Bored at Baseball Practice

I almost dropped Jake off for practice Nd then went to Target I am looking for an ice pack an Fred Meyer didn't have them. But the pain in my leg was more then I could handle. I am glad we stayed.Victoria found a little girl to play with and Andrew found rocks to throw and I was able to do some very painful stretches.
Sitting is painful so laying in the grass is nice.

Jake is the youngest kid on the team. One of the kids was talking about middle school. Several of the boys played on the team played All Stars over the summer. Really Jake is way out of his league but he is improving and seems to be enjoying it

Dance starts next Monday and Victoria will be pushed. Hopefully not too far.

One day Andrew will walk. :) he is my slowest walker. We wait a few months until we stress and by we mean me. Andrew is learning to sign and was in nursery on Sunday and loved singing time.

Lee is working way too much and trying to learn his job. But I am so grateful for the job and what it means for our family.

The school year has started out great. Victoria is doing well in math and reading is coming along. Jake has been asked to test for GT I have agreed to allow him to test but not consent for the program. I haven't shared that information with many people as I have mixed feelings about it. He is doing well at a 4th grade level but I have the feeling this year wont be as easy as previous years.

As for me I have gone four days with out throwing up thinking another boy at this point. Still haven't come to terms with the fact we will have four children. At 16 weeks you would think I would have. The first is my ultrasound so maybe seeing the baby will help.

I have picked up several extra shifts at the hospital the money will be nice when we head to Seattle at the beginning of next month.

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...
