Plans quickly changing

I am leaving next week for a family reunion in Utah.  The kids have been asking to go to Lagoon for a while and I thought we could to the reunion a day early and spend that day at Lagoon.  But after some questions to my mom's group (which I am very glad I did) I found out the new ride which was one of the main reasons the kids wanted to go is not up and running yet.  So our plan is back to me leaving Monday and home Friday in time for work.  I know where we are staying Monday night but Thursday night will be a see how far I can drive and then stop for a hotel.  Which I hate doing it gives me anxiety and I will have the kids.  So we will see how it goes. 

I think we may end up at Lagoon when Lee is on his bike trip but right now it is a wait and see.  I need another adult and my mom isn't sure she can go.  We have considered waiting until Lee can join us

We are heading camping on Friday which I am slightly nervous about.  Jake is planning the meals and will need to help with a few other things to earn a scout badge.  He only has six more months until his birthday so we are pushing him to get a lot done this summer before school starts back up. 

I am not sure what I was thinking planning on going camping and coming home for a day to do laundry before we head out for week.  At least I don't work Sunday.  Just Saturday.  If camping goes well we are going to do it again in two weeks.  Kids are excited.  It is way cheaper then a hotel and it is forced family time with no TV and no iphone or ipad.  Just dirt lots of dirt.

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...

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...

When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
