In a moment....

Lee is heading home from his weekend in Washington.  I text him saying the kids were going crazy.  Ok only half were but it seems like it was insanity.  He text back I should call.  He said no matter how bad it is going there at least your child isn't being life flighted to Seattle.  Turns out his friend's son who he was just visiting crashed his bike and they think there may be liver damage but they need him to be at a better hospital then where they are,  So life flight here they come.  It is a four hour drive from their home and I know from experience they ususally only allow one other person on the flight.  I am sure he will be fine they just don't have the specialists they need where they live. So I am done complaining about the kids tonight. 

I don't foresee Luke ever watching horror movies.  We were watching a cartoon and there is a spot where the dad jumps out and scares the kid.  Luke started screaming the same scream he had at the zoo with the sheep and bats and then ran to me.  He refuses to get off my lap and if I attempt to move him just a little he cries.  But he is watching the show.   I think he has set a new record.  Before today I think the longest he had ever set on my lap was 10.6 seconds and we are up to almost ten minutes and he is still here. I sure love my Lukey Lou. 

We had a great weekend.  Kids were out of school Friday and so Friday and Saturday were deep cleaning days.  We scrubbed walls vaccummed chairs and couches.   The idea was I was going to do some touch up painting but I never got to it.  Both nights after the kids were in bed I just crashed.  The only rooms we didn't get to were bathrooms and the kids will do those tomorrow after school. 

My goal for this week is to stick to my decluttering list for the week.  I work Monday and Friday  as well as the weekend so I should be able to play some catch up this week. 

I am really looking forward to this week.  I have some great plans.

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...
