Time to Move on

Tuesday Night I cried.  Three different times.  Once when Trump won Iowa. Once when Lee told me turn off the TV because it was clear he was going to win although they hadn't called it yet.  And the last time was when I was in bed and CNN reported that Trump will be the Untied States new president.  I was shocked.  This isn't so much that I disagree with his politics which I do.  But I disagree with who he is as person.  He is a sexist racist pig.  I can't see how people thought this guy who has been married three times and treats women as objects is the guy that we want running our country. 

I can see agreeing with his policies although I think deporting people who have been in the country their whole lives although illegally is horrible and will rip families apart.  I think not allowing refugees into the country is against what God would want. 

Getting rid of ACA 100% will cause lots of issues for working families who have somebody who has medical needs. 

I was hurt.  I really wanted to see the first woman president.  I felt like I was living in "a good old boys club."

But...that didn't happen. So out came the critics.   Conservatives called Liberals cry babies and I was told I was out of touch with reality.  Liberals stopped traffic in major cities.  It was crazy.  People on both sides said things that were hurtful. 

The end result....Nothing good.  We are still divided.  Now would be the time to come together.  To unite against hate.  To advocate for those who are unable to advocate for themselves. 

It is time to move on.  To take the passion people felt against and for Trump and use it for good.  Stopping traffic isn't helping anybody.  Posting things about how people are out of touch isn't helpful.  Take that passion and go to the soup kitchen.  Help a mom with kids.  Be kind to your neighbor. Do something good,  And then do more good.  Make the world better.

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...
