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.

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...

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...

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.
