What a week!

What an emotional draining week.  Took everything I had to keep my sanity. 

 Wednesday was court of honor for Jake he earned several merit badges.  Later that night we found out somebody from church died.  She was young and one of the nicest, kindest people I have had the privilege  of knowing. Lee will likely attend the service.  I am still undecided.

Thursday was the first cross county meet.  It wasn't great.  It wasn't even good.  Jake got passed up by a good friend but still maintained his spot. Victoria lost an whole minute and lost her standing as one of the top JV runners she cried and then I cried. But there is always next week and there is always another meet (at least for a few more years).

Then we went to meet the teacher at the middle school. My kids have the most amazing teachers.  Teachers who know their strengths and weaknesses.  Teachers who are passionate about what they are teaching and know the subject well.  


Friday just because the week was so emotional Lee and I went out to Sushi with his cousin and wife.  We laughed a lot and we ate a lot and it was fabulous. 

I worked Saturday Sunday and Monday.  We have our students starting here this week and I don't love having them here.  But I think it is such a great experience.

Then since it was the end of the month we had a budget meeting to reconcile August.  Always emotional! August was not a great month and due to Duke's major medical bills we ended up going backwards in regards to debt.

Luke starts preschool Wednesday.  Andrew is doing so well in first grade.  Older kids are excelling in school and for the most part in cross country and with music. 

I am not sure what I am going to do with all my time while Luke is in preschool but I have done some praying that I can be guided to know where I can best serve. 

In some ways I feel as though I can conquer everything and in some ways I feel as though I am so inadequate.

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...

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...

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...
