Best Laid Plans

I had a list of tons of things to get done this weekend.I have been up 90 minutes and I have made great progress.  But....it snowed all night and so while I was thinking about going out shopping with the kids then I am not sure that will happen. 

I have my second batch of wash going, bread baking, Andrew down for a nap, dessert in the fridge for our church party tonight. I still need to keep doing laundry.  I was hoping for 5 to 10 batches today and I am considering trying out a new bread recipe later.   At some point I need to get some cleaning done.  Victoria is going ice skating today so I only have her around for a few more hours.   I am hoping the Christmas tree will go up tomorrow.  I wanted to make some progress on cleaning out the garage but that is at the bottom of the list.

I have our Christmas card done.  I just need Lee's final approval.  I am still working on the Christmas letter.  It has really been a difficult year but nobody really wants to hear about that.  Hopefully that will be done this weekend and I can start mailing out cards Monday. 

We are doing some rearranging of bedrooms today.  I am hoping to get rid of a ton of stuff out of the kids room.  Victoria has ten to fifteen dresses which is insanity.  Plus we just have way too much stuff.

Also I have to get my license renewed this weekend or I am at risk of losing my job at the hospital. 

I went out to dinner last night with my mom and sister to celebrate birthdays.  My sister mentioned that she didn't feel like shopping this year.  I think everybody feels like that.  I did get some presents shipped out but there are still a few I need to do.  Plus I need to find something for Lee's birthday and Christmas.

Lee and I are still discussing if I will return to work after this baby.  We just see things so differently. 

I guess that is all for now.  Off to get some more done before I totally lose all energy.

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...

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...

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...
