Hospital, Guilt, School and Friendships

Today is going to be slow.  I can already tell due to the census numbers.   I wish it was busier then I would not feel so guilty about being away from the kids.  Once again Lee is taking them to church with out me.  But we knew when I accepted this job there may be Sundays I would need to work.  That is the thing about hospitals they are 24/7.  I have been able to get out of it until a few months ago. 

School starts on Wednesday.  It is hard to get over the fact both kids will be in school.  What happened to my little six and seven pound babies.  We will meet the kids' teachers on Tuesday night and then follow it up with Super Salad.  Wednesday I will take the kids to school and then I will pick Victoria up from school.  Jake said that he wanted to ride the bus home.  Since he is now a "grader" he will have all sorts of privileges he did not get last year.  Like riding the bus the first week, using the teeter totters, and checking out books from the school library.  He thinks he is pretty cool and so do we.

We won't know the teachers the kids have until Tuesday night.  I know both kindy teachers and either one would be good for Victoria.  I don't know any of the first grade teachers but I guess I will get to know them at least one of them.  Although after several phone calls last week to the school I figured out that Victoria had not been officially enrolled due to missing an immunization.  We decided she didn't need that final shot which the school said was fine but somehow the message did not get passed on to where it needed to be and so Victoria was in limbo. Good thing I called everyday last week before they figured out something was wrong. So tomorrow I have to go sign paperwork stating why my daughter will not get a specific immunization. 

We have also started doing more chores around the house.  Every night the kids have a chore after dinner.  We have only done it about a week and it is working pretty well with only a few tears. 

Today is my best childhood friend's birthday.  She has had a hard year this year mostly due to medical problems that lead to some mental concerns.  She rocks.  She had both her kids long before we were parents.  She is the person I email and say "Is this normal?" when it comes to kid issues.   She more then anybody knows the struggles we have been through.

Victoria will be going to school every other Wednesday and Thursdays and Fridays.  I don't work Thursdays and have decided due to several things going on at work I don't want to make any changes.  I think it will be nice to have a day to run errands and do some major cleaning in the house.  Plus I can pick up shifts at the hospital and be helping at the school.  This year I am going to make of an effort to do that.  Last year because of school it was just something that I could not do.  This Thursday I am going to help my mom do some major decluttering and get a much needed hair cut.  We get a bonus out of helping my mom it because it will be more things to sell at the garage sale.

Anyway I just spoke to the doctor and she wants me to go speak to some patients.  May or may not add more later.

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...

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...

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...
