Perfection and Washington

Only about half of all the post I write get posted.  Mostly because writing clears my head but that doesn't necessarily mean that I want to share everything with you.  Blogs are super funny things to me.  Especially with people who I know personally.  It is funny to me how people present this perfect life when I know for a fact the person isn't anything like that.  But perception is reality and that is the way it is.  I like blogs that show the family more the way they are. 

We had a blast in Washington, dinners, movies, roller skating, basketball game, and we ended the weekend at Chuck E Cheese.  Our friends are great.  But now back to reality.  Chapter two of my thesis is due Friday and Lee will be gone all day Thursday on a one day trip to Utah.  Since I have school the kids will be spending ALL day with my parents.  From seven in the morning until ten at night.  Which I hate.  I love my parents they are great.  But I would rather be the one spending all the day with the kids.   Plus I am sure the kids will be spoiled most the day.  My parents have a way of making the kids feel special. 

Back to the trip,  Jake had a total meltdown right before Chuck E Cheese and Victoria bit her her four year old friend.  Yup it was great.  :)  Actually I think those were the only two things that went really wrong. Our kids are growing up and are having less meltdowns and we are able to have more fun because of it. 


My last two trips to Washington have inspired me to get rid of stuff.  Lots of stuff. We have gotten rid of a ton this past year but there is still more to do.   Lee would like to have a garage sale but I just want the ARC to come take it away.

Random Thoughts

I sometimes wonder where to draw the line in this whole blogging thing.  I could make us look like the "perfect" family or I could deal with all of our disappointment and make everybody think that we quite possible have the worse life ever.  Or maybe there is a middle ground somewhere that I have yet to find in this blog.  Today was a rough day.  Don't get me wrong I am so excited that everybody around me is having babies.  But for some reason today I was caught up in the losses all over again.  I am wondering when it stops.  Maybe it never does.  Maybe it will be a life time of wondering what if I would have gone full term.  Several people have asked when (or if) we are going to have another baby.  I am not sure.  Sometimes that answer is yes and sometimes it is no.  But one thing is for certain it isn't right now.  Really I don't need to have a ton of kids to fill some void.  I love my two kids and if that is all ...

Family News

What a weekend.  I blew out a tire 5 minutes into the trip and then had to switch out vans we hit some snow but nothing major.  The kids had a blast playing with the boys and although the bishop spoke too long at the ceremony the wedding was nice.  The reception was nice and the kids ran around with their cousins and Lee and I were able to catch up with everybody on their lives.  I am glad our kids are older and don't need constant supervision.  Several of Lee's cousins have kids in the 12-24 months age range.  That age is so hard and there was no way they would be able to run around with out adult supervision.  It was nice to get some family news like one cousin is a polygamist and another is getting married very shortly.   Another is traveling the world and another has made their home in the mountains.  One cousin is trying to qualify for the Boston Marathon and another is just trying to survive her husband's major depression.  Sev...

February

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...
