The Six of Us

The good of this week: Phoenix was a great time although I think we stayed one day too long. We confirmed our Spring Break plans Lee appears to have recovered completely I stepped out of my comfort zone and went to an RS activity on Tuesday The bad: Feeling totally left out and not included.  You would think that I would be use to it but I just am not I worked more then I should have but one day less then I was scheduled.  Luke was sick Thursday Lost out on a day of pay thanks to Duke Last night I started shaking.  I haven't done that in a long time.  I had to take a sleeping pill to calm down. I haven't been able to run as much as I wanted. The Rest: Trying to decide to rent a hotel in April for game day. March is looking like it will be a crazy busy month Work is going through some major changes not sure if they are good or bad Trying to make decisions with out having all the information.  Kindy or not next  year???  Look for a n...

February was a tough month both mentally and financially.  The light at the tunnel was Phoenix.  Kids had a blast and it was great way to end an otherwise crazy chaotic month.  My goals were blah.  We paid off  more credit card debt then I though but I didn't sew as much as I wanted and I didn't run as much as I should have.  I also didn't read or declutter as much as I planned to.   Although I did reach my goal for losing weight.  So not a total loss. At some point I will file taxes and write a check to the state of Idaho.  I keep putting it off for several reasons.  At some point we will a check from FSA and our gap insurance.  Although a ten page EOB probably will take a while to get through. I think it was just one thing after another and I never felt like I gained my footing.  Maybe because I worked more.  Which lead to more in savings.  Still not where I want to be.  But better then it coul...

Duke turned three.  I am sad.  Three is the end of babyhood.  When kids start becoming "big kids".  He is adorable though.  He talks in this growl when he is being silly.  He is so crazy active and busy all the time.  It is really hard to keep up sometimes.  He is stubborn and cross his arms when he just blame doesn't want to do something.  But he is an angel when he wants to be,  still not a real snugger.  But he loves books.  One day he will be out of diapers.  One day.....

Last Friday Lee and I had planned an at home date night.  He was going to cook a nice meal.  Both the older kids were spending the night else where and the little boys go to bed around 7:30-8.  Around 10:30 Lee calls and says he just isn't feeling well and is heading home. I was out with Luke while Andrew was at preschool.  I get home around noon.  Lee comes downstairs and says he is going to go to Urgent Care.  He clearly was in bad shape so I dropped the kids off at our neighbor and head to Urgent Care.  Lee's pain was getting worse and worse so I said that we had to go straight to the ER.  The doctor comes in and says that he guesses that it will be a kidney stone but wanted to run some more tests.  After they give Lee some pain meds and Zofran I leave to go get the older kids from school and the plan was to take them to their appropriate locations. I was hoping to be back before they discharged him.   While I am at home q...
