Never ending to do list

It seems like no matter how hard I try, I just cannot get the house clean. I work so hard at it daily, still spending time with the boys and there's always more stuff to do. It's quite depressing sometimes.

Kevin and I had wanted to invite family over and have Thanksgiving dinner at our house, but that's not going to happen. No one wants to come to our house. Kevin thinks it might have something to do with our house not ever being clean. I just started crying when he said that. I just keep falling short. Others have their spouses to help out in the cleaning the house up department, I don't. Kevin just can't do the things most people can and it makes it hard. I have so much to do with no help.

I'm lucky to keep up on the laundry and dishes. Maybe one day, I'll be able to master it, but for now, I just can't seem to do it.

A new take on Christmas

I ran across this video on a forum site I visit. What would the world be like if everyone (regardless of religion) gave more of themselves to others and donated what they would have spent on Christmas gifts to others?

Anyone need any hats for winter?

I've been making cute little winter hats to sell in my online store, but I'm not getting any bites there. So, if any of you out there that read this need a hat or know of someone who needs a hat, send them my way. I have some newborn and baby/toddler hats listed in my store, but I can make larger ones like them.

It's been one of those weeks!

So this past week has been crazy. Last Monday, AF came for a visit, then Tuesday was awful with the snow storm. I have fibromyalgia and arthritis so whenever there's a really big change in the barometer my body responds by being in pain. Summer months are great since I get a break from all that, but I despise winter. I had forgotten just how bad the pain could be until Tuesday.

I was also "lucky" enough to wake up that day with a really bad sore throat. I rested all day and still wasn't feeling much better by Thursday. I decided I needed to go to the doctor at that point since practically all the glands in my neck, even ones I didn't know where there before, were swollen and painful. The nurse did the swab test for strep and when the doctor came in, she was carrying a prescription for antibiotics since the test was positive. So, the strep had already spread into my lymph system and it was time to start meds to stop the progress before it got worse.

I was pretty disappointed that was I was still so very sick since I had wanted to go to the temple on Friday for stake temple day and to hear the temple president speak in the temple chapel, but I couldn't go.

I was feeling a bit better on Saturday and since we had already registered and paid for the Cub Scout Pow Wow, we went. I think that was a mistake. I hoping we'd be able to go to the adult session of stake conference that night, but I was worn out from walking around to our classes by the time we got home from that I had to go to bed early.

Sunday, we went to stake conference, but unfortuneately, we weren't able to stay the whole time, I just wasn't feeling well enough to stay. I wanted to stay, but Kevin thought it would be wise to take me home.

Oh, in case you were wondering, the boys spent the weekend at their grandparents' house so that we'd be able to do all the things we couldn't take them to -- which we didn't even get to do some of and probably shouldn't have gone to the pow wow.

I'm doing better today, but still feel pretty wiped out. I really don't want to get sick again anytime soon.

Infertility is so hard

Once again good old Aunt Flo has arrived. I just don't get it. I've been fasting and praying and I know others are praying for us to be able to get pregnant, yet it just never happens. It's been two and a half years of trying with no luck other than a couple chemical pregnancies.

I'm so frustrated and feel so hopeless. Anyone know of a good RE in the Salt Lake/Bountiful area?
