Week in review

This was a long week, but nobody's in the hospital and the car is still running, so we won't complain (right, Brian?). Besides, tickets for Billy Joel and Elton John go on sale tomorrow-rejoice!

Brian took on the roll of Mr Mom for a few days this week so I could get school stuff done. He's feeling quite domestically proud of himself. I came home a few nights to the dishwasher and dryer running, plus kids fed (frozen pizza). We'll just call him Murray Poppins.
Hannah drooled a perfect H on her white shirt. It's on the same level of coolness as a lightning bolt scar. What was her mom thinking, feeding her chocolate?
I took this picture while driving and someone was honking behind me. I just couldn't pass up getting a shot of the winter not-so-wonderland we are living in right now. We've been dumped on...just another reminder of why Logan has never been a favorite place for me. I've seen some people pull out Christmas stuff as a joke, but general consensus is: Enough already.

Way to go, Murray Poppins! We love our awesome husbands and fathers. Totally agree about the weather. You guys have had way too much of the white stuff and cold temps. The drooling H is a giggler.

Awesome Brian! I love when I come home to those sweet sounds and smells. I have the same sentiments about the snow. AAHHH! We need to get together again. My boys love it and I love talking to you. I can't wait until we can go to the park, will it ever come already?

I would like to request a new post please. My very unflattering picture has been up top on the blog for about a week and a half now. It was funny for a few days, but can we please move on?

Thanks

NYE

New Year’s Eve 2009: Mapleton, UT I left Brian  in Logan and took the girls down to visit my parents for the new year. I felt bad and I felt relieved. I needed a break from him. We didn’t have money for food. He spiraled and never climbed out.  New Years Eve 2014: Mapleton, UT I went to Utah with my girls and left Jacob in Miami. He could have come but made up an excuse about studying and visiting his dad instead. Always talked about visiting his dad—alone— when I talked about a family visit. New Year’s Eve consisted of me, my parents and Stephen and laurel. There might have been some others that left earlier. I took no pictures. The new year rang in and felt so alone and empty. Did Jacob even care?  New Years Eve 2015: Vancouver, WA Pregnant with Lucy, unable to work, Jacob had just failed the most important test that would allow him into residency, I decided to wait out the remainder of the pregnancy at my parent’s new house. This move was one of the most humiliating ex...

Parent Teacher Conference

Dear Mom, You left 4 months ago. You clearly didn't mean to leave when you did, with your shoes sitting by the door and your unfinished paper boxes of chocolates for Relief Society. No one else wants to hear how the girls are doing. No one else has lived with us for so long and understands them and the dynamics of my family like you do. I've retreated into my own silence and my own world, desperately trying to survive each day--sometimes each hour--knowing that although so many friends and family care (and I couldn't survive without their support), there is really no one left that has experienced firsthand the horror story I'm starring in. We had parent teacher conferences last night at Leah and Hannah's school. We had to bring Lucy, who wet her pants twice and cried to go home. Here's a summary of teacher comments: HANNAH: *a natural leader *most well-liked student *grades range from 85 (one class) to 93-99 (every other class) *no missing assignment...

3 Years

The social media version: “A new burger place in Park Slope— pretty good but girls still love Black Tap better. I love the exposed brick and VW van counter.” The reality: We were supposed to go to burgers last night to remember Dad on the 3rd anniversary of his death. I was very sick this weekend. Leah had a fever of 105— I’m gonna day that again— 105 and Lucy was being picked up by her clown father. No one was ok. We somehow made it out of the house today but we could hardly talk about Dad/Grandpa. Hannah regrets that she doesn’t remember much. Leah is deeply grieving a very special connection they had. She cries silently. I am physically wasted with a chest cold, anxious about how Lucy is doing at her dad’s house and too broken to help anyone. Our world went dark three years ago and the light hasn’t come back on.  The social media version: I can’t even write it because it’s not in my nature to sound so fake.  The reality:  Her clown father took her to a party for the g...
