Weekend in Review

We had a great time Friday and Saturday with family.  The wedding was great fun great food and lots catching up on family news. and then on Saturday Lee took the older kids to the river for the majority of the day they had a ton of fun although Lee did something that he shouldn't have done and hurt his back.  The little boys slept for four hours during nap time and it was amazing.  Saturday night we got together with several relatives who had come for the wedding but hadn't left for home yet.  I really enjoy hanging out with Lee's family.  They are loud and crazy but we love them anyway.  I so wish we were going to the beach this year.  But we aren't.  For sure next year.  

Luke has decided that he doesn't want to nap today.  So he is super grouchy.  Then Andrew decided he wanted to finger paint with the contents of his diaper. Really it has been one those days where I just want to run away and hide.  The house is a mess.  I want it clean before we leave town on Wednesday.  But tomorrow will be packing day. 

I interviewed for three different jobs and the one I thought would be the best is the one that I think will work out the least and then the one where I didn't really want is now the one I think I want the most.  Go figure. 

Luke is almost crawling I am pretty sure that in the next week by the time we get home from McCall he will be crawling.

Lee's cousin asked us a religious question that stumped me.  She said she had asked several different people and nobody can give her a straight answer.  She said that her husband and her were slightly annoyed by it.

All in all a great weekend.

I need to get some pictures on here.

I am planning my yearly shopping dates with the kids.  I take them to dinner and we go back to school clothes shopping.  Only a month left until school starts. 

If I go back to work I need to find a babysitter.  Ours is getting divorced and moving and a million other things so she is unable to babysit any more.

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...
