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.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...

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...
