Perfection and Washington

Only about half of all the post I write get posted.  Mostly because writing clears my head but that doesn't necessarily mean that I want to share everything with you.  Blogs are super funny things to me.  Especially with people who I know personally.  It is funny to me how people present this perfect life when I know for a fact the person isn't anything like that.  But perception is reality and that is the way it is.  I like blogs that show the family more the way they are. 

We had a blast in Washington, dinners, movies, roller skating, basketball game, and we ended the weekend at Chuck E Cheese.  Our friends are great.  But now back to reality.  Chapter two of my thesis is due Friday and Lee will be gone all day Thursday on a one day trip to Utah.  Since I have school the kids will be spending ALL day with my parents.  From seven in the morning until ten at night.  Which I hate.  I love my parents they are great.  But I would rather be the one spending all the day with the kids.   Plus I am sure the kids will be spoiled most the day.  My parents have a way of making the kids feel special. 

Back to the trip,  Jake had a total meltdown right before Chuck E Cheese and Victoria bit her her four year old friend.  Yup it was great.  :)  Actually I think those were the only two things that went really wrong. Our kids are growing up and are having less meltdowns and we are able to have more fun because of it. 


My last two trips to Washington have inspired me to get rid of stuff.  Lots of stuff. We have gotten rid of a ton this past year but there is still more to do.   Lee would like to have a garage sale but I just want the ARC to come take it away.

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...

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...

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...
