Always Changing

So yesterday I was going to give notice I wasn't coming back to work after leave but after doing some research I found out that the state can come after me for the health insurance cost they paid while I was on leave.  It makes sense but it also means that either I have to go back to work for two weeks or pay back several thousand dollars.  Maybe????  The handbook states they can not that they will necessarily.  So I emailed HR to find out what my options are.  Really if we had the money it would be worth it to never have to go back.  But.....we will have to wait and see. 

But after some policy changes I found out about I don't think it is any longer a good fit for me to be there.  So the plan is to take the summer off and then find something part time in the fall.  I already have several trips planned.

The kids and I will be spending a week in Seattle/Portland
Five days for Yellowstone
Five Days in McCall
and in August we will be going to Lee's dad's house because his sister from Texas will be there. 
Lee's sister is having a baby in August so I may go up there after she has the baby but that is just an idea.

I am ready to move on despite how difficult it will be.  I am considering going back to school in the fall for a certificate so I can do drug counseling.  But I may wait another year on that. 

Luke is getting better every day so that is a blessing. 

Both boys are napping so I should clean before they wake up and I have to get the older kids from school.  Spring Break starts today.  :)

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...
