In a moment....

Lee is heading home from his weekend in Washington.  I text him saying the kids were going crazy.  Ok only half were but it seems like it was insanity.  He text back I should call.  He said no matter how bad it is going there at least your child isn't being life flighted to Seattle.  Turns out his friend's son who he was just visiting crashed his bike and they think there may be liver damage but they need him to be at a better hospital then where they are,  So life flight here they come.  It is a four hour drive from their home and I know from experience they ususally only allow one other person on the flight.  I am sure he will be fine they just don't have the specialists they need where they live. So I am done complaining about the kids tonight. 

I don't foresee Luke ever watching horror movies.  We were watching a cartoon and there is a spot where the dad jumps out and scares the kid.  Luke started screaming the same scream he had at the zoo with the sheep and bats and then ran to me.  He refuses to get off my lap and if I attempt to move him just a little he cries.  But he is watching the show.   I think he has set a new record.  Before today I think the longest he had ever set on my lap was 10.6 seconds and we are up to almost ten minutes and he is still here. I sure love my Lukey Lou. 

We had a great weekend.  Kids were out of school Friday and so Friday and Saturday were deep cleaning days.  We scrubbed walls vaccummed chairs and couches.   The idea was I was going to do some touch up painting but I never got to it.  Both nights after the kids were in bed I just crashed.  The only rooms we didn't get to were bathrooms and the kids will do those tomorrow after school. 

My goal for this week is to stick to my decluttering list for the week.  I work Monday and Friday  as well as the weekend so I should be able to play some catch up this week. 

I am really looking forward to this week.  I have some great plans.

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...

Three Grandmas

With today being Mother's Day I wanted to write about my children three grandmothers.  Since this is my blog I am going to write about my mom first.  The kids love my mom and she is one of the most generous people I know.  She always makes sure the kids are well fed and have a good time at her house.  She was a good mom when we were growing up.  Dad traveled a ton and mom for the most part stayed at home.  But we always had dance lessons, tennis lessons and she some how found a way for us to get there.  I know how hard that is with the two kids I have. The other Grandmother I would like to talk about is Lee's Step Mother.  She has stepped in to grandmotherhood well.  She loves doing things with the kids like cooking and projects.  She loves the kids. She has become a great friend.  She is such a great house guest and a great hostess.  I can't imagine it was easy for her to jump into a family with six children and all their ch...
