HEART BREAK HOTEL

It has been quite a week.  I have been surrounded by such heartbreak.  The three year old I mentioned in another post was buried on Friday.  I am still not sure why this effects me so much. It just hurts my soul.  Not sure what I would do if I were the mother

My BFF found out that her husband needed emergency surgery to remove and abscess that was eating away at his bone. He had the surgery yesterday and is heading home from the hospital tomorrow,  I hurt for them.  They have been through so much in such a short time and their support system is now 1500 miles away. 

The reunion went well lots of fun.  We went four wheeling and then we went boating and a little hiking wish there would have been more hiking. and there was poker,  Jake did great and won a few times. 

We are leaving tomorrow for the cabin and will be home on Friday or Saturday depending on how much work we get done up there. 

Still trying to figure out a plan for going down to Utah.  Maybe it is just one of those things that we just have work out as it gets closer. 

Luke is so close to sitting up and crawling it is scary,  and teething,  oh how I hate teething,

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...
When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.

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...
