FInally...I hope

After looking for nearly a month I think we have found a babysitter for the boys.  There are pros and cons but I hope and pray this will work out at least until the summer.

After spending lots of time praying about this situation I feel good about the choice we made. 

Today was her first day and things went well I think.  She only stays until the older kids get home and then she leaves so I didn't see her before she left. 

Luke said he had a great time. 

So we will see how the rest of the month goes.  I only need her for a few more days this month and a few days next month. 

So after babysitting one day she said she couldn't babysit any more for me but refused to give a reason.  So back I go to searching.  There is one person who babysits in her home but her prices are way more then anybody else around here and so if I have to use her I will but I prefer not to.

I am feeling so defeated over this whole thing.  I am becoming increasingly bitter at our old babysitter who decided not to watch the boys with out warning.  Lee had other issues with her so it is better that the boys aren't going there but I still need somebody.  I picked up extra shifts only after the babysit from Monday said she was willing to babysit for us. 

I have emailed several people and gotten a response from two of them.  I will set up interviews Monday and then go from there.

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...
