Need to Order New Hot Water Heater

Our hot water heater is on the fritz again. It's time to do something about it. It did this a few months ago, we had the ignition cleaned off, and it was fine until this past week. It's a gas hot water heater with an electric ignition. If the ignition gets too dirty it has a safety feature that won't have it try again and you don't get any more hot water until you unplug and then plug back in the heater and it starts up.

Needless to say, I had a cold shower this morning, and fate the way she laughs at me made it a hair washing day too. I only wash my hair every other day, but it really needs it by the third day.

The funny part of this story is that my husband had a feeling that the hot water heater needed to be rebooted and didn't do it until I was going in the shower which did me no good. BTW, it became a joke instead of an argument. Are we wierd or what? Granted I was pissed that he felt the water for some reason when I started it, and informed me that it was going to be cold. I knew he took a shower at 5:30 AM and went back to bed with me until 7 AM as I couldn't get my butt out of bed, so I could tell he knew there might need to go to the basement. He said he wasn't sure when he took his shower as it wasn't cold, but lukewarm. Oh baby, I know you knew!!! I was mad in the shower, told him he had to help get Phoebe up as I was running late, and then we started making jokes, "Wow, that was the fastest shower you ever took! Glad I could keep you from being too late." "Can you have your father make you breakfast. Maybe it'll be hot." "Can you make me a pot of coffee (something I always do)? Cause I'd like to warm up!" "I'm going to turn on my seat warmer in my car. Cause it's hot!"

I think we've lost our minds, when we can't even be mad about taking a cold shower.

On the other note, hopefully my embryos aren't frozen (LOL), as I've been in the two-week-wait for a few days now. BTW, there will be no early testing this time. I'm promising myself this. To be honest with you I'm thinking about giving up temping for awhile.

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea...

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...

The Boys Are Here!!!

I'm trying to post this from the hospital Internet access, but I will be able to do this announcement better justice from home, but it is a very odd, but short birth story. They came so fast and furious there was nothing anyone could do. But the boys are in the NICU and doing well. They were born at 31 weeks 5 days gestation on 5/29/2009. I will post their names and information (no comments on names unless you like them, LOL): Baby A: Thomas Michael III born at 2:09 AM Weight - 3 lbs, 15 1/2 oz Length - 18 inches Baby B: Liam Jonathan born at 2:20 AM Weight - 4 lbs, 1.4 oz Length - 17 1/4 inches long Just a word on their health, Thomas's breathing is doing well and he did not need any help in that area so far. I had two steroid shots from when I was admitted until before they were born, so I think that helped. Liam was intubated and given surfactant when he arrived in the NICU and is now on CPAP, although he can't stand having the tubes in his nose. Both are under t...
