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 :)

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...

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...

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.
