Wyoming and school and Utah

I am sitting in a hotel in Wyoming.  Waiting for my co-worker so we can go eat.  Tomorrow we head home it will be a 12-14 hour drive.  Today we are going to meet with social workers and therapists to get this kid all the services he can get.  As I left the foster parents' home on Saturday morning I felt as though maybe we had made a wrong decision.  The child had been in the home nearly 2  years and she had been through so much with him.  In the end because of her choices and because of the department the child was moved to Wyoming.  The best decision we could have made.  The child just fits in that home.  It was perfect for him.

I am still waiting to find out if I have passed my exam from Tuesday.  I have another exam a week from today.  That one is just as important as the one I just took.  I am looking forward to being done with school and now I am looking forward to learning for fun.  I am thinking about a cooking class or an adult education religion class.  The options are really endless although my finances are not.  I am considering doing something once I am done with school but I am not sure how it will work out.  

The kids slept in the tent on Saturday night sort of a practice run for our trip to Bear Lake. Speaking of I posted a question online and I was told I was being very rude for considering doing something while we are in Utah.  I have made some people mad on that specific board because of some things that happened.  All very junior high like.  But now I am more confused then ever on what do.  Lee thinks that it doesn't matter what we do and it probably doesn't.

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...

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. 
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.
