SNOWPOCALYPSE

I don't mind the snow but I mind feeling trapped and I mind no sun. 

The kids had six snow days in eight days.  At least three of those were because the roads were so bad even though there hadn't been snow in a few days.  Plows broke down and there wasn't enough to get to the neighborhoods.  Snow on the ground since December 5th.  Record for Boise. And still counting.

On January 3rd I flew to Phoenix. First day back to school for the kids. Jake stayed home sick.  The following day reports from my friends of the all the snow in Nampa was insane. Worse weather in 30 years.  Or was it since 1995.  Or one report said 1896.  What ever it doesn't matter.  I was sitting in the sun.  Surgery went well. Stayed for three days. Every day was a hospital or doctor visit.  Became an expert driver on Phoenix freeways.  Didn't crash the brand new car.  My friend didn't end up in the hospital although she got pretty close.  Emotionally draining trip.  Landed in Boise in the middle of a snow storm on January 7th.  Church cancelled on the 8th.  School canceled for three more days.  Kept feeling trapped and unappreciated.  Tuesday the 10th we went to Jump Time which I regretted.  Got stuck going and coming.  Kids had fun there though and were finally able to get some real energy out.  Wednesday Lee cancelled scouts.  Plows came through right when he got home.  I happy cried.  We can finally leave with out fear of getting stuck.  Lee and Jake and SIL shoveled some drive ways.  Jake got $20.    Kids back to school Thursday and Friday. 

We played some board games.  Watched TV.  Glad it is over although I wanted more time with my kids.  Three long days.  Played in the snow.  They are predicting and even worse storm to come through.  If we could just have some sun that would be great.

Looking forward to our mini vacation next weekend.  Maybe we will make it a tradition to ski on Jake's birthday every year.

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...
