Yet another day at the hospital

Today I am working at the hospital.  It should have been day 2 of 3.  Instead it is the only day I am working.

I am trying not to get frustrated with the money I am losing out on.  It is going to be a slow day here.  So I am doing an almost two hour power point training on the new Medicare policies.  Pretty sure I won't remember most of it but that is okay. 

Yesterday Jake lost both of his baseball games but I could not have been more proud.  He did his very best and I could tell.  He is trying harder and becoming more confident. He has decided that he wants to play baseball next summer and soccer in the spring. 

We are debating either Hawaii or Seattle maybe Texas for Spring Break.  Lee's sister is talking about going through the temple and then doing a ski trip in January.  But I don't think that is an option for us.  But she keeps changing the date of going through so we will cross the bridge when and if we get there.  I have pretty much come to the conclusion unless it is somewhere close then I won't be attending. 

In addition to Victoria's dance class we will be adding this week a tumbling class.  We may have to drop it in the spring when she starts acheivement days or we will just have her miss a few months of AD and then have her start in the summer.

This next week and weekend will be busy.  Two baseball practices, one dance class one tumbling class, all day Saturday at the baseball feilds Sunday is our anniversary and we are going out to diner we just have pick a place.  Tuesday I have an ultrasound/Dr Appointment. Friday we are getting a hotel so the kids can swim and just have some fun.    Somewhere in all of that I have to manange work and spending time with my parents. It will all get done.

The reason for the hotel is because we had planned a five day trip to Seattle.  So we have decided to stay here and get a hotel instead.  It should be a good time.

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...
