Manic Monday

Lee is in Utah.  He left after dinner and you would think that could handle a few hours with my sweet children.  But they are on one tonight.  We went for a walk which was mostly good and now we are watching Bizarre Foods.  It seemed to settle them down.  Tomorrow will be busy.  I have a lot to do and I don't know if I have enough time to do it.  Tonight when the kids are in bed I am going do some deep cleaning while I am watching "Waiting for Superman." I have heard good things about it and I have had it almost a month so I figure it is time to send it back to Netfilix.

Lee and I have decided to not pay off our debt as quickly as we were.  There are reasons but we have decided that some things need to come ahead of getting rid of debt.  It was funny though.  I thought he was going to be against the idea but instead he was totally in favor of it.  I figure as long as we have no new debt and the amount we do have is going down then we will be doing great.  It will all get paid off at some point.

There is a new position that may be opening at work.  Not sure if I am going to apply but it would be a great job.  But, it also means giving up four tens. Something that I just don't know if I want to do.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things. 

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...
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.
