Started this on Wednesday and I just now finished...

On Wednesday I went to help my mom declutter and pack up one of her rooms.  Way more emotional then I thought it would be.  Of course we picked the room with the most sentimental stuff which is why i think my mother ignored it.  Every year my mother has given us books for Christmas.  In the study were several books where she had written in for Christmas for my father.  But what I didn't know is my father had done  the same for her.  My mom asked that I check all the books to make sure they weren't written in before they were given away.  I also found my dad's 35 year award from work and his retirement certificate. But when I left my moms house we had boxed two boxes to be taken to storage and I had a load to take to DI.  My mom called it a success.

I found a PRN job for a psych hospital in Boise that I am think I will apply for.  I won't accept if the hours are not want will work for us. 

It was a crazy busy weekend.  Jake had soccer practice Friday and then Lee took the older kids to movie night at the school.  Kids ate way too much candy and had a great time even though there were some issues with the movie.

Victoria went to her cousin's birthday party Saturday and got a pedicure and pizza.  Then my mom took her from the party to do some shopping.  She got some new clothes that were super cute and some one on one time with "Maga".  Jake had a soccer game (they lost) coach and Lee said it was the best game yet and the boys played very well and everybody was proud of them.  Tounrament is next week and then straight to indoor soccer which is a new thing for us. 

Saturday night we ran a 5k as a family.  Both Lee and I had a hard time keeping up with the kids.  Lee blamed the double stroller which probably play into it but truth is our kids are in much better shape then us.  Victoria did a program called "Girls on the Run"  it is such a great program so great that I offered to volenteer for the next season helping with paperwork and such.  I am glad that by not working I am able to put more time into community events that I support. 

Today after I left for work the kids went to my mom's with Lee to carve pumpkins.  I only cried a little. I was so upset that I missed out.  Lee reminded me of all the stuff I have done with the kids with out him.  Good point but still annoying.  Kids had a good time and Lee said this was the first year they didn't need help. 

Looking forward to another busy week.  Two soccer games two soccer practices.  Two girls on the run.  On fitness night at the school.  One dance night.  One scout night.  One preschool morning.  One feild trip with Jake.  Three Haloween parties one for each of the kids.  Although those  are during pre/school times.

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...
