Grandparents and Sickness

Jake got to have lunch with his grandparents today at school.  We are so lucky we live so close.  I know that it could all change with a job offer but right now we are enjoying the fact they can go to grandparent's day and soccer games and watch week at dance.  Victoria's lunch date with the grandparents is on Friday.  Once again we have a busy weekend ahead of us.  Soccer game, Lee may be going rafting and having a poker night.  I am going out with my mom on Saturday for RS conference. 

Had somebody tell me today that I should have more kids.  He stated that good families need to have lots of kids.  Ummm....okay thanks for the advice.  He is a good guy who is expecting his sixth and they are planning on having a child every two years for as long as they can.  I will keep the fact that in January I am doing something permanent to prevent any more pregnancies.  I am sure he would give me a speech that I so don't want to hear. 

I cam home a little early today because I was sick/  Now I am sick and tired but super restless so I am doing laundry and in a minute I will be doing the dishes/  I started Flylady again and it makes such a difference. 

We need a freezer but we need a place for it.  So our next project will be the garage.  Lee is going dry pack canning in a about a week.  So I need to organize the food storage and pantry.  I think I may have to cave and start putting stuff under our bed or in our closet,  So not a fan but until we can get the money for the new shelves then we will have to do something. 

Anyway life is good!

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...

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...

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...
