Time to Move on

Tuesday Night I cried.  Three different times.  Once when Trump won Iowa. Once when Lee told me turn off the TV because it was clear he was going to win although they hadn't called it yet.  And the last time was when I was in bed and CNN reported that Trump will be the Untied States new president.  I was shocked.  This isn't so much that I disagree with his politics which I do.  But I disagree with who he is as person.  He is a sexist racist pig.  I can't see how people thought this guy who has been married three times and treats women as objects is the guy that we want running our country. 

I can see agreeing with his policies although I think deporting people who have been in the country their whole lives although illegally is horrible and will rip families apart.  I think not allowing refugees into the country is against what God would want. 

Getting rid of ACA 100% will cause lots of issues for working families who have somebody who has medical needs. 

I was hurt.  I really wanted to see the first woman president.  I felt like I was living in "a good old boys club."

But...that didn't happen. So out came the critics.   Conservatives called Liberals cry babies and I was told I was out of touch with reality.  Liberals stopped traffic in major cities.  It was crazy.  People on both sides said things that were hurtful. 

The end result....Nothing good.  We are still divided.  Now would be the time to come together.  To unite against hate.  To advocate for those who are unable to advocate for themselves. 

It is time to move on.  To take the passion people felt against and for Trump and use it for good.  Stopping traffic isn't helping anybody.  Posting things about how people are out of touch isn't helpful.  Take that passion and go to the soup kitchen.  Help a mom with kids.  Be kind to your neighbor. Do something good,  And then do more good.  Make the world better.

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...
