Life just has a way of working out...

My dad use to say that all the time along with when things did go our way ...You must be living right.  So on July 17th I was schedule to work 8-5 (ish) at one hospital and then 5-10 at the other.  Also I am on call that night from 5-8 am for the hospital I am working the day for.  We rarely get call out.  But there is a chance.  Also Lee decided instead of leaving for the bike trip Saturday the 18th he is going to Kamiah the night of the 17th.  Too much.  I couldn't be in three places at once (work, with the kids and possibly getting called in) so I emailed my one co worker who wanted to pick up some extra shifts and she said no.  Then another coworker agreed if I took a shift for her earlier in the week.  Couldn't have worked out any better.  Not only do I now only have to work the day I also don't lose any pay/  Now I just have to find a babysitter that day and find somebody who is willing to be on call to come watch the kids. 

Every year I become less and less thrilled with these bike trips.  Maybe because every year I have more and more kids.  I am still debating a trip somewhere.  Just not sure,  Luke sleeps so horrible at night but the days we have so much fun. Victoria's dance studio is not doing summer classes and Jake's tennis lessons will be over so we could come some where for a few days,  Oregon Coast???

So when I was at the cabin last week Lee informed me that he would have to take a 10% cut in pay.  Same work.  We were less then thrilled,  Then Thursday he was called into HR and was told his pay would not be cut.  There were a few reasons.  Today they started lay offs.  I really don't know how stable Lee's job is.  We had already decided that if he doesn't find another job by the time the kids go back to school that I will apply for a another part time job with the stability of Lee's job going quickly out the window I want get our debt paid off sooner then later.  It is going down just not as quickly as I would like.  

Life is certainly good

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...
