So tired...

It has been an emotionally draining week.  I feel as though my kids got neglected but we all survived.  Tomorrow we have friends coming into town and the house isn't clean and I really don't care.  This is the first time in several years we will be spending New Year's here I am super excited to be celebrating with friends.  We will go up to Kamiah in a few weeks so that should make up for us not being there for the holidays. 

My trip to Salt Lake was emotionally draining and I question if we did the right thing.  Time will tell.  I am so grateful for an amazing supportive husband who picks up the slack.

Christmas was good.  I will post some pictures when I get around to it. 

I was thinking about my goals for 2013 and honestly there are so many things that I want to do that I think we will run out of time but I like to plan big.  I have a few days before I will post that.  I am looking forward to a new year and new adventures.  I love that my kids are getting older and we can do things and they can help with planning things.  We are working on chores. I still need to get a budget.  Our income as well as monthly obligations have changed and so I have to do some updating. 

Sometime shortly Andrew will be moved out our bedroom and a sewing machine will take the place of the pack and play. I am so excited to start working on some projects although I don't even know where to start. I am pretty sure that Pinterest will be able to assist me.

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 ...

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...

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...
