One of those days

It was one of those days that went from okay to bad to worse to ending just fine.  Lee went to go visit a friend for the weekend. Last night Victoria had a sleep over and I fell asleep with Jake watching TV.  I woke up at 12:45 and he was still watching.  Victoria told me when I picked her up that she stayed up late enough to watch the date change on the clock.  Two tired grouchy kids and one grouchy baby was not fun.  Added to the mix was one crazy two year old.  We survived.  House isn't as clean as I wanted.  but I did get some projects done like getting the Christmas lights down off the tree, picking our condo for Spring Break and writing a letter to a collection agency.  I also fed the kids and did a batch of wash.  Took three out of four kids to Target and went to the bank.

Tomorrow we will pick up the house and have dinner with my mom.  I should have found a sub for my class but with nine o'clock church that is really unlikely.

Something happened today which made me go snuggle with the older kids (who were in my bed watching ice skating).  One of the mom's in my mom's group lost her husband to cancer today.  When I found out suddenly it didn't matter that my house was cluttered. It didn't matter that my kids were grouchy.  All that matter were my kids.

Thursday was a rough day.  The little boys didn't want to nap.  One mess after another.  Then I read this.

  It was just what I needed to hear when I needed to hear.  Life can be so short.  WAY WAY TOO SHORT

Funny story today/   Over the pat few weeks I have noticed that Luke and Andrew are interacting more.  Today they were chasing each other around the couch.  Luke was laughing so hard a few times he had to stop crawling and just lay down and laugh.  Cute boys!

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...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. 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...

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...
