100 years of Relief Society in Chandler AZ

http://www.chandlerrscentennial.com/#!


Here is the website that celebrates 100 years of Relief Society in Chandler AZ.  In a few days it will have the performance from that night.  Just so you all know the whole cast only performed a full run though on the stage that night at 5:30pm and the show started at 7pm.  My group only put out skirt together for the first time Friday before the show because we were all so busy.  Gotta love the Church Gym.

It was a beautiful program and I really miss performing on stage.

Just for the Grandma's

Here are a few fun pictures of the kids!!

Thats Gross!

Those are the words that came out of my doctors mouth when he looked in my throat.  Friday I started to feel light headed, Saturday I started to feel a cold coming on with the "My Skin hurts" feeling.  Sunday we decided since Doug and I were both feeling sick we would stay home.  Monday night I had a asthma attack that scared Doug pretty good because I tired to use my inhaler and found it completely empty and no refills. To put the icing on the cake I had completely lost my voice and every time I coughed I felt pain everywhere.
  Fast forward to today I went to see my doctor because I was still feeling yuckie and my chest felt like a weight was sitting on it.  Oh and I need a prescription for an inhaler.
  So the doctor looked at my throat and said "I'm not sure what to think but its gross. One side looks like Strep and other side looks like the viral." Just what I wanted to here.  He didn't want to do a swab because he felt it would cause me more pain than was really necessary so he put me on antibiotic and hopefully I will start to feel better soon.  After all Saturday I am suppose to be singing, dancing and acting on stage.  I am hoping to get well enough to just say my lines without sounding like I have been smoking 5 packs a day.
 Oh a high note the kids are all healthy and Doug is starting to feel better.

Again Yes Lady

Again I have turned into the YES lady.  This time I am kind of excited because I get to experiment with my favorite thing CUPCAKES!!
I am making over 90 cupcakes for my wards Mother Day's Treat.  My plan is to make tons of different flavors. Chocolate with peanut butter frosting filling, Chocolate Mint, Lemon Strawberry or maybe just Strawberry, Gluten Free Chocolate and Raspberry Chocolate cupcake.  They will all have vanilla frosting but thankful someone else will be doing the decorating.  Did I forget to mention I will be baking all day Saturday before Mothers Day. 
I am super excited to bake I just hope the chocolate raspberry turns out.  So far I have attempted twice and so far the house smells like chocolate and raspberries but the cupcakes taste like chocolate.
I LOVE CUPCAKES I do not like decorating them.

YES

For some unknown reason I have become a YES person. Kristen White in my ward called me and ask me to perform with 5 other women for Chandler AZ 100th celebration of Relief Society to be preform at the Chandler Art center May 5th.
 I have no idea why I said yes but I did and now I am singing, dancing and reciting lines.  10 years ago this is all I dreamed of was preforming and I loved!  Now it scares me to death!  The last time I performed on a stage was college and it was for my acting class.  I am very grateful that we are one of 15 groups for this 90 min performance.
 Thankful I am with a group of talented women and one who has an amazing voice.  The song is really fast and surprising really hard but most of it is song by Stephine and I have a little solo within the song.
 No I am not going to record this anyone to see expect for the people attending.
On that note the City of Chandler Mayor and member of the counsel have been invited along with the Govern and other state representatives. 
PRAY for me to do not pass out on stage and that I can belt out my part of the song because that is what the director wants me to do.

Bill Maher I hope you never have kids!!

"No one is denying that being a mother is a tough job; I remember I was a handful," "But you know there is a big difference between being a mother, and that tough job, and getting your ass out the door at 7 a.m. when it's cold, having to deal with the boss, being in a workplace, or even if you're unhappy you can't show it for eight hours."

Thank you Bill Maher! You are so right about being a stay at home mom is so much easier than a 9-5 job. I was thinking the late nights of holding a baby throwing up all over me, and teaching a stubborn 4 year old to potty train was a piece of cake. After all when I am unhappy I get to be grumpy around my house because it doesn't effect anyone but me. WOW!! I have worked and had a 6 month old who never slept and guess what working and not sleeping was way EASIER than staying at home 24 hours a day.
Working and staying at home is like comparing apples to oranges. It doesn't work.
I wish after 8 hours of work I could just shut the door and go home but I can't. After a long emotional day of diaper changing, hurt fingers, undone laundry because someone needs attention, pick kids up and dropping kids off at different activities, making meals that no one wants to eat, clean up after making dinner, taking an hour to get everyone to bed, only than cleaning up the final mess of the day. Than all I want to do is spend a few quite hours with my husband or by myself but in reality I have someone waking up sick, or scared. I than take the next several hours or all night to take care of the little ones before I and hope to get some sleep before midnight. Guess what it starts all over again the very next day.
The thing I also have the best job because instead of money I get hugs, kisses and told I am beautiful every single day by the most amazing kids.

I know he says things to get a raise out of people. Yup he got me!
