some days

Some days I feel like writing lots.  Some days not so much.  Finally filed taxes I think this will be the last year of big refunds.  I have been claiming 1 and I just raised that to 6.  We are going to use the state refund to do a few small house projects and the federal refund will be for debt.  Fun times!!!

Work is slow for me today but crazy busy for the ER. 

BHU is still not ideal.  I am going to work as many hours as I can still at least until summer and then probably not work as much in order to stay home more the kids. 

Not sure what I am going to do about preschool next year for Andrew.  I love the one day a week class he was in this year and was planning on putting Luke in the same class next year when Andrew moved up to "real" preschool.  But.... I am not sure I want Andrew in preschool three days a week and if I go with two days a week it is Tuesday/Thursday and one day a week is Wednesdays. 

I know in a few years it won't matter.  But for now it does matter or it seems to. 

Last night I went out for a mom's night out with some moms from my mom's group.  So much fun.  We sat at the restaurant for over two hours and laughed and talked.  There is another one on Friday with a different group but I am not sure I can go. 

Jake went on his first scout adventure yesterday.  He had fun got sun burnt.  He was nervous but glad he went now although he had to miss his chess tournament.

Busy busy month ahead.

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...
When you know somebody is having a hard time in their marriage.  Pull them closer.  Ask to take the kids for a weekend.  Bring them dinner.  Reach out to them.  Ask them how they are doing.   Don't insist on visiting or having them visit you.  Know that their world feels like it is falling apart and it is taking every bit of energy to put on a good face for the kids and to work and run a household.  And it is has to be done while they continue to reside with somebody who they are struggling to have the most basic of conversation with.

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...
