Sick and Angels :)

It has been such a long week.  Thursday at my mom's group Luke would not stay in the kids class.  He screamed so I took him out fed him and put him back.  He screamed again.  So he hung out with me and the other moms.  Friday he was sick not super sick but we felt to sick to go to the babysitter so Lee called in sick and I went to work.  Luke just got worse and worse as the weekend went on.  He didn't want to eat wasn't sleeping.  He would sleep for an hour at a time and then scream and scream.  We tried all sorts of stuff and nothing worked.  Monday morning I ended up in our doctor's office.  Luke has coxsickie.  Three days later he is improving.  Still won't eat anything but is drinking plenty so I am less worried then I was.  He did sleep all night (coughing and gagging according to Lee). 

So while this is all going on, Sunday while I was at work Lee called and said he wasn't feeling well.  He spent Monday and Tuesday in bed all day today he is still sick but he couldn't miss any more days.  

Andrew is really snotty but not super sick but seems less energy then normal.  The older kids and I (knock on wood) have been doing pretty good. 

Meanwhile my house is a disaster.  My 40 bags in 40 days for Lent has been stalled.  I am fairly certain that I will be able to catch up on the bag number.  But I was able to run several errands today.  Target, Costco and the bank.  I have several batches of laundry to fold and even more to wash.  Luke was going through three to four outfits a day. 

There has been angels watching out for us.  One of the moms in my moms group brought over dinner last night.  I know several of the moms were praying for us.  Doctor had concerns Luke would get dehydrated he isn't showing any signs of that but I think he is still losing weight. 

I was going to work six days in a row.  However, somebody asked to switch days so I am working four days and off one and then working two.  I worked nearly 40 hours last week which is too much.  But the extra money will be a blessing.  Also we have made some changes to how we are doing our finances. I think it will help us get more in savings and less debt. 

We were going to go out of town for spring break.  But then kids told me last night that they would rather stay home.  Victoria is going to audition for a play and we will go either to the rec center or the Y for a a day.  It will save us some money as well as some stress.  We may take a day trip depending on if Victoria is in the play.

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...
