Today I opened the fridge to have some leftovers from last nights dinner only to find the someone has claimed the food already. I guess I need to bring my “A” game next time if I want leftovers.

Natalie had a quiet Covid Sunday birthday. It is hard to believe that she is getting so big. We had a nice day celebrating her and eating her favorite foods including dill dip!
We had a quiet Halloween. Natalie and Lucy went trick or treating with Cameron and Julia tagging along walking with them. They got a fair amount of candy but definitely a different kind of year, we only had the doorbell ring twice. They seemed to have a good time and I was glad that they thought it seemed somewhat normal.
Apparently I have a house full of apes. I opened the dishwasher today and stood in disbelief. I guess I should be glad that they are putting their dishes in the dishwasher after they use them!
The hits of 2020 just don’t stop. When school was starting the elementary school sent a letter saying that because of COVID and the different models that school will look like: online learning, hybrid, and all day they wanted to let us know that there might be a chance that our kids might be reassigned their teacher mid year. With the announcement that they are hoping to move to a hybrid schedule in the next month more talk of teacher reassignment is happening. I woke up last week from a terrible dream one night where Lucy was reassigned and was so upset. She has a really great teacher and the thought of this upset me throughout the day after my dream. I have tried to put this out of my mind as this is completely out of my hands. Just hoping that this wouldn’t happen for us.
This morning I woke up to an email from the principal saying that Lucy’s teacher is in fact being reassigned and Lucy will be getting a new teacher. Of course no mention of who the new teacher will be or any other info. I had a good cry and then went to tell Lucy. Lucy took it in stride and seems to be ok with it. As the mom, I’m the one that is struggling with all this change.
As I watched conference this morning and listened to President Nelson’s talk he used the word myopic. I was reminded that I am being short sighted with all of these small disappointments that have been happening. I sure hope things turn out well and that I can look back at these set backs and see the good that will come from them. At the moment it is hard to see.
What a rough year! 2020 go away!
Lucy came downstairs today wearing this shirt. Yet another reminder that everything really is ok.
Natalie got braces! Looking at her teeth one might not think she needed them but her poor molars are twisted and turned so bad in her mouth her orthodontist said if she didn’t get these on soon that she was going to need to have teeth pulled and would have adult years of alignment problems. We sure hope that it works and her teeth rotate correctly.
