Well, it’s over halfway through July and I cannot even
handle it.
So I texted my brother the evening of Sunday the 3rd and asked when would be a good time to head up to Rexburg on Monday. My sister Lindsay and her family had been there for the weekend and my sister Tiffani was camping in Montana over the weekend and was going to my brothers sometime Monday. My sister Ashlee was flying into Idaho Falls at 6 in the evening and my parents were flying into Salt Lake and driving up, probably not getting there until 10 or later. My brother texted back a little while later that some of the family members were throwing up and he didn’t know what time for us to come up on Monday. So we were in limbo.
Teddy had been wanting to go fishing with a friend on Monday and I at first told him now, but then changed my mind and told him he could go, because we were on the fence about when to go. So Monday morning, Teddy had his speed class and then went fishing. I tried to get my house clean but it wasn’t coming along how I wanted it. My sister called me after getting back from camping and told me she probably wasn’t going to go up to Rexburg because she didn’t want any of her family to get sick.
So I had a decision to make and I didn’t know what to do. I hadn’t planned dinner because I thought we would be up in Rexburg, so I wanted to go up there but I too did not want to get anyone in my family sick. So I ended up playing pickleball in the afternoon and then after we got home, we decided to stay the night in Rigby and then head up to Rexburg on Tuesday for the parade and festivities.
Tuesday Morning, we got up and headed to Rexburg. We met at my brother’s house; my sisters had gotten matching shirts for us and we changed and then headed into town. The parade was long but we made it. We went back and just chilled; we had a nice meal and just spent the day together.
Wednesday we went to Heise Hot Springs and it was great; I had never been to the summer pool. I got the slide ticket and it was fun. I took my 5 year old niece on it a few times and spent time with her in the pool and we also went to the hot pool too. I took the older boys home early from the pool and we just relaxed at home.
So Macy and Teddy had baseball and softball tournaments on Thursday. I really didn’t want to take Macy but she wanted to play. Wednesday my sisters mom and I stayed up until 2am talking; and it was all about me. Sometimes I wish I wouldn’t have said anything but I did. I had to get up at 6:25 am to take Macy home and get her ready for her game. I left Teddy and Sally up at my brothers house. So at the parade on Tuesday, Sally had a hard time. She tried to hang on my and cried a lot. I know my family members were looking at her and thinking it was going to be hard week. Well we got back to my brothers house Tuesday and she played really well with her cousins and the only time she had a hard time was when she saw me. I really am her trigger.
So after Macy’s first game on Thursday, we went back to my brothers house. They had won, so we had a couple of hours before we had to go back. They had rented a huge water slide and Macy really wanted to try it out. They told me that Sally had been great; she started to regress when I was there but did okay.
Friday morning, we got up at 9:00 and got all packed up and left at 9:30; it was just Macy and I. Sally stayed behind again and my sister Ashlee brought her to the game. She also brought 4 three other cousins. It was okay, they got a little board, but lucky we had a playground and some devices. Macy’s team lost again, so they were done. I was ready for them to be done. So after the game, Ashlee took us all out to eat. We got a smoothing at Jamba Juice and then went next door to Mrs. Powell’s and got some sandwiches and chips. It was so nice of her, and I was so grateful. My 5 year old niece wanted to ride with us so I brought her and Sally to Rexburg and then we went back home.
