It Matters...To Me Anyway

Maybe I just didn't notice four years ago.  After all we had a two and three year old.  But this year it makes me sad that so many people have turned this election personal.  Lee has an uncle who says that anybody who votes for Romney just is dumb and not paying attention to the facts. My father in law said those people voting for Obama have been fooled.  Really?  I did my research and I am either dumb nor fooled.  I get to vote MY concionous.  MINE!!! I am worried about the future of this country just like everybody else.  ( Well not everybody but that is a whole different post)I am worried about the country my grandchildren will in.  I assume I will have at least two of those but who knows.  

I had a coworker post that she is voting for Romney because she is voting for somebody who cares about this country.  Ummm...okay.  Obama cares he just does things different then you think.  

Here is my take.  I truly think that we are given the choice of two GOOD men. Neither one of them have been accused of cheating on their wives.  I saw interviews with both of them and they both spoke so highly of their wives and children.  These are family men.  Do I want one of them to win more then the other?  YES!!!  Am I moving to Canada if the other one wins?  NO!!!  Why? Because I believe in this country I believe in the goodness.  These are not perfect men not by a long shot but these are men who want what is best for this country they just have different opinions on how and what that is. 

If Romney is elected then I think we will see something different then what he has promised.  Not because he is a liar but because he doesn't know what he is getting into.  It is like being a parent, you never really know what it is like until you are there and then it is just too late to back out.:)

Soon enough we will know!

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...
