Yet another day at the hospital

Today I am working at the hospital.  It should have been day 2 of 3.  Instead it is the only day I am working.

I am trying not to get frustrated with the money I am losing out on.  It is going to be a slow day here.  So I am doing an almost two hour power point training on the new Medicare policies.  Pretty sure I won't remember most of it but that is okay. 

Yesterday Jake lost both of his baseball games but I could not have been more proud.  He did his very best and I could tell.  He is trying harder and becoming more confident. He has decided that he wants to play baseball next summer and soccer in the spring. 

We are debating either Hawaii or Seattle maybe Texas for Spring Break.  Lee's sister is talking about going through the temple and then doing a ski trip in January.  But I don't think that is an option for us.  But she keeps changing the date of going through so we will cross the bridge when and if we get there.  I have pretty much come to the conclusion unless it is somewhere close then I won't be attending. 

In addition to Victoria's dance class we will be adding this week a tumbling class.  We may have to drop it in the spring when she starts acheivement days or we will just have her miss a few months of AD and then have her start in the summer.

This next week and weekend will be busy.  Two baseball practices, one dance class one tumbling class, all day Saturday at the baseball feilds Sunday is our anniversary and we are going out to diner we just have pick a place.  Tuesday I have an ultrasound/Dr Appointment. Friday we are getting a hotel so the kids can swim and just have some fun.    Somewhere in all of that I have to manange work and spending time with my parents. It will all get done.

The reason for the hotel is because we had planned a five day trip to Seattle.  So we have decided to stay here and get a hotel instead.  It should be a good time.

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...
