Fighting a Losing Battle

  I had a situation at work where I was fighting against the system.  In the end it appears I lost.  There was nothing more I could do for this patient.  But maybe something will change for another patient.  so maybe I didn't lose after all.  But maybe I should have keep fighting against injustice.  After all that is in my oath. 

Some times the "system" seems bigger then we are and there is no use trying to change it.  Whether it is church or work place or the kids' school.  But sometimes it takes just one person to change it.  Sometimes it is that one person who is able to break down the walls that have been standing for a while, despite the fact that nobody else could. 

The last few days have been overwhelming.  I am ready to file bankruptcy run off to the Bahamas and call it day. But I would probably miss Lee and the  kids after a few hours.  But instead I will move through it.  I will be grateful it wasn't worse and hope next week is better.

Hoping next week I can clean my house and do some decluttering and maybe take the kids to the pool or something else.  Jake at some point is going back up to the cabin to help my mom paint and do some other stuff like move stuff to storage.  We were hoping we could work it out with Lee's dad so that Jake could spend time there with them and we only had to take one trip up there but that doesn't appear it will happen.

I have made a choice that I only have so much time.  So some stuff I am just not doing and if Lee wants them done then he can or the kids can but I just can't put my energy into non productive places at this point.

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...
