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 ...

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...
