Good Friends

I was feeling a little depressed about family and several situations.  While I was the hospital feeling sorry for myself wishing I could be home with the kids instead of dealing with hospital stuff I got a text from a friend of mine.  She lives in Seattle area and I just don't get to see her enough.  She is going to be in town Sunday-Wednesday and I am so excited.  She won't be staying with me and will be getting a hotel.  She said the kids should come swim and I am going to attempt to get Monday off.  My friend doesn't expect me to but I thought it would be nice.  Even if it is only just a half day.

The other thing of her comng means cleaning.  Which I only have three days to do in addition to packing for Utah.   It will all get done.  Somehow someway. 

My last shift at the hospital until July.  Then only one day in July.  Then baby time.  Wondering if this little one will come early like I think he will.  The doctor said that she won't stop labor if I am 35 weeks plus. Which is less then three weeks away.  Would now be a good time to start stressing? 

We have decided not to name the baby until he is born.  We don't really have any ideas.  For some reason that seems to drive people crazy.  We have started telling people we are going to name the baby Peter Parker Pitcher.  Some people get it and some don't and that is okay. 

We had a bar b q with extended family yesterday.  It was nice and relaxing. We had the chance to spend time with Lee's aunt who is always up on the latest family news.  She puts her own spin on things which make conversations with her interesting. But when it comes down to it she is really a caring person who really cares about Lee.  It would be nice to see her more which we may now that all of her children except one live in a 10 mile radius of us and one of those is going to have a baby in several months.

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...
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.

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...
