New York City Girl - Part 1

As you can see I am a narcissistic infertile and I've been playing with different pictures of me to post on my blog, so people know if they found someone they know when they read my blog. This joy was brought to you by me finally sitting down last night and getting the digital camera to be able to download to the rebuilt laptop. I really wanted this so that I could show you all pictures of Phoebe and us from our NYC trip.

So with no futher ado, stories of Kid in the City. As you all heard I found out Phoebe had a bottom tooth loose at the train station before we left for New York. What I haven't written about yet is how the coach tickets were sold out, and finding two seats together was really hard. Luckily, we were able to score two seats across from each other. The other two people who were sitting there were a married couple probably in their late-30s. They were very nice and chatted a bit with us about cooking, food, and things to do in NYC. Phoebe was polite and cute. I couldn't have asked for anything more. When asked by the husband what her favorite foods were, she answered, "Lobster and crab." Very true and very cute.

Tom picked us up at the train station and helped us take the subway back to the hotel. We then went and found a place to eat. It was hideous. Never go to Mars 2112 and expect to get decent food. The kids will like the aliens that walk around, but you will hate the food. Thankfully, it was the only bad meal we had.

The next day Phoebe and I went to the American Girl store near Rockefeller Center. Then we walked to Central Park. We walked the whole way there and back to the hotel. Phoebe really learned to be a great walker. In Central Park, we went to Victorian Gardens and rode the kiddie rides, found the carousel, and a playground that had water for the kids to play in and a huge sand pit. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures of Phoebe to show from the fun we had before we met Tom back at the hotel when his work was done. So I show you this one of Phoebe back at home wearing the ballerina costume we bought at the American Girl store.

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...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
