Summer

Some things are going well some things not so much.  Such is life.  I am working at the behavioral health today.   The last week has been so crazy busy.  I took the kids to the cabin for several days.  Came home Wednesday and then worked Thursday and Friday.  Jake left for overnight scout trip tonight (His first one).  Getting him ready last night and out the door this morning was insane but we got it done and I am sure he will have lots of fun.  Lee is going to go up for the night.  So it will be me and the little boys and Victoria.  Victoria still isn't home.  We left her at the cabin to help my mom clean the cabin.  Sounds like they had a blast.  Jake will be going back up before the 1st to help again.  Just lots of little stuff that take up time.

Looks like we decided to refinance the house.  Which has been a lot of stress for me but in the end it will be the best thing.  But I don't know where to start. We are going to go talk to a loan officer at our credit union next week.

I have been working more then I originally wanted to.  But at this point especially with the refinance I want to keep my income higher then "normal" so that we can get our debt down and have a good income.  The other bad thing about the refinance is the home inspection so I am going to have to do some major cleaning. Too tired to think about that tonight.

Victoria made it home a few hours ago. At some point I need to get over to my mom's house to help her clean.

Once again so many things all little.

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...

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.
