Work and Work and more Work

I agreed to work at the hospital three shifts this week.  Which means about 70 hours of work from Monday to Sunday.  I did it for two reasons  1) we need the money and 2) I love working there.  By picking up these two shifts I will be half way to paying off our bank loan.  Then I am going to start working on our a  credit card that has been driving me batty.  Student loans are something that we will take care of in the far off future.  Reason being mine may be taken care of depending on where I end up working. Somewhere in the middle of that we have some medical bills and a smaller credit card.

We decided this week we are not going to Hawaii. Instead we are going to visit Lee's brother and family.  I think the kids will have much more fun with their cousins then chilling on the beach.  I am still trying to work out the details. 

I am not looking forward to work this week.  There will be a huge announcement made tomorrow and I am pretty sure I am not going to like it.  Although we will see.  Plus I have to get my comps done.  Plus I am going to slowly working on getting ready for the garage sale.  We have tons of stuff we need to get rid of. 

Monday we are doing a night of services and Tuesday we are going to sushi and Thursday is a birthday party. Then I will work all weekend. 

I should be getting to bed.  The alarm is going to go off way to early.

    Haha- I just figured out that the reason I couldn't comment on your blog was because I wasn't actually "following" it. (At least I think that was the reason...)

    I'm glad you like working at the hospital...and that this 70 hour thing is short term! Enjoy sushi this week. Hope everything goes smoothly with the plans to come visit us :)

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...

Covid 19

Words can not expressed the range of emotions I am feeling at the moment.  One week ago we had it all planned out.  Then Covid happened.  And the whole world was suddenly on hold.  Kids had school Monday but then have been out for ten days and are scheduled to return on the 20th of April.  However most people think that is unlikely.  My heart is breaking for graduating seniors.  We cancelled our trip to Zion which may have happened any way because it was calling for snow.  I hope we will rise from this stronger but right now I feel like curling up in a ball and crying. Lee now has work at home options since we have not been put on "lockdown" at this point although several other areas and cities across the county including a few in Idaho have been. I try and  look for the good.  Healthy kids, good weather, lots of projects we put off being completed.  But some moments it feels like we are missing on so much. We did church at ho...
