It's Getting Better all the Time

Great morning! Woke up in new house, on floor, but happy. Took shower in new 5'x5' shower in master bathroom and got dressed in the one work outfit I brought over last night. Woke up Phoebe and we got her together and we all ate breakfast in our new kitchen on the new counter stools we bought in Philadelphia this weekend. We ate on the new dishes we bought on sale at the mall yesterday that match the decor of our new kitchen. The old dishes are still at the old house and I think will be going to Goodwill. They are Corelle dishes we bought when we first got married over 11 years ago. Drove to work/Phoebe's school on our new commute. Beautiful country roads the whole way. While we were driving in "Band on the Run" by Paul McCartney and Wings! My favorite song of all time!!! Yeah, I'm a little odd, so Phoebe had to listen to me sing at the top of my lungs, poor kid. I think she likes it too.

Well I need coffee right now. I'm at work, and have lots to get done today. Tom's working from the new house today. I setup our cable modem and router last night, so we have high-speed Internet access at the new house! Pics from the house will be posted soon. Terminix is coming to the new house today to get rid of the pesky rodent that is making us keep any pantry items in tupperware or the microwave.

So things are odd with the new house situation, but I've never been happier. Oh wait, I will be when I don't own two houses!

Oh Heather you crack me up. I did the new dishes thing too when we moved into our new house. That was quickly followed by the new silverware and then the new dining room set. Sometimes you just have to do that. Glad your feeling better about things - this too shall pass. I'm sure the old house will sell soon.

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...
