Blah Blah Blah...

Tonight I was going to go to a church function.  But I ended up sick. Jake was sick as well so he curled up with me and watch Cake Boss.  If I didn't have to teach tomorrow I would probably not even go to church.  Depending on how tomorrow goes I may send Lee solo. We will see.  I just found out that our taxes were denied.  Either because I type in my kids social wrong or my w-2 was wrong. I thought I was half done with the chapter two which is due on Friday.  Turns out the professor wants 20 pages.  Which means Monday, Wednesday I will be in the computer lab.  I am thinking that when everybody is asleep I will be doing some homework in the business center at the hotel.   I have the information I just need to get into the paper.  It is a rough draft that if I can get written in the format it should be then I should be able to at least get a passing grade out of it.  

Now that I am I home on Saturdays then the house is getting cleaner.  Every Saturday the kids get up and we do an hour worth of chores.  If they whine I tack on five minutes every offense.  One child cleaned for one hour and one got 10 minutes added. 

Next week will fly by and then the next week I am at the hospital one day.  Which means my Tuesday chores will not happen and I feel even more pressure on Saturday.  I guess two weeks in a row that will happen.  I just picked up another shift in April which gives me four in April.  Lee and I were discussing what to do with the hospital money.  I have some ideas but just not sure.  We shall see what will happen when I get the money.  Our two options are save it or pay off debt.  Pros and Cons on each side for sure.

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...
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.
