Christmas and such

Friday the 18th was such a crazy crazy day.  Lee, Luke and I went to Andrew's preschool Christmas program.  It was Step by Step and so much fun.  Then the little boys and I headed to the school to watch the kids sing.  They walked around to different class rooms and sang Christmas songs.  I am just so so glad that Choir is over.  We had to take the kids three days a week since Thanksgiving.  It was hard but it totally paid off.  Then we had a dentist appointment for the three older kids.  It was Andrew's first appointment and he had so much fun he keeps asking to go back to the dentist.  Then we came back home and since it was Lee's last day of work he had left early.  We were home less then an hour and then headed to  my work Christmas party.  We took the older kids but decided not to take the little boys and I think that plan worked out well. 

The following day we had our final indoor soccer game.  Four months of soccer are over.  Seems like forever.  Lacrosse will start in a few months.  Then we had some friends and Lee's cousin over to celebrate Lee's birthday.  We played some games and ate some yummy food.  We had some laughs. 

Monday was Lee's birthday and he spend most the day working on my mom's dishwasher that still isn't done.  We did manage to find some time to go shopping which was nice. 

Tuesday Lee started his new job.  He loves it so far.  Although it comes with a raise we will have some significant increases.  Parking, more gas, health insurance nearly doubled.  But it is such a great opportunity. 

Christmas was good although bittersweet.  It was the last Christmas in my mom's house.  But all the grandkids and all my sisters were there.  Lots of noise and chaos and I loved it.  My aunt came over as well.  Kids were spoiled and although in the past I have thought about cutting back I have decided that it isn't that big of a deal if one day a year we go over board.  I was spoiled as well as Lee.

The best present of all was Lee made the kids blankets.  He put so much time and effort into them and they turned out so well.  He is now going to make one for our newest nephew.  I am going to get the material this week. Thinking red and not sure with some other print not sure what.  Maybe hearts. 

I have another post I am going to write about 2015.  But life is good.  We have been so blessed.

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...
