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.

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...

Time to dust this off

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...

Three Grandmas

With today being Mother's Day I wanted to write about my children three grandmothers.  Since this is my blog I am going to write about my mom first.  The kids love my mom and she is one of the most generous people I know.  She always makes sure the kids are well fed and have a good time at her house.  She was a good mom when we were growing up.  Dad traveled a ton and mom for the most part stayed at home.  But we always had dance lessons, tennis lessons and she some how found a way for us to get there.  I know how hard that is with the two kids I have. The other Grandmother I would like to talk about is Lee's Step Mother.  She has stepped in to grandmotherhood well.  She loves doing things with the kids like cooking and projects.  She loves the kids. She has become a great friend.  She is such a great house guest and a great hostess.  I can't imagine it was easy for her to jump into a family with six children and all their ch...
