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.

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...
When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.
