Busy busy plans

My friend comes tomorrow.  Lee is home on Saturday,  Jake is giving a talk on Sunday and kids are leaving Wednesday for four days with their grandparents at the cabin. Thursday is parent's meeting for football.   I am hoping for a date next week but with Lee working in will be a very short one. 

Meanwhile I am trying to drink enough water.  Another test today to make sure fluid levels are high enough.

Today we will clean and go to my mom's for swimming and then back for cleaning.  I am making bread and I have managed two batches of wash today.

Lee is hiking tomorrow.  Honestly it was the one thing I was hoping they would not get to.  It is a pretty intense hike.  I am so glad he is having a good time.  I am glad he has these trips. I am glad he has a week to get away from real life.    Next year when he is gone I hope to head to Washington for a few days.  But we will see how that goes.  Maybe we will go to my parents cabin instead.  I like to keep my options open.  ;)  As long as we get to spend a week at the beach next year I will be good.  

We are nowhere ready for this baby. We are nowhere close to picking out a name.  But he is showing up regardless on what we are ready for.  People keep asking if I am ready to be done.  The short answer is no.  The long answer is much more complicated.  After four years of trying to get this baby here why would I want to rush through what quite possible may be my last pregnancy.  After four years and three miscarriages I feel like it is such a miracle to have stayed pregnant as long as I have.

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...

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.
