Seattle and Sick Kids

So at this moment in time I am sitting in my sister in law's apartment and I am loving it.  I spent the day shopping with my oldest and dearest friend.  We had dinner with Kimberly and Bryan at this Asian shopping center.  It was good not great but good.  Last night we stayed the night in Tri-Cities and we to dinner with some friends.  It was such a good time.  We laughed and laughed.  We were those loud people in the restaurant that you don't want to sit by.   Lee and Chris stayed up late playing games and Lee has been such trooper today even with the lack of sleep.  Tomorrow we head head home.  Not sure where we will stay tomorrow night.

So on to the sick kid part.  Jake was complaining of a head ache when he was in my mom's car.  A headache only means one thing when it comes to Jake.  It means he is going to throw up and he did even before he made it to my parents house and before we made it out of Caldwell.  My mother assured me that Jake was in good hands and to go on our trip.  Jake has several times in the past thrown up and then been fine a few hours later.  We had no reason to assume this time would be different.  Well it was.  Jake threw up in the middle of the night last night.  But was doing better in the morning.  I am so grateful to my parents for keeping the kids despite one of them being sick.  Victoria got to play with her cousin tonight which means Jake got lots of extra attention because when the girls get together there is nobody else in their little world.  Jake is now back to 80% of his normal crazy self.

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...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...

Covid 19

Words can not expressed the range of emotions I am feeling at the moment.  One week ago we had it all planned out.  Then Covid happened.  And the whole world was suddenly on hold.  Kids had school Monday but then have been out for ten days and are scheduled to return on the 20th of April.  However most people think that is unlikely.  My heart is breaking for graduating seniors.  We cancelled our trip to Zion which may have happened any way because it was calling for snow.  I hope we will rise from this stronger but right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Lee now has work at home options since we have not been put on "lockdown" at this point although several other areas and cities across the county including a few in Idaho have been. I try and  look for the good.  Healthy kids, good weather, lots of projects we put off being completed.  But some moments it feels like we are missing on so much. We did church at ho...
