A look Ahead

I survived Kamiah and the drive. And I took one picture. :(  We went to Kamiah Days, kids got to ride the four wheeler and ride in the Mustang.  I got to drive the Mustang.  :)  Luke didn't sleep well at all there but seems to be doing better now that we are home.

  I miss Lee but we are doing just fine without him.  By Sunday I may have a different way of thinking.  This trip is harder because I can't talk to him and I have four kids instead of the three I had last year.  But he will be home before I know it.  This week we have soccer, dance, scouts, activity days, MOPS,  soccer, church meeting,  work Bar B Q, a baptism, soccer game, baby blessing.   :)  Add to that homework and all the school stuff we are busy.  But we will make it through. 

I start my new job Monday.  I am a little stressed about it.  Monday is in Nampa but Tuesday is all day in Boise and it just dawned on me I don't have a babysitter those days.  Oops.  I am looking forward to being back to work.  (A neighbor offered to babysit they need the money and I need the help)

Life is good.  I really can't complain.  I wish I could talk to Lee or at least know he is okay.  He doesn't have any phone service so I can only chat with him when they land somewhere with free wifi.   I think they were going to hit Alaska tomorrow. 

I am feeling very blessed. 

We have come to the conclusion that Victoria should be tested for a learning disability.  We are fairly certain that once she is tested that we will be able to find a way to get her brain to start processing words correctly.  At this point we are just setting up appointments to try and figure out whee the brain's  miscommunication is.   It has been an emotional week or so as we weighted all the options. Our question now is do we have the school complete the testing or do we have a private agency do it.  Both have pros and cons for sure.

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...
