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.

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...
