One thing after another

This week has been so frustrating one thing after another.  Now it is 7:30 on a Friday night and I wish I was with my mom's group who is currently watching "Breakfast of Tiffany's" But instead I am sitting in a quiet house while Lee is off skiing with the older kids.  Ski Night at the school was tonight and it made more sense for Lee to go because well...he actually skis.  Lee has text me a few times and it didn't go quite as planned.  Two of the parents asked if Lee could "keep an eye" on their kids.  Well Lee said he feels like he is babysitting them.  I told him that wasn't the impression I got from the parents. 

Work went better today and lots of stuff was explained to me and the other social worker said I was doing just fine.  Now that I know what I am doing.

So one of the same parents who asked that we keep an eye on their daughter up at ski night them proceeded to tell me that her husband wanted to have a chat with Jake because Jake called their daughter fat.  Which he admitted to.  But the part of the story that was left out is that this girl is refusing to allow Jake to get off the bus and is calling Jake names as well.  So we gave some consequences but in the end I wish we would have slept on it because I feel the consequence was too much.   And there is no way I am going to allow this guy to have any chat with my 11 year old son.  No way No how!

I (okay mostly Victoria) made Luke a rainbow cake (fat free and sugar free).  The kids loves it I thought it was okay but it fell apart.  So much so I couldn't frost it so the kids just put the frosting on the plate and ate it with the cake.

Another frustration is I can rarely find a sub for primary.  I asked two weeks ago for the counselor to give me some names.  which she didn't.  I finally got a list and either people can't or they are not responding. 

I am looking forward to the weekend although I work Sunday and a half day Monday.  

I am trying not to get overwhelmed with all of the little stuff and that is mostly what this is.  We need to find a financial planner because both Lee and I have have 401k's that need to be rolled over into something else that is acutely making money.



I decided I would give my self 30 minutes to be unproductive and then I would clean.  30 minutes is (more then) over and I need to clean.

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...
