2015 goals

I have decided to make 2015 about me and I am making goals all about me.  (sort of)
 I have decided that I am not going to continue to put more effort into relationships then the other person. This will probably be the hardest goal of all.
 I start training tonight for a half marathon which is going to be time consuming at least until April.  We are going to take some vacations. We already have four planned and I am sad that Lee will only be on half of those with us.
  I am going to spend less time on the on the computer and my phone which I have already started doing.
  I am also going to start menu planning saving more and reading more.  I have decided one nonfiction book a month.  I was going to say one fiction book in addition to the non fiction b but I haven't found a fiction book I have liked in a long time. Okay I found one that Lee and I are reading out loud right now.  So maybe just two nonfiction books. 
  I am going to stay on track with my cleaning/decluttering/laundry schedule which seems to be working well.   From the last two days alone we have three trash bags full of stuff we are getting rid of.
 
Lee and I have also decided that we are going to start reading the Ensign cover to cover.  Not sure how this will work.   Plus I would like to start reading the lessons from RS since I don't attend.  I wish there was a way to have some sort of online discussion about them.  But not sure exactly how that would work. 

Of course in reality my goals are far more specific.  We would also like Lee to find a new job.  He has applied for several and had one interview (he didn't get the job).  But we are hopeful that by this time next year he will have a new job. 

Plus I like to break up my goals into weekly and monthly goals.

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...
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.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...
