Sick and Angels :)

It has been such a long week.  Thursday at my mom's group Luke would not stay in the kids class.  He screamed so I took him out fed him and put him back.  He screamed again.  So he hung out with me and the other moms.  Friday he was sick not super sick but we felt to sick to go to the babysitter so Lee called in sick and I went to work.  Luke just got worse and worse as the weekend went on.  He didn't want to eat wasn't sleeping.  He would sleep for an hour at a time and then scream and scream.  We tried all sorts of stuff and nothing worked.  Monday morning I ended up in our doctor's office.  Luke has coxsickie.  Three days later he is improving.  Still won't eat anything but is drinking plenty so I am less worried then I was.  He did sleep all night (coughing and gagging according to Lee). 

So while this is all going on, Sunday while I was at work Lee called and said he wasn't feeling well.  He spent Monday and Tuesday in bed all day today he is still sick but he couldn't miss any more days.  

Andrew is really snotty but not super sick but seems less energy then normal.  The older kids and I (knock on wood) have been doing pretty good. 

Meanwhile my house is a disaster.  My 40 bags in 40 days for Lent has been stalled.  I am fairly certain that I will be able to catch up on the bag number.  But I was able to run several errands today.  Target, Costco and the bank.  I have several batches of laundry to fold and even more to wash.  Luke was going through three to four outfits a day. 

There has been angels watching out for us.  One of the moms in my moms group brought over dinner last night.  I know several of the moms were praying for us.  Doctor had concerns Luke would get dehydrated he isn't showing any signs of that but I think he is still losing weight. 

I was going to work six days in a row.  However, somebody asked to switch days so I am working four days and off one and then working two.  I worked nearly 40 hours last week which is too much.  But the extra money will be a blessing.  Also we have made some changes to how we are doing our finances. I think it will help us get more in savings and less debt. 

We were going to go out of town for spring break.  But then kids told me last night that they would rather stay home.  Victoria is going to audition for a play and we will go either to the rec center or the Y for a a day.  It will save us some money as well as some stress.  We may take a day trip depending on if Victoria is in the play.

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...
