Life just has a way of working out...

My dad use to say that all the time along with when things did go our way ...You must be living right.  So on July 17th I was schedule to work 8-5 (ish) at one hospital and then 5-10 at the other.  Also I am on call that night from 5-8 am for the hospital I am working the day for.  We rarely get call out.  But there is a chance.  Also Lee decided instead of leaving for the bike trip Saturday the 18th he is going to Kamiah the night of the 17th.  Too much.  I couldn't be in three places at once (work, with the kids and possibly getting called in) so I emailed my one co worker who wanted to pick up some extra shifts and she said no.  Then another coworker agreed if I took a shift for her earlier in the week.  Couldn't have worked out any better.  Not only do I now only have to work the day I also don't lose any pay/  Now I just have to find a babysitter that day and find somebody who is willing to be on call to come watch the kids. 

Every year I become less and less thrilled with these bike trips.  Maybe because every year I have more and more kids.  I am still debating a trip somewhere.  Just not sure,  Luke sleeps so horrible at night but the days we have so much fun. Victoria's dance studio is not doing summer classes and Jake's tennis lessons will be over so we could come some where for a few days,  Oregon Coast???

So when I was at the cabin last week Lee informed me that he would have to take a 10% cut in pay.  Same work.  We were less then thrilled,  Then Thursday he was called into HR and was told his pay would not be cut.  There were a few reasons.  Today they started lay offs.  I really don't know how stable Lee's job is.  We had already decided that if he doesn't find another job by the time the kids go back to school that I will apply for a another part time job with the stability of Lee's job going quickly out the window I want get our debt paid off sooner then later.  It is going down just not as quickly as I would like.  

Life is certainly good

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...
