Closer and Closer

It's getting much closer to our closing date for the new house. We stopped by yesterday after Phoebe's ice skating class, as we had people coming to see our old house (please bid soon people!). It looks fantastic. They've pretty much finished and had all the cardboard pulled up from the tile floors and plastic from the carpets. It's amazing!!!

We've got a lot of stuff to get done with putting final documents together for the mortgage, starting to request utilities to be turned on, and of course packing. I have some boxes already as they moved my desk at work finally, so I can sit in the same building as my department. That's going to save me some time at work. I kept the moving boxes at work and I'm going to bring them home to start packing with them. I'll also probably start raiding the copy paper boxes too.

We stopped by the vineyard after we finished at the house. We met up with K&G there. They're doing very well and optimistic for the future tries at parenthood. K started taking her temperatures and she's showing them to me to help her analyze them. The vineyard owner's daughter, came by. She's three years old. Phoebe and her had a lot of fun together. It was so cute to see Phoebe help her down the stairs and then they were playing Ring around the Rosie.

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...
