Feeling Thankful

Yesterday was tough.  I worked four days with one day off and then four days with one off which was yesterday.  The original plan was that I would be off until we return from the beach.  But last minute my boss at BHU asked me to cover two shifts today and tomorrow and then a co-worker at St Al's asked that I cover the last half of her shift tonight.  
Last night after going to the park I ended up with a migraine.  I rarely get them but they are usually trigger with dehydration.  Which I am pretty sure is what happened yesterday.  Being overworked and overtired and having some stresses with school starting I wasn't drinking enough.  And my body crashed and burned.  Throwing up and not being able to keep meds down was awful.  Up until two in the morning unable to sleep because of the pain.  

 Today I got up and went to work.  Lee would have prefered I stayed home but not sure that would have been any better.  Tonight I am up too late waiting for the washer because I got off work at 11 and then went to the grocery store to get something for Victoria for camp tomorrow.  I am feeling better.  But still weak and I know I need a good night sleep.  

 But here is the thing I am feeling overwhelmingly thankful.  Thankful for youth leaders who are up at almost midnight at the store looking for a specific thing for a girl for camp after spending the evening loading the trailer.  I am thankful for friends who see good in my kids and celebrate their successes.  Thankful for kids that are pretty amazing.  Thankful for a husband who picks up the slack and enjoys playing with the kids.  Tonight I am so thankful for those extra shifts.  Those extra shifts mean that we are going we are going to be able to pay off our last credit card in August.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

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...
