Crazy couple of weeks

The last ten days have been crazy.  Last Friday-Sunday we went to visit family iin Kamiah.  Cousins had a great time running around.  Lee had a great time running around like a kid with his brother.  I got to play Capture the Flag for the first iin forever.  Even Andrew played.  Monday I took the older kids and my neice to Lagoon.  It was a scary ride down there.  I blew a tire driving 80 miles an hour down the free way.  Two angels stopped and changed my tire and I can never ever repay them.  But after two expensive tires we made it to Lagoon.  We had a blast.  However, I never got to ride the newest roller coaster but Jake did twice and really enjoyed it.  We stayed in a really nice hotel that I am certain we would have never stayed at if it wasn't for the fact it was free.  Thanks to bad customer service the last time we stayed there. 

We came home and a few days later then Lee's sister and her daughter and his brother and family came to stay.  I had to work all weekend but it is what it is.  But the time I was home was a good time and the kids had so much fun with their cousins. 
The sad part about all of our adventures is there weren't alot of pictures taken. 

Today I had a PTA meeting and then a meeting at my PRN job and then I worked tonight.  Tomorrow will be nearly as busy.  I have a PTA obligation from 9 to when ever the kids melt down.  Then meet the teacher and then I work. 

Work has been slow and so I have been working on  schedule for when the kids are back in school next week.  I am really going to miss them.  I need to get more organized and get back to my cleaning and laundry schedule.  Off to look at my Pinterest pins.   

The day after we left Kamiah several fires started (thanks to lightening).  The fires are still burning and although some areas are "safe" some are not.  People have lost their homes. I keep watching for updates and praying for rain.  They have sent Alaska firefighters and National Guard is on it's way there and I hope and pray they are enough  Despite me trying to talk my mother out of it she insisted on going up tonight.  She is there safe and will go to check out the cabin tomorrow.  I think she just needed to go for peace of mind.

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...
