Elections and a Gracious Loser

Sometimes you  lose.  On Friday it was Jake.  He told me he wanted to run for 6th grade class rep.  Sure why not.  I signed the paper granted permission and helped with the posters.  Elections were Friday and he lost.  Two girls won.  One I know and one I don't.  Jake was gracious and said that they will be great for the job.  Responsible and respectful.  Some kids took it harder.  That is okay. 

Sometimes you win...
Thursday Jake had a race where he PR'd by a good minute and a half over the last race.  Saturday he had another race.  He took another 20 seconds off his time. 

Two more meets.  And then we are done.  Until the next sport. 

Life is good.  Busy weekend.  Friday both the older kids were spending the night elsewhere.  Victoria with her cousin and Jake for scouts.  We went to dinner at my mom's.  Saturday we went to Touch a Truck where the little boys and Victoria were able to climb in trucks.  UPS, SWAT, School Bus, Towing truck, some construction, the Ice truck was there.  And a few others including Idaho Power.  Boys had a blast.  We then came home dropped boys off at my moms and went to Jake's race.  It was HUGE.  4100 kids all different levels.   Then Lee took all the boys home and Victoria and I went Women's Conference with my mom and then out dinner.  Today I took the kids to church while Lee stayed home with snotty Luke.  We had lunch and then met up with Lee's cousin and kids at the park. 

Great weekend.  Wish I would have taken WAY more pictures. 

Now I am at work.  Hoping any crisis happen quickly so I am not here late.  I am sad to see the weekend end.  But tomorrow are plan is a pumpkin patch. Should be fun. 

Lee finds out tomorrow if he needs another procedure done.  This has been going on for way too long. We are all ready for it to be over.

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...
