The end is near

It has been a long week.  Super long.  On Monday and Tuesday the kids and I went to Utah.  Saw the new Ogden temple which was amazing and disappointing all at the same time, swam in the hotel pool and slept in the most comfy bed other.  Then on Tuesday we went to temple square.  Kids had a great time learning about the temple they loved the model and statue of Christ.  But....Tuesday morning around 1:00 am Andrew woke up running a fever and has been miserable since.  He is way better then he was Tuesday and Wednesday but is still a super grouch which is unlike Andrew. But he is near the end of the sickness.Whatever it was.  Last night he slept 14 hours.

The end of summer is near.  One more week.  One week from tomorrow night we will be putting the final touches on back to school stuff.  I am sad.  Sad we didn't do enough this summer, sad that they are going back, sad because I am going to miss them.  Sad that no matter how much I pray about it homeschooling isn't for us.

The end of my stay at home days are coming to an end.  On Monday I will have an official offer from a local hospital. I start September 8th. After three interviews with different people every time they must have liked me because they said I had the job but due to some dumb thing they can not give an offer until Monday.  I am so thrilled about this job.  I truly believe that God has been preparing me for this moment for five years.  There are too many decisions that were made that took me to this exact spot this exact job that makes me know beyond a doubt that I was guided.  Even though at the time it didn't make any sense. 

The end of the no kid activity summer is over.  We didn't even do swimming lessons which were originally  part of the plan.  Dance starts Tuesday and then Monday starts soccer. Then after soccer is over we will start  swimming lessons.  I think it is super important for Victoria more then Jake but I will sign them both up.

The end of Luke's babiness is coming to an end.  He is trying to pull himself up and stand.  He is way more ambitious then our other kids.  Even Jake who was on super speed.  It is sad. I want to keep him little.  He is the last and I don't want him to grow up.  EVER!!!

The beginning is here.  Lee's baby sister had a baby.  Of all of his siblings who had a baby this year it is the only girl.  Wonder how that will play out in a few years.  I am excited and nervous for her all at the same time. 

The pics of the summer should be up soon/  Maybe one night when Lee is gone.  bike trip is in 12 days and I am really stressed about it.  I always worry but this one is different way different.  I am debating going to Kamiah for Labor Day weekend.  Pros and Cons of going and staying. 

I guess is the all the ends for now.

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...
