A look Ahead

I survived Kamiah and the drive. And I took one picture. :(  We went to Kamiah Days, kids got to ride the four wheeler and ride in the Mustang.  I got to drive the Mustang.  :)  Luke didn't sleep well at all there but seems to be doing better now that we are home.

  I miss Lee but we are doing just fine without him.  By Sunday I may have a different way of thinking.  This trip is harder because I can't talk to him and I have four kids instead of the three I had last year.  But he will be home before I know it.  This week we have soccer, dance, scouts, activity days, MOPS,  soccer, church meeting,  work Bar B Q, a baptism, soccer game, baby blessing.   :)  Add to that homework and all the school stuff we are busy.  But we will make it through. 

I start my new job Monday.  I am a little stressed about it.  Monday is in Nampa but Tuesday is all day in Boise and it just dawned on me I don't have a babysitter those days.  Oops.  I am looking forward to being back to work.  (A neighbor offered to babysit they need the money and I need the help)

Life is good.  I really can't complain.  I wish I could talk to Lee or at least know he is okay.  He doesn't have any phone service so I can only chat with him when they land somewhere with free wifi.   I think they were going to hit Alaska tomorrow. 

I am feeling very blessed. 

We have come to the conclusion that Victoria should be tested for a learning disability.  We are fairly certain that once she is tested that we will be able to find a way to get her brain to start processing words correctly.  At this point we are just setting up appointments to try and figure out whee the brain's  miscommunication is.   It has been an emotional week or so as we weighted all the options. Our question now is do we have the school complete the testing or do we have a private agency do it.  Both have pros and cons for sure.

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...

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...

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...
