Ten days...of Hell.

I wrote a whole post then Blogger ate it and then I was bitter and didn't want to write another one.  But here is a recap of what was one of the worst ten day stretch ever. 

I knew I was sick.  The kids and Lee got sick but they got over it fairly quickly.  I on the other hand was really struggling.  One Friday night in mid January I went to Olive Garden for a girls night out.  Good food and good company.  I only knew one of the girls but it was great.  I only ate less then half of my dinner which wasn't that big to start with.  Starting that night I struggled to eat and to sleep at night.  By Saturday night I knew I was sicker then I should have been but thought I would just get over it thinking it was a cold/flu thing.  Saturday was Jake's friend party at the Dart Zone and Sunday was "eight is great."  I made it through the party as well as having friends over that night.  Sunday we didn't go to Sacarment Meeting but I took the kids to primary.  After eight was great I went and slept on the couch at the church because I was just too weak to sit through class. 

Every night I was throwing up.  I had a doctor's appointment on that Tuesday in which I said that I thought it was a cold/flu but that I was doing fine. Okay slight untruth.  I really thought I would be getting better.  She was not happy after the fact.

Fast forward to Saturday when I called the on call doctor went to a class and then went to Victoria's dance performance.  I got home from the dance performance after sending Victoria to her cousin's for the night. I spoke to the oncall doctor who thought that I may have some acid reflex and suggested some medication.  He warned that it may be 2 days before things started getting better.  Sunday I was not better and Lee insisted that we go into the hospital.  My sister who had Victoria just took the other two and in we went. The doctor gave me some cough medication and antibiotics.  Monday we were back in the hospital because Lee was still feeling as though something wasn't right.  The second trip the doctor gave me a breathing treatment, inhaler and iv as well as some anti nausea meds.   Something worked and Wednesday I was back to work.  Not feeling 100% but still functioning. 

It has been almost two week and I am just now finally feeling semi normal. But that could be the pregnancy. 

I had a doctor's appointment today.  She is concerned I lost weight and breathing is still an issue.  She did something that if the baby is ready will bring on labor.  They did the same thing with Andrew and he didn't show up for another 10 days. So right now we are waiting.  Hoping the baby comes this weekend.

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...
