HELLO SUMMER

Last day of school was Friday.  Kids had such an amazing year and the school sends the fifth graders off in style.  There was a bar b q and kick ball game.  Teachers beat the kids for the second year in a row.  There was a game day and an awards assembly.  The kids were able to tour the school earlier in the month which helped Jake some.  Jake missed his last day of GT and so upset by it.  He was just so sick. Both the kids got sick the second to last week of school.  Jake got it worse and didn't move for nearly three days. 

But Jake recovered enough to play in his "Day of Lacrosse" and won both games that day.  Although he probably shouldn't have played at all he was still weak.  But after missing the last two regular season games we let him play.

They were both well enough to go all week the last week of school. 

Victoria danced over the weekend in her recital.  She says that she is over dance but we will see. The last few months she really seemed to lack the passion she had before.    We decided to (mostly) take a break from sports this summer and then we will start in the fall.  We may sign Victoria up for track but I haven't decided yet. Victoria ran a 5K and did amazingly well and so now she has decided that is what she wants to do.

The kids and I are heading to my mom's cabin on Sunday.  I need to just get away for a few days. We still haven't worked out the details but I need to be home on Wednesday because I work on Thursday and Friday.  Jake has a camporee on Friday and Saturday and Lee is going as well.

This week was a Struggle

This has been a tough week. I worked some extra hours which were only five hour shifts but were still were time away from the kids. Kids are at their breaking point and wether or not they know it they need schedules and some stablness. School starts Tuesday and comments about how people hope my kids dont kill their teachers with COVID is neither helpful or accurate. Plus we had a budget meeting after months of no meetings. In which we found out that we had once again over spent in August. Which could have been stopped if we would have known earlier in the month. I sent $1500 to student loans. Andrew turned eight yesterday and I am so thankful for him. He is become such a deep thinker and asks these amazing questions that I don't always have the answers to. The meds have helped slow him down but he is still crazy Andrew. We upped the medications and it was like he was on speed. He couldn't sleep and was kind of zombie like. Then there has been a few moments wher...

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...

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...
