So last night I was watching Dr. Oz before I went to bed and he talked about canker sores and that they're caused from stress. Well I get canker sores pretty often. So I was talking to Chad about this because I never thought of them being caused from stress. Well Chad agreed that I stress WAY too much over things. Right now I think my main struggle is sitting down to take a breath. (Chad pointed this out) I'm so concerned about keeping up with house work and home work that I forget to stop for a minute. I guess I feel that if I sit down for a moment in the day I'm being unproductive and lazy. I never sit on the couch and I only sit in my Chair when I'm feeding the baby. I try to stay busy all day. I think I clean Cole's room like 8000 times a day so I don't have to start a big project and his room is the easiest to clean. The positive side to this is that I've been really good for the last few months on keeping the house clean. The bad part is that I run run run and when I crash, I crash HARD. Like even today. The boys are having quiet time and when I was pregnant or when I don't feel well (like yesterday) I will lay down but today I feel fine so I did the dishes, took a shower, sorted laundry and now I'm blogging (yes I have blogging on my "to do list") instead of sitting down and reading or resting. In our last Conference session it was pointed out that "my worth is not measured by my to do list" I guess I need to listen to that and just take a break once in a while. Maybe I will post our dailey rutine on here so you all can laugh at me lol...I stress if we don't "keep to the schedule"

Thankful Thoughts
So I've been pondering for the last few weeks about what I'm thankful for. How could I pick just 1 thing? Chad and I are so blessed. We're thankful that my Mom is still with us. We were told she wouldn't be here this time of year. I'm so thankful that she is. I'm so thankful for my Boys. all 5 of them. I'm thankful that Cooper arrived safely and even my scary labor stories are what most women envy. I'm Thankful for Chad and his sacrifices for our Family. I'm thankful for genuine friends that know when you need them even when you don't ask. I'm thankful I have a home. And that I've been a lot better at keeping it in order. I'm thankful for quiet time because even though I said I'm thankful for my Boys I will admit they drive me nuts most day. I'm thankful for the Gospel in my life and the Testimony I have. I'm thankful for my Savior and the Love he has for me.

Nursery Blues
So the other day I was sitting at the counter and I found myself crying. I have been so overwhelmed about Making Coopers nursery set and I didn't know where to begin. I wasn't motivated to even start. Here my little baby is already 2 weeks old and I still don't have a bedding set for him. I've tried shopping for one but I just really hate all of the ones in the store. That is why we had decided to make one. So there I was just crying over it at the computer. So I start to shop for one online (again) I went to Ebay and did some searching there. And then there it was. Finally I found a bed set that wasn't $200. and that Chad and I both liked. So we watched the auction that included 13 pieces of a nursery (all but a lamp and mobile). Total with shipping was only $75 I didn't think that was bad considering what all it came with. It's so cute. It's a little aviator set with brown earth tone colors. I will post a picture when it gets here. I was just so relieved to finally have a set for him, and I feel a lot less stressed since I don't have to make one.
Click HERE and it will take to one still listed on ebay.
