May Madness

1) I started doing some internet surveys for money. My goal was to make $300 and I made about a third of that because I mostly only do them when work is slow. 

2) Track and Tennis ended the first week of the month.  I didn't really realize how much time it was taking.  Really mixed emotions about sports being over for the season.

3) Luke finished preschool.  I am glad we will have the summer break for him. 

4) We found the boys a preschool/day care for the summer.  Andrew is the most excited about it.

5) Lee took the kids to Kamiah to help his dad get some stuff set up for the reunion.  The house was too quiet and it wasn't much fun coming home from work to a silent house.  Lee has zero sympathy.

6) I went to Arizona for a weekend.  Got super sick because I was dumb and didn't eat and forgot the Arizona sun is more powerful then up North.  Great time though and I miss my friend so much. 

7) Andrew ended kindergarten with a 'Teddy Bear Picnic"  He has grown up so much this year.  Not sure I am ready to give him up for all day next year.

We have been getting ready for Trek.  I am training for my half marathon.  I am looking forward to having the kids home this summer.  Lee picked dates for the bike trip.  I planned another vacation for me and the kids that wasn't in the original family plans.

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.
