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.

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...

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...

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...
