Slow down time...

What a busy week coming up. 

We have something every single night.  I work tomorrow until 11:00. 
Tuesday is the Christmas band concert
Wednesday is scouts and Lee is probably working late
Thursday is an orchestra concert
Friday I work and a Christmas party at a friends home without the kids
Saturday is a basket ball clinic for Jake and Victoria's 5k and my work party (kids invited)

Christmas is finally coming together and I think we are almost done shopping for the kids.  We bought for Lee's family and I still need to shop for my family. 

Plus I still need to complete Christmas cards.  I ran out of stamps so only a few went out.  Not sure I am going to do them next year.  So much work and I don't love doing them the way I use to.  But I do like updating people on our lives. 

There are moments where I am becoming really stressed and there are moments where I am loving life.

Last night we went to "A night in Bethlehem" at our friend's Christian Church.  They played Mary and Joseph and it was pretty great.  You walk through the "town" and then saw the inn and the shepherd, and the angels and the wise man and then the baby where we left gifts that we had "purchased" in town.  It was quite the production. We went last year and they had made some changes which I think helped set the tone better but it meant more waiting in line.

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...
