The Six of Us

Just drafted a letter to settle Luke's accident I am requesting 3x the amount of the medical bills in addition to several other costs of me having to leave Salt Lake when we did.  I did some legal research and Lee is not legal responisble for the accident.  Morally is a whole different story.  I emailed it to Lee to look over before he sends it.  If we are lucky we will get one time the amount of the medical bills. So now we wait and go back and forth and back and forth.  We have until Luke is 18 to settle but I am hoping before that. :)  My guess is by Halloween we will be done with this thng.  Six months later. Just agreed to pick up a shift at my as needed hospital.  On Thursday.  Which means working seven days in a row.  However, I said I would only work if I could be out by three to be home for the kids and my supervisors has yet to agree. I will not be disappointed if she says that won't work and I can't work but in my experience that is not how it goes. 

I did it.  In just under three hours.  I threw up at the end as well as other stuff.  But I am so proud of myself. It was hard and I so wanted to give up.  I wasn't sure I would cross the finish line until I acutally did.    Next half goal run the whole thing and get closer to 2:30.  For the next few months I am going to focus on toning and getting stronger.  then the end of December I will start running again.  I may run here and there but I won't be "in training".  My mom told me she was so proud of me.  She said I never do anything for myself so she was happy I did something for me.  Although it wasn't just for me.  It was in part to prove to my daughter she can do whatever she puts her mind to.  She is as strong as she thinks she is.  I started a post about this but never finshed it: I do so much better when I have a list of what I want to accomplish for the day.  Every night I have started making a list of what to accomplish the next day.  It gives me

I ran spell checker and it highlighted all the misspelled words but did not  give me a correct spelling so I don't care.  Last night we were quadapaled booked.  We had four things going on.  So we skipped my work picnic (I went last year and didn't mind missing although Lee did) and Jake skipped soccer practice.  The multi-cultural night at the school was great.  Each one of the kids did a different project on their country of their ancestors.  It was great to see all the different countires and see lots of family stories from the kids. Kids loves showing us their projects as well as their friends.  Victoria learned some cool stuff about her family history and some intersting things about Germany.  Jake's GT parent night was good as well.  He did a personality test and part of it was a suprized but the other parts did not.  Also I think his personality is changing over time. Now I work the next six days.  In three days I will work almost as many hours as I do in five da

I wrote about it on Facebook but more and more I feel so blessed to be able to be home with the boys. Although I am dealing with a crazy teething sick baby and a three year old who has decided that the world revolves around him.I really do love being at home.  Although as Lee pointed out I am never home.  Which is not totally true.  I try to make it a point to be home for nap time every day. Chances are I will probably never stop working completely although when Luke is in school full time I may try to find a different job.  Maybe subbing a few days a week right now the day care would be half what I get paid a day so not worth it.  Maybe I will stay working for St Al's just less hours and drop to PRN.  Since I would get paid so much more working at the hospital then the school. Jake had his first soccer game Saturday and did very well.  The other team had three subs while we only had one and our boys were tired towards the end but they did very well.  They won 6-2. I register

Andrew started preschool yesterday.  I think it will work out well.  He loved it.  When I asked how it went he told me"I didn't punch anybody."  Ummm...okay I will take that as a win since he has been a little aggressive lately. He is 95% potty trained.  He just one day woke up and decided he was done with diapers.   I am not sure why.  He is staying dry at night and during nap time.  I drug Luke to a PTO meeting with me because well where else where he going to go?  But it worked out well. This morning I went and helped sort uniform for Jake's soccer league. Went pretty well with the boys but I wish I could have stayed longer.  First practice starts tonight.  It is  going to be a crazy seven weeks. But I think it will be good. Somebody at work quit.  So I offered to pick up some extra hours in the next few weeks.  Although most of the shifts they need covered I am already working that day which is probably a good thing.  Because I would say yes to almost all of t
