Summer

Some things are going well some things not so much.  Such is life.  I am working at the behavioral health today.   The last week has been so crazy busy.  I took the kids to the cabin for several days.  Came home Wednesday and then worked Thursday and Friday.  Jake left for overnight scout trip tonight (His first one).  Getting him ready last night and out the door this morning was insane but we got it done and I am sure he will have lots of fun.  Lee is going to go up for the night.  So it will be me and the little boys and Victoria.  Victoria still isn't home.  We left her at the cabin to help my mom clean the cabin.  Sounds like they had a blast.  Jake will be going back up before the 1st to help again.  Just lots of little stuff that take up time.

Looks like we decided to refinance the house.  Which has been a lot of stress for me but in the end it will be the best thing.  But I don't know where to start. We are going to go talk to a loan officer at our credit union next week.

I have been working more then I originally wanted to.  But at this point especially with the refinance I want to keep my income higher then "normal" so that we can get our debt down and have a good income.  The other bad thing about the refinance is the home inspection so I am going to have to do some major cleaning. Too tired to think about that tonight.

Victoria made it home a few hours ago. At some point I need to get over to my mom's house to help her clean.

Once again so many things all little.

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 ...

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...

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...
