Camping and such

Went camping with the kids for one night.  It was great.  Luke woke up 5 times but quickly went back to sleep.  We set up a pack and play in the tent and it worked out well.The three older kids slept in their own tent and Andrew thought it was cool he got to be one of the "big kids". Jake cooked all the meals and did the grocery shopping for one of his badges.

   I really think that I could handle camping during the week with the kids without Lee.  Of course it is much easier with him. 

We are planning on going camping for two nights in two weeks.  We learned some and there is some stuff I forgot that we will take next time.  We decided we needed to find a place with more hiking so the older kids can run around more. 

Today I got home in time to do one and half batches of wash before running out the door for work.  Tomorrow will be packing and cleaning and we leave again Monday.  My mom is taking Victoria tomorrow which is good and bad.  Good because we won't be so crammed into the car and bad because she is such a help. 

I just booked a hotel for Monday night.  WAY MORE then I wanted to spend.  But it is the same one my mom is staying at and so it seemed like the best way.  And she offered to pay for some of it.  Right after I wrote that my mom called and said she had some cash stollen from her purse.  So looks like we are paying for our whole hotel.  She didn't say that but I can't let her pay for the hotel at this point.

A friend of mine was going through a really tough time in her marriage and in life in general.  I gave her some good advice and then it hit me.  I need to take my own advice.  Not sure if the advice will help.  Her problems are way bigger then what a few texts could offer her.

Anyway,  my shift is ending.  Time to type some final notes and call it a night.

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...
