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.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...

February

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...
