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.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends, Jake had his first soccer game. Shawn came to visit. Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids. They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out. We did some gardening. Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids. It was so great to see the family again. I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis. We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home. Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs. Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee. I have four more days left of the semester. Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.

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...

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...
