This week....

On the day Andrew was born my parents found out my dad had cancer.  A fact they hid for a few days.  The cancer has spread through his whole body although the doctors think the can get in remission in the next 3-6 months. Treatment started yesterday so we are keep our fingers crossed and lots of prayers that he will kick cancer's butt.  If not then we will deal with that then. 

This last week has been crazy.  Tuesday my phone was lost/stolen and Lee has been so patient about it.  I think we are going to have to get a new one. Speaking of Lee he started working.  Good and bad.  Good because he really likes working bad because I am home everyday with Andrew.  There are days that Andrew just wants to eat and be held.  Then there are days where he sleeps all day. Overall he is a good baby and we are so blessed to have him in our lives. 

The blessing is still up in the air.  Everybody seems to want to know when it is.  I have no idea.  Further more it probably won't be at church and will be at our home. I know that some people have issues with that but since it is my child then we get to make the decision that will work best for our family.

We spend the long weekend in Kamiah.  The kids had a good time playing in forts and riding four wheelers.  We even went down to the river.  Ana was sad to see us go and I hope that we can make it back up before I go back to work but I am not sure that will happen.

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...
