It could have been worse

Last night for some reason I could not sleep.  It was nearly four before I finally fell asleep.  I had been asked although I never committed to go help at the school at nine.  Lucky for me the boys slept until almost 9.  Then we went to the school to drop off some paper and then went to Target with the boys to get diapers and some other stuff the kids needed.  Then we went home and it was a tough day.  I felt like I was moving in slow motion.  But I got Luke to sleep and had Andrew "resting" so I went out to get the mail.  I had six collection notices from the hospital.  Three were different account numbers although they were the same exact bill.  An hour later after talking to two different people at collections and one person at the hospital who gave me a totally different answer then I got a few months ago.  I still haven't gotten any where.  I called Lee at work crying.  Then I make it too work (late) and get a message from our babysitter saying she had found a part time job.  Which means she likely won't be able to watch our boys.  I have six days between now and the end of May that I need to figure out care for.  Once again I start crying.  I am trying to breathe. 

This will all work out.  Some way. 

Now I am work.  Stressing about how this is all going to come together.  As well as going on Pinterest.  Looking for camping hacks. And Homeschooling ideas. 

Hoping for a good night sleep tonight and a productive day tomorrow.

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...

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...
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.
