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.

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...
