Carpe Diem

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 registered for a half marathon.  My goal is to finish and not to throw up. 

This week is insane.  We have something every night and some nights we have two or three things going on.  But I am going to have to slow down at some point.  Sunday is the primary program. Next year will be the only year we will have three children in the program.

 I have a little boy in my class that I really struggle with.  He is changeling and I don't always know how to deal with him.  But, I think things are better.  They seemed better today.  Plus, I think it makes it worse when I am not there. Today he came to church with no shoes.  I know part of his issues is environmental but I can't do anything about that.  He is sweet. 

Kids seem to be doing well in school.  They are enjoying going to school and all the "extras" that are going with it.  I am still struggling to get into a schedule with cleaning and such. I always have such great intentions but then the day gets away from me.  But most everything else is falling into place.

I download all the pictures off my camera and now I have just to get them on to here and printed.  I have deleted a ton of pictures and still have more to get through.

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...
