Death of a Cell Phone

My Treo cell phone/PDA/MP3 player is on it's last legs. I have no idea what happened to it, but I'm glad I got the extended warranty/service package with Verizon. It really hasn't fallen much or have any visible damage, but the touch screen won't work. It really is very had to navigate using only buttons and you can't play games at all (biggest problem!). So I went to Verizon and called the data support team and they Fed Ex'ed me a new one. It's waiting at home for me right now. I could've had it yesterday, but no one was home, so I asked DH to work from home this morning to have them drop it off.

Things have been nuts the past few days. Getting lots of stuff together. On Sunday night, I got all the additional documentation the mortgage company wanted while Tom was studying. He however, got the job of dropping off the documents at the mortgage company as it was too big to fax.

Today's spare moments (ha!) have been spent getting 2 different quotes for home and auto insurance for the new address. We may use our current insurance agent to get our insurance, or we may go through my company's discount with MetLife. I got the one quote from MetLife already and the one from our agent should come in today. Can't wait to get that nailed down and sent to the mortgage company. And tell me, who really knows before they move in what fire company supports them and how far away the fire hydrant is from the propery??? Those questions kill me. I, of course, called the builder to find out.

I need to take some boxes home and start packing some stuff that is not necessary. I'd like to pack up/clean out the china cabinet as we're not taking the china cabinet and I can get it out of the house now. I also want to clean out the filing cabinet in the study, as I'm sure we don't need the statements from our electric bill from the past 3 years!!!

Gotta go and pick up the munchkin from school!!! I have cleaned out some of the blogs I read, but I need to add a few more to my list, as well as start posting more comments on the blogs I read. As part of the delurking week last week, which I didn't have time to participate in, if you read me, please say hi! I'm curious to see who is besides the very few that I notice as my "regular readers."

You have my sympathy on the clearing out and packing up. Uggg....no fun. But it is fun when you put your things in the new house. So stay focused on the results.

i'm visiting your blog on a regular basis. We're going through some of the same stuff (endometriosis, secondary infertility, acupuncture etc.), but you seem much more positive than i am. And that's really good.

have fun with your new home!

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...
