Some Saturday Silly Sassiness

As my sixth batch of wash is drying.  For the record the other five have been folded and put away.  I am going to write.  Because Lee is preparing for his talk tomorrow and if I turned on the TV I would probably distract him. 

Today we stayed home all day.  Well me and the kids did.  Lee went to our neighbor's house to help with building a box, two boxes actually.  He is hoping to get some money out of the help but I don't think it will be much. 

Spring cleaning is still very much in full swing. We are cleaning out closets and I need to go through the toy box as well.    Victoria informed me today that she doesn't have any t-shirts thanks to growing and cleaning out her dresser..  So next week I think I am going to have to do some shopping for summer clothes.  With going to the beach this year we want all the kids to have two swimming suits and at this point they each have one.  Last year we wait too long to buy a swimming suit for Victoria and I struggled to find an appropriate one.  Part of the issue is that Lee and I disagree on what is appropriate and what isn't.  He is far more conservative then I am. So even though it is only March I want to get the swimming suits soon. 

This week on my list of things to do is to get some stuff on Craiglist.  I have never posted before so this will be a first time.  We are also going to give some stuff to a friend to sell.  He is a stay at home dad and has way more time then we do to deal with stuff like that.

Sometimes the things which should be so simpler really aren't.  We are planning a trip in May to see some family.  But it seems like every I turn around there is some conflict.  The weekend we were going to go up is dance pictures. Pinewood derby and Soccer Cup  Now that we have picked the dates then a family member told me that those dates "that seems odd".  Plus at this rate it may just be me and the kids because if Lee doesn't work he doesn't get paid.

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...

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...
