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.

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...
