Started this on Wednesday and I just now finished...

On Wednesday I went to help my mom declutter and pack up one of her rooms.  Way more emotional then I thought it would be.  Of course we picked the room with the most sentimental stuff which is why i think my mother ignored it.  Every year my mother has given us books for Christmas.  In the study were several books where she had written in for Christmas for my father.  But what I didn't know is my father had done  the same for her.  My mom asked that I check all the books to make sure they weren't written in before they were given away.  I also found my dad's 35 year award from work and his retirement certificate. But when I left my moms house we had boxed two boxes to be taken to storage and I had a load to take to DI.  My mom called it a success.

I found a PRN job for a psych hospital in Boise that I am think I will apply for.  I won't accept if the hours are not want will work for us. 

It was a crazy busy weekend.  Jake had soccer practice Friday and then Lee took the older kids to movie night at the school.  Kids ate way too much candy and had a great time even though there were some issues with the movie.

Victoria went to her cousin's birthday party Saturday and got a pedicure and pizza.  Then my mom took her from the party to do some shopping.  She got some new clothes that were super cute and some one on one time with "Maga".  Jake had a soccer game (they lost) coach and Lee said it was the best game yet and the boys played very well and everybody was proud of them.  Tounrament is next week and then straight to indoor soccer which is a new thing for us. 

Saturday night we ran a 5k as a family.  Both Lee and I had a hard time keeping up with the kids.  Lee blamed the double stroller which probably play into it but truth is our kids are in much better shape then us.  Victoria did a program called "Girls on the Run"  it is such a great program so great that I offered to volenteer for the next season helping with paperwork and such.  I am glad that by not working I am able to put more time into community events that I support. 

Today after I left for work the kids went to my mom's with Lee to carve pumpkins.  I only cried a little. I was so upset that I missed out.  Lee reminded me of all the stuff I have done with the kids with out him.  Good point but still annoying.  Kids had a good time and Lee said this was the first year they didn't need help. 

Looking forward to another busy week.  Two soccer games two soccer practices.  Two girls on the run.  On fitness night at the school.  One dance night.  One scout night.  One preschool morning.  One feild trip with Jake.  Three Haloween parties one for each of the kids.  Although those  are during pre/school times.

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...
