The end is near

It has been a long week.  Super long.  On Monday and Tuesday the kids and I went to Utah.  Saw the new Ogden temple which was amazing and disappointing all at the same time, swam in the hotel pool and slept in the most comfy bed other.  Then on Tuesday we went to temple square.  Kids had a great time learning about the temple they loved the model and statue of Christ.  But....Tuesday morning around 1:00 am Andrew woke up running a fever and has been miserable since.  He is way better then he was Tuesday and Wednesday but is still a super grouch which is unlike Andrew. But he is near the end of the sickness.Whatever it was.  Last night he slept 14 hours.

The end of summer is near.  One more week.  One week from tomorrow night we will be putting the final touches on back to school stuff.  I am sad.  Sad we didn't do enough this summer, sad that they are going back, sad because I am going to miss them.  Sad that no matter how much I pray about it homeschooling isn't for us.

The end of my stay at home days are coming to an end.  On Monday I will have an official offer from a local hospital. I start September 8th. After three interviews with different people every time they must have liked me because they said I had the job but due to some dumb thing they can not give an offer until Monday.  I am so thrilled about this job.  I truly believe that God has been preparing me for this moment for five years.  There are too many decisions that were made that took me to this exact spot this exact job that makes me know beyond a doubt that I was guided.  Even though at the time it didn't make any sense. 

The end of the no kid activity summer is over.  We didn't even do swimming lessons which were originally  part of the plan.  Dance starts Tuesday and then Monday starts soccer. Then after soccer is over we will start  swimming lessons.  I think it is super important for Victoria more then Jake but I will sign them both up.

The end of Luke's babiness is coming to an end.  He is trying to pull himself up and stand.  He is way more ambitious then our other kids.  Even Jake who was on super speed.  It is sad. I want to keep him little.  He is the last and I don't want him to grow up.  EVER!!!

The beginning is here.  Lee's baby sister had a baby.  Of all of his siblings who had a baby this year it is the only girl.  Wonder how that will play out in a few years.  I am excited and nervous for her all at the same time. 

The pics of the summer should be up soon/  Maybe one night when Lee is gone.  bike trip is in 12 days and I am really stressed about it.  I always worry but this one is different way different.  I am debating going to Kamiah for Labor Day weekend.  Pros and Cons of going and staying. 

I guess is the all the ends for now.

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 ...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...

Heavy Week

This week has been so heavy. I had a client pass away and I never got the closure I needed/wanted. Client was not my typical client. He was different and sassy and I looked forward to seeing him every week. Then we went to a presentation. When I tried to explain how dishonest the presenter was I felt ignored. We are pretty anti MLM anyway but not wanting to know is weird to me. There are big changes coming and I am not ready for all the changes. Might be good might be a diaster. Time will tell. Mom's surgery is scheduled in about four weeks. I feel as though she moved it for us. Which is for the best for everybody but still taking on guilt that is not mine to own. Listening to the news about the LDS church shooting/fire in Michigan has been so triggering. I hate that I feel all the all the feeings. How I can envision the people there and the screaming kids and .....on and on. I wonder what changes will come to the church now that prophet died. I hope ther...
