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 ...

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...
