So tired...

It has been an emotionally draining week.  I feel as though my kids got neglected but we all survived.  Tomorrow we have friends coming into town and the house isn't clean and I really don't care.  This is the first time in several years we will be spending New Year's here I am super excited to be celebrating with friends.  We will go up to Kamiah in a few weeks so that should make up for us not being there for the holidays. 

My trip to Salt Lake was emotionally draining and I question if we did the right thing.  Time will tell.  I am so grateful for an amazing supportive husband who picks up the slack.

Christmas was good.  I will post some pictures when I get around to it. 

I was thinking about my goals for 2013 and honestly there are so many things that I want to do that I think we will run out of time but I like to plan big.  I have a few days before I will post that.  I am looking forward to a new year and new adventures.  I love that my kids are getting older and we can do things and they can help with planning things.  We are working on chores. I still need to get a budget.  Our income as well as monthly obligations have changed and so I have to do some updating. 

Sometime shortly Andrew will be moved out our bedroom and a sewing machine will take the place of the pack and play. I am so excited to start working on some projects although I don't even know where to start. I am pretty sure that Pinterest will be able to assist me.

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...

Time to dust this off

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...

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...
