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.

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...

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...

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...
