May and Summer Plans

Since today is the last day in May I thought I might blog about our crazy month.  I started my internship at the hospital.  I love it although still not sure I could do it full time.  School is crazy busy and I keep telling Lee this will be my hardest semester although next semester may prove just as diffcult. We will cross that bridge when we get there.  Lee graduated on the 15th.  We had so many friends and family who were to celebrate with us.  Really made me look forward to my graduation next year.  With Lee done with school and no job he is now a full time stay at home dad.  The kids are loving it.  We also registered Jake for kindergarten. 

So with the first unoffical day of summer I thought I would post some of our summer plans:
1) Trip to Kamiah for five days
2)  Trip to Bear Lake for five days
3)  Lee's annual motorcycle trip (This year they are going to Yellowstone)
4) Camping with friends
5) Staining the playset
6) School
7)  Possible Trip to Mexico
8) Losing 20 pounds before above trip happens
9)  Bar-B-Q's
10) Birthday Parties
11) A trip to Seattle (just me)
12)  Lots of fresh produce from the garden
13)  Lots of time in the warm weather
14) Time at the internship
15)  Studying for the CPA
16) Lee finding a job
17) Jake starting school
18)  Lots of time just being a family

I love love love summer!

    Thanks Manda. I am betting only half of them happen. With me in school until the end of July we only have one month to play.

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...
