Round Two Plus More

Wow what a busy day! I woke up and got dressed, and started cleaning again. I did the following:
  • Vacuumed stairs
  • Cleaned powder room
  • Cleaned up around dog crate
  • Mopped kitchen floor
  • Dusted downstairs
  • Vacuumed downstairs
  • Sh-Mopped wood floors
  • Cleaned up the back yard dog piles
  • Dropped recycling off (we have voluntary recycling in DE)

In between I stopped to pick up my in-laws taxes (they use our accountant in DE) and took Phoebe to her ice-skating class. After I cleaned up the back yard, I took Phoebe for a spin around the block on her bicycle. She helped me with the recycling and putting it all in the right bins, and then we went to get Chinese take-out for dinner since Tom wasn't going to be home for dinner. I called over to his parents house and talked to him twice. I think he's getting frustrated that it's taking so long. The funny thing is he said that while his once niece and nephew are helping him, he prefers to have me help. The funny part is that whenever we're working on a project, he gets short with me and can be quite rude. I get quite mad at him about that sometimes. So I teased him and told him next time we work on something, he should be very kind to the help he likes.

The things Phoebe knows are funny. We walk into the Chinese food place and there are two statues of Buddha, a seated one and a fat jolly one. I asked her who was the statues of and she proudly said, "Buddha!" I found out a few months ago, she knew those kinds of statues were Buddha. So does she really need to do First Holy Communion in a few years? I guess we'll have to keep the grandparents from freaking out.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...

Bad Dreams Go Away Magic Spell

Wow! Two posts in one day!!! I just had to blog about this. Indigo Girl had posted about her daughter having bad dreams and looking for advice. I had to post what we do in our house to keep away bad dreams. I have to admit it was one of my most brilliant mommy moments as I pulled this one out of my a$$ when I came up with it. When Phoebe was about 3 or 4 years old, she started complaining about nightmares. I knew it was half true and half stalling for bedtime. She has always been very into witches, wizards and spells (heck she was named after the character on Charmed and my due date was Halloween), so I came up with a magic spell on the spot to keep away bad dreams. I figured all it had to do was rhyme. I will share it with you all and feel free to try it if you need it: Bad dreams, bad dreams go away In Phoebe's dreams she must play She should dream of ice cream and cake Until the morning when she wakes She loves it! She still asks for it sometimes if she's had a ni...
