Where do I start?

If something does not happen this week it will not happen until next year.  Disappointing but not really shocking. So I bought a book.  It has been such a help to me. The book offers so much insight and laughter into what has been going on with me.  Really a book I wish I would have found a year ago. 

My mom had a 6 hour surgery today.  She is hoping to be home Friday but I am not so sure. 

The hospital went well today.  If I could work there part time I would. I could work there 30 hours a week and still make the same as I do in a 40 hour a week job with the state. The money I made today will help with something I am sure.  Not sure if we would save it or use it for vacation or put it towards debt.   Or some mix of the three.  

As I was chatting with a family member today I was reminded just how crazy the family I married into is.  I was also reminded how glad I am for my two children.

I should be in bed. Daylight Savings messed me up a bit and I keep staying up later and later.  Funny thing the alarm clock still goes off at 5:30.

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.

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...
