Emotions and Changes

This week has been so emotional.  Between work and news of horrible horrible things happening.  Then we got news that we knew was coming which was hard to handle but not as hard as in the past.  Plus the first chapter of my thesis was due today and I really struggled with it.  I am not sure what direction I want take it.  But then tonight came news that made me rethink things. Somebody received some horrible awful news.  My heart is breaking for them.  My life just isn't so bad.
This week I have hugged my kids a little tighter and a little longer at night.   I love my kids and my husband.  I don't understand why people do what they do.  Why do people hurt the innocent? Plus I am really thinking some major changes in my life.  Lee is supportive of them but due some financial stuff I am not sure that I can do them right now.  But I am hoping by graduation then we will be able to make some big changes.  Change can be so very scary but that is how we grow. 
Sometimes we need to put faith in God and just leap.

    Have you ever read "Loving What Is" By Byron Katie? That book helped me understand why people are so horrible to each other. Its never an excuse, but having the wisdom to understand the entire situation brought me some peace.

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...

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...

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
