Pinterest Day

Friday
I am feeling very Pinteresty today.  Yes that is a word.  (If only in my world)  So today I made fabric softener sheets with sponges.  They worked.  YEA!!!  I also made pizza dough for dinner and made oatmeal cookies.  Plus I went to Fred Meyer and WalMart with the little boys.  I changed what seems like a thousand diapers. 

I never finish this post yesterday so here is the rest of it. 

Lee and I are trying to make some hard decisions and I don't want to.  I don't want to do what I know what I need to do,  Stupid I know so I am stalling until the last possible moment. 

I am taking the kids to the cabin in three weeks for three days.  All four of them without Lee.  My mom is going. Worried about how it will turn out but it should be fine.  I haven't been out of town since the beach in July.  So unlike me.  Okay I did take a 48 hour trip in early September to Seattle when my friend was released from the hospital. 

I am struggling with PPD,    I did with Jake not the middle two but I figured with having another winter baby less then four months after losing my dad and all the health issues I had I knew there was a good chance I would. Having a grouchy baby doesn't help. I need some sun.  Wishing we were going somewhere warm and sunny for Spring Break but I will take whatever I can get. 

There was way more I was going to write,  We started giving Luke formula which several people in my life have called "poison" or "crap".  We did what we thought was best.  I am still nursing but I struggle for several reason and so we give Luke a few bottles a day.  Most people don't care but several people have felt the need to tell us how we are doing it wrong.  Okay Vent over! 

Jake started Lacrosse.  I am excited to see a game in a few weeks.  He says he is enjoying it.  Maybe he finally found his sport.

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...
