March Goals

I was going to make a list of all my goals for March but they haven't changed much.  I need to get healthier which I have started but I am still not as good at as I should be be.  I can tell a big difference on the days I drink enough water and the days I don't.  I am eating more fruit and veggies at home but I don't eat healthy enough at work.   That will change.  Plus I need to stick to a budget. Well the whole family does.  We got our taxes done and are waiting for the refund.  That means that we will be able to afford to go to Cali in July.  The question is now do we fly or drive. I am still leaning towards driving.  So booking the condo and the rental car is on my list for March.  Also it looks like we should be able to pay off our final credit card in the next few months.  Well probably closer to May. 

We are still getting rid of stuff and Lee now said I could just give it to good will and now I am thinking we will just skip the garage sale.  I may hold on to it until the end of April and then get rid of it.  I still need to clean out Jake's dresser.  We got some clothes from my sister and they are way too much for Jake's dresser.  So it means getting rid of old clothes and bringing in the new. 

The end of March is the end of the semester.  Still waiting on word on if I can do comps this summer or if I have to wait.  Plus I have some major corrections to the current draft of my thesis.  Which means lots of time to get it to where it needs to be.  But I got some good news from my professor.  He really wants us to succeed.

I am not ready to start this week but at least I only have to work one day and then I have one off.  There are pros and cons to four tens.

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...

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...
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.
