Just a little about a lot

I have 20 posts that I never finished for one reason or another.  Mostly because I am sure that they will offend somebody.

Lee's friend is coming into town tonight and will be staying until Sunday when Lee will head back to Tri-Cities with him and then come back on Monday.  I know it doesn't make a whole of sense to most people. But I don't owe people an explanation So I am trying to think of fun things for the kids and I to do but I am thinking that we will probably hang out at home after the soccer game maybe the kids will play with the neighbors.  I want to do some major decluttering in the kitchen.  After all that is my zone for this week and I have done nothing.  Hopefully I can get the little people to help. 

I want to try to make some stuffed crust pizza this weekend but we will have to see how that works. 

We have decided to stay here for Thanksgiving.  There are lots of reasons but time off is an issue as it the fact that Victoria would like to preform at the festival of trees this year again.  I think we limited to one performance probably the Boise one. 

I think we finally got Jake to come up with an idea for his Halloween costume.  Now we need some black leggings for Victoria and we will be good to go.  Victoria HATES wearing pants so she is going to have to start wearing more leggings as the weather gets colder.   She seems okay with it and today was the first day she wore them and she looked super cute.  She is anti warm tights as well because they are itchy.  Hard to disagree with that. Somebody told me that leggings don't belong in church but they don't get an opinion on what my daughter wears. 

The kids started something called Fab Five today.  Then had a ton of fun.

One thing about the hospital is that although it has low lows just like CPS unlike the state they usually only last a day.  But that is because I am only there once a month.  It will be nice when we are out of debt and the hospital money will become play money for things like vacations, 

We should be getting answers next week to some major questions.  But for now we are just living day to day.

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.
