This weekend changes...

I was telling Lee that I can only deal with one crisis at a time.  This week it was Andrew, next week Dad.   After that maybe work.  Today was going to a work in the garden day but we have decided to go over to my parents house and clean.  My mom fell off a ladder at their cabin and while there is no broken bones she is pretty sore and so we are going to go make sure they have a clean house when they get home. 

Our taxes still aren't done and at this point I am thinking of asking for an extension.  I think we are missing stuff at this point there is so much going on I am not sure I have to time and energy to find it all in the next few weeks. 

I loved having my friend here last weekend.  She took Andrew Saturday night so we could sleep.  The in-laws were here Saturday and we hung out with my parents for a while after I got back from the airport.  I miss my friend.  She may be moving farther away to Arizona and although I know that this is the best thing for her and her family it will change how often I go visit. 

Lee's bike trip is less then 100 days away.  I think it may be less then 90 at this point.   My plans for leaving when he did have been changed by a court hearing in Mountain Home.  Speaking of court I did not get my court reports for court done for next week which mean working this weekend and getting them filed first thing Monday morning.  Lee is working as well on Sunday night.  The hours are nice.  Lee can not go over 40 hours a week but they want him to work exactly 40 hours.  It has been a balancing act for sure for him.

Off for a busy weekend.  I am hoping to find a blue tie for Jake and I am excited to share the Easter pics of the kids that I still haven't taken.

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.
