depends on where we are in our lives in a few months.
The governor came out on Wednesday and ordered a lock down. It seems like a good idea and will not changed our lives all that much. We did decided that we would only go to the grocery store once a week we went last Friday. We will go tomorrow which means it will be nine days. Kids haven't been in a store in weeks. Lots of time in the garden and working on yard projects. It has been good and bad. More family time and less running around. But lack of structure over the past two weeks has been tough. Tomorrow would be the day the kids start back to school. It is likely they won't be going back at all this year. Victoria will be the most effected. No eighth grade graduation likely The school could decide to bring back just eighth and 12th graders. Either way they are all out until 4/20. "distance learning" will start for the kids on 4/13. Which is another reason I think they will end the schoo...
