Long Weekend

I just agreed to work (at least) a 17 hour day on Saturday.  Why?  Because last minute the hospital needed a fill in for the morning and  I offered to help.  We agreed the money from PRN will go to vacations and it should be enough for me to reserve our condo for Spring Break. It is only one day. I am a little nervous about Lee being with the kids all day and he is worried about me working that long day. 

Another migraine for Jake today.  :( at least it happened after church but it happened when the home teachers were here.  Jake took a three hour nap and now seems to be better.

Andrew is sick but doesn't seem to know it nearly 102 temperature. Right after I wrote this he crashed.  Only wanted to be rocked.  Good news is he went right to sleep.  Tomorrow is going to be a long day and Lee is working late. 

So many little things that never seem to get done.  I have been staying home more which means more should be getting done around the house but it doesn't seem to be happening.  But tomorrow is a new day.  This weekend I was feeling under the weather so not much got done on Saturday except me taking all four kids to Target by myself.

Today Lee missed church again.  It is the eighth time in nine weeks he has missed.  Hoping that the little boys start feeling better. 

We decided to have Jake's birthday party on the 24th same weekend Lee will be out of town.  Not sure why agree to all of that but I think it will work out.  Jake is pretty excited about it. Now Victoria is trying to plan her party.  :)   

I am exhausted but I don't want to go to bed.  I just want a few moments of quiet.

I got some bad news from on of the women in my mom's group.  She is going to become a widow in the next month or so.  Younger then me and two boys the same age as the little boys.  We as a group have prayed for her.  She is always so kind and is always thinking of others.

Anyway, Lee just got home from his cousin's house and now he is home.

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...
