One thing after another

This week has been so frustrating one thing after another.  Now it is 7:30 on a Friday night and I wish I was with my mom's group who is currently watching "Breakfast of Tiffany's" But instead I am sitting in a quiet house while Lee is off skiing with the older kids.  Ski Night at the school was tonight and it made more sense for Lee to go because well...he actually skis.  Lee has text me a few times and it didn't go quite as planned.  Two of the parents asked if Lee could "keep an eye" on their kids.  Well Lee said he feels like he is babysitting them.  I told him that wasn't the impression I got from the parents. 

Work went better today and lots of stuff was explained to me and the other social worker said I was doing just fine.  Now that I know what I am doing.

So one of the same parents who asked that we keep an eye on their daughter up at ski night them proceeded to tell me that her husband wanted to have a chat with Jake because Jake called their daughter fat.  Which he admitted to.  But the part of the story that was left out is that this girl is refusing to allow Jake to get off the bus and is calling Jake names as well.  So we gave some consequences but in the end I wish we would have slept on it because I feel the consequence was too much.   And there is no way I am going to allow this guy to have any chat with my 11 year old son.  No way No how!

I (okay mostly Victoria) made Luke a rainbow cake (fat free and sugar free).  The kids loves it I thought it was okay but it fell apart.  So much so I couldn't frost it so the kids just put the frosting on the plate and ate it with the cake.

Another frustration is I can rarely find a sub for primary.  I asked two weeks ago for the counselor to give me some names.  which she didn't.  I finally got a list and either people can't or they are not responding. 

I am looking forward to the weekend although I work Sunday and a half day Monday.  

I am trying not to get overwhelmed with all of the little stuff and that is mostly what this is.  We need to find a financial planner because both Lee and I have have 401k's that need to be rolled over into something else that is acutely making money.



I decided I would give my self 30 minutes to be unproductive and then I would clean.  30 minutes is (more then) over and I need to clean.

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...
