Half Way There

Hard to belive that we are half way through 2010. So I am going to address the goals I had six months ago.  I haven't lost the weight like I would have liked to, but I am working out and I am healthier which is so more important then a number on a scale.  We are heading to Mexico in just about a month and so I really need to put some effort into looking and feeling better.

We are getting rid of stuff on an ongoing basis.  It is so freeing to get rid of things.  I love taking huge boxes of kid clothes to good will so we have more room and somebody will be able to use them.  I follow the FLYLADY plan and love it.  I can tell a huge difference in the house when I don't.  I am not one of those people who are a naturally organized person so having a plan really helps me.

Lee graduated and is still looking for a job so our getting out of debt is going slower then planned.  Plus we have had some medical issues so those bills were added to the get out of debt plan. But we are moving forward not backwards and that is something I feel good about.

2010 has been very good to us this far.  No kids in the ER.  No heart attacks, no miscarriages.  I would say it is going to so much better then the previous year.

I really hoping the specialist has some ideas for us and we can go visit the in-laws for the long weekend. If not we will have a BLAST here.

LOCK DOWN

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...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...
