My feet hurt!

So today I had the opportunity to do some service. So I ended up needing to bake some things. Well I ended up baking A LOT of things lol. 3 mini banana bread loafs, 3 dz cookies, 1dz home made rolls, 2 casseroles, and Jello. Then after all of that Hubby dragged me to the gym for turbo class. Sheesh I'm tired.

Mornings?? Ummm I think Not!

IF any of you know me then you know that I am NOT a morning person. Never have been. My boys on the other hand have always been morning boys. All 4 of them love to get up in the morning. Carsyn goes as far to set his alarm every morning at 7am (It use to be set at 6am but I told him no way 7am was the limit) I usually do somewhat ok with that. They get up themselves and they like some of the cartoons on in the morning but they love to play before we start school at 9am. Carsyn has even gotten up and done school at 7am without me just to get it done. Carsyn helps get his brothers cereal and that is usually my cue to get up before they spill milk all over. That is usually just before 8:00. Anyway Why am I telling you all of this? Well for some reason the last few days I have struggled even worse to get up. The boys have slept in a little but not much they're still up by 7:30 but holy cow I could not get up this morning. Then it dawned on me. DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME! it explains it all. Oh my goodness it has never affected ME this much. Everyone always complains about how it affects kids. Mine don't seem bothered by it. And I'm usually not but my goodness It's sooo bad. I wish I could go to bed sooner but Mr. Cooper doesn't always go to bed when planned. Although he is getting much better. Instead of up until after Jay Leno every night I put him in bed at 9 he doesn't usually agree with that bed time but I'm the Mom! lol. So now that I've figured out what the problem is I can focus on correcting it and reset my internal clock. Because frankly I do not feel like Mom of the year when my kids are all up having to get their own breakfast because I'm too lazy to get out of bed.

Sabbath Day Woes... =(

When it comes to My Faith in Jesus Christ and the Testimony I hold dear in my heart I will never leave the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. But right now in our current family situation I struggle so hard to get excited about Sundays. I love going to church. I love hearing the lessons and talks. I love the spirit I feel. However I havn't been able to expiriance any of that in a long time. When Chad has to work on Sundays and I go all by myself the struggle starts on Saturday night (well Sat at 4pm)And now since the meeting time changed to 9am it became instantly harder. I spend my whole 3 hours fighting. Needless to say when we get home from church it cerntainly isn't the peaceful spirit we feel. The last few weeks have been especially hard and I end up in tears from humiliation from the way Cooper has been. I come home in tears wondering why I even bother. There are some people who try to help and somtimes it does but usually not. I try to hide in the Mothers lounge since there isn't many other places to go but I usually get run out of there from Mothers needing to nurse their babies. So I end up walking around carrying the screaming child while paople just stare at me. Yesterday was no different. I tried to go sit in the nursery but since he isn't 18mo yet I just feel like I'm in the way and shouldn't be there. Unfortunaly there is no solution right now. I still have 2 months before He goes to nursery. But I'm not sure I can handle much more before I crack. I think next week I will just deal with my guilt of not going and stay home. Then at least maybe the people around me can enjoy their time at church with out the crying inturruptions from my Child.
