Death Sentences and Moving On

I have started writing lots of time but I just never finished.  I have several drafts that I never published.

We had a family meeting with the doctor.  The cancer is a death sentence.  However it could be years before it comes to that.  It is scary.  But my guess is the fatal blow will be a heart attack. 

I am searching for a new job.  One that is part time.  I am not sure if I will find the perfect one.  My job at the state was "reclassified" and now I am going back to doing something I don't really want to do.  But I have a job that is semi flexible.  I wish we had work at home privileges but we don't. 

Victoria started a new after school program that is going really well.  Actually yesterday was her first day and she loved it.  Jake is now in a 2/3rd grade combo class and is learning at a 3rd grade level.  He is finally getting challenged a bit. 

Only two more football games and I am ready to be done until soccer.  The plan is that Jake will start swimming lessons when he starts the after school program at the Y.  Victoria just doesn't want to give up dance although next year she is talking about cheering. 

I have been working on decluttering the house.  I need more organization if both Lee and I are going to be working full time. 

Well I guess that is it.  Lee is still enjoying his job and they are giving him some tasks that are challenging him.

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...

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...

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...
