Productive Day

This weekend was just what I needed. Relaxing and calming.  I feel far more productive then I have in weeks.  Baked bread cleaned the kitchen.  Two batches of wash folded and put away.  PTO meeting.  Shopping at Target with the boys. 

And back to the weekend.  I worked Friday night, Came home to my bedroom full of balloons with "Blue Bear" sitting on the bed.  Years ago when we were dating Lee broke into my apartment and filled my bedroom with balloons and gave me Blue Bear.  I didn't appreciate it as much as I should have the second time around Saturday Lee and I went out for our anniversary after Lee went to Jake's soccer game.  We wandered around the stores for a while.  Bought two tablecloths.  Yup we are exciting.  I found a sweater I loved but I decided to wait until it goes on sale before I bought it.  It was nice to just wander and not worry about rushing around.  Then we came home switched the car for the motorcycle and for the first time in several years we were able to go on a ride together.  We went to an AMAZING place to eat.  Lee wasn't totally sold when we got there but when we left he said he would eat there again.  It was more then we usually pay for dinner.  My parents (now mother) give us money to eat out every year on our anniversary so we didn't pay for the whole cost. 

Sunday I worked a full shift which is unusual but Lee had his cousin and their three kids over for dinner. Lee also cooked a great dinner which I ate after work.

Tonight we went to the Farmstead it was fun.  The kids went down slides, jumped on the jumping pillow.  The little boys played in the corn and did a ride on a cow train. Lee took the the little boys home and the older kids and I went through the maze.  We got lost and ended up there until closing time when they came and found us.  It was really a great night.

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...

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...
