Thoughts on Politics

I think people should vote, especially if they vote my way.  ;)  However if find so interesting that people in my life are mainly Republican although some if not most of these people are receiving some sort of government assistance.  I just find it interesting that those people who are so interested in cutting back on the deficit are getting food stamps and Medicaid for their children.  Do these people understand that in order to balance the budget that some things are going to have to go?  This could be food stamps and unemployment and Medicaid.

I honestly hope that tonight Idahoans vote in a new leader for the state/  I have serious serious concerns about our current one.

All that being said I am so so so grateful to live in a free county where I can vote.  Where my voice can be heard.  Where I can blog about how I dislike current political leaders.  I got a little emotional when I thought about it today.  To think I could have been born in so many other places in this world I was born a US citizen and I am privileged.  Not better but privileged

    Otter won by a landslide. I seriously don't get it. Any state employee could tell you why he really needed to go. I really think that he was elected only because of his party affiliation.

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...

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...

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...
