Busy Crazy Life

Today was so busy and it isn't the way I wanted it to go.  Lee had an eye appointment because he has decieded he wants to start wearing contacts.  He was gone over two hours this morning which shouldn't have been a big deal but the little boys were so upset about everything that I ended up putting Luke down for a nap.  Then Victoria and I went shopping.  We came home and walked out the door a few minutes later because we had to take our van to the mechanic and we are borrowing one of my mom's cars. 

Came home did a ton of work in the garage in a very short amount of time and I left for work. 

So somebody deleted me off facebook because she said I was too much drama.  What it came down to was she and I disagreed on how something should be handled and she thought I was attacking her.  Which I wasn;t she was just one of the 20 friends who had done the same thing  which I disagreed with.  Doesn't help that I go to church with this person.  She sent a very lovely message telling me I was judgemental and that I was wrong.  Oh well like one of my other friends just posted.  My friends list needed some cleaning up anyway. 

From Wednesday- Wednesday I will have worked seven out of eight days.  Tomorrow I work both jobs and then Wednesday is "only" a two hours of meeting.   Then I work Friday.  Then have a whole week off.  Hoping to get some decluttering and cleaning done but Thursday is my mom's group that I missed last time because of sick boys so I really want to go this time. 

We are having to make some cancelations/replanning of vacations.   I couldn't get the whole week off for Spring Break so Moab is out.  So new plan is SLC for several days.  Kids can still hike and we will find a hotel with a pool.  There is one that I really like. 

We have decieded not to go the beach this year but go next and to go to Disneyland in October.  I told Lee I would only agree to cancel the beach if we went to Disneyland.  We will go the beach next year which I think will be better but I am not even sure that will happen. 

So Lee has decided we need to camp more.  I really dislike camping for so many different reasons but I think the kids are at a good age and it will be fun family bonding (I hope).

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...
