Thanksgiving Break and Looking Forward

Thanksgiving break came and went. We had a cousin sleepover, watched Christmas Movies, watched Victoria dance at the festival of Trees.  Lee and I had a date night. I got a root canal and turned another year older.  Victoria spend Black Friday and part of Saturday.  We ended up with some good deals on clothes and finally found a dress we could both agree on. There were lots of good times and I worked the last three days. Two of the last days I worked both jobs.  Lee and I decided at this time I should say yes to all the extra shifts that I can.  Which means I just picked up another one for February.  Maybe two.   I really missed the older kids today.  The house was all too quiet. 

I only have one more day of this schedule and then I have the next nine days off.  I leave Friday for the weekend.  So happy to soak up some sun since due to the inversion it will be 15 below tonight. Then hopefully next week we will be able to reach an agreement with the insurance company.  I just want to move on. 

I am currently listening to a podcast on Polygamy which is currently going through Joseph Smith's wives one by one.  It makes me a little sad that we don't hear about them in church very much although I don't hear anything about them at all because I am in primary.  They all have their own stories as does everybody. 

I accepted a new job.  It is an as needed job and it appears that it will work out really well.  However, there is a catch.  My supervisor has to agree to "allow" me to work on the mental health unit which may or may not happen.  Either way not a big deal.  The money would be helpful in getting out of debt.  But I enjoy my days home with the boys.

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...
