Camping and such

Went camping with the kids for one night.  It was great.  Luke woke up 5 times but quickly went back to sleep.  We set up a pack and play in the tent and it worked out well.The three older kids slept in their own tent and Andrew thought it was cool he got to be one of the "big kids". Jake cooked all the meals and did the grocery shopping for one of his badges.

   I really think that I could handle camping during the week with the kids without Lee.  Of course it is much easier with him. 

We are planning on going camping for two nights in two weeks.  We learned some and there is some stuff I forgot that we will take next time.  We decided we needed to find a place with more hiking so the older kids can run around more. 

Today I got home in time to do one and half batches of wash before running out the door for work.  Tomorrow will be packing and cleaning and we leave again Monday.  My mom is taking Victoria tomorrow which is good and bad.  Good because we won't be so crammed into the car and bad because she is such a help. 

I just booked a hotel for Monday night.  WAY MORE then I wanted to spend.  But it is the same one my mom is staying at and so it seemed like the best way.  And she offered to pay for some of it.  Right after I wrote that my mom called and said she had some cash stollen from her purse.  So looks like we are paying for our whole hotel.  She didn't say that but I can't let her pay for the hotel at this point.

A friend of mine was going through a really tough time in her marriage and in life in general.  I gave her some good advice and then it hit me.  I need to take my own advice.  Not sure if the advice will help.  Her problems are way bigger then what a few texts could offer her.

Anyway,  my shift is ending.  Time to type some final notes and call it a night.

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...
