Stressed About Being Stressed

Allie wanted me to blog about something. So here it is.

On Saturday Chris and I were heading to the temple when I started to have the worst pain in my chest. It felt literally like a heart attack. I was fine and knew I wasn't going to die from it so we continued on with our plans because we had great baby sitters and I knew the boys would be disappointed if we came home early. I didn't feel like I could make it through a whole session though, so we did some sealings instead. Despite the pain it was great to be there. On Monday I ended up getting a weird but small rash on one side of my rib cage and on my back. So I started to get worried because my chest was still hurting, not as bad as Saturday though. So I went to the emergency room and found out it is shingles. I guess It is induced by stress. So now on top of being tired and in pain, I'm apparently stressed. Now I'm stressed about being stressed. AHHHHH.

I do have to say some good things come out of pain and sickness. Yesterday. My good friend and neighbor Sherry Rosengren came over about 10:30 and handed me a good magazine and took my kids without being asked. THANKS!

Another Baby?

C: I like the Thompson baby. Hes cute.
S; He is isn't he.
C: We should trade babys.
S: Wouldn't you miss Britton?
C: Uhhhhhhhh.........Lets just borrow the Thompsons baby.
S: Someday we'll have another baby in our family but right now you two boys are keeping me busy.
C: Ok. Do you want a boy a girl or a dog.

So Good She Can Do it in Her Sleep

Stephanie spends a lot of time sewing. She loves it and she's good at it, too--so good she can do it in her sleep. Let me explain. The boys have spilled some food on some of their good shirts recently and Steph had to spend a lot of time scrubbing them to get them clean. She also just got a new bed set for her birthday and is going to cover some pillows to match. Well, she told me that last night, while she slept, she came up with a brilliant way to make bibs for the boys so they won't spill on their nice clothes and also figured out an innovative way to cover all three pillows using only one piece of fabric (actually a curtain panel she got really inexpensively but decided the fabric would look better on a pillow.) Now she can use the other panel to turn into a throw. If she can do all that in her sleep imagine what she can do awake.
