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.

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...
When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.
