Kind of a Big Let Down

Sorry I haven't been around. We signed on the house on Friday and I'm feeling a little bit depressed about it. It's such a let down that we aren't moving our furniture and stuff in right away in order to try to sell our house sooner rather than later. We stayed overnight on Friday night. Tom's parents came over to the new house that afternoon and stayed until late. Our friends K&G came over for a drink. Considering K's condition, I told her it was BYOO (Bring Your Own O'Douls).

We stayed at the old house Saturday night as it was snowing here on the east coast. We got about 12 inches overnight and shoveled the old house to make sure we're ready for any appointments. The Saturday appointment didn't seem to show up and the Sunday appointment canceled. Disappointed about the Sunday appointment especially as it was our first repeat visit. We haven't had many appointments during the week. They've mostly been on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I'm hoping we have some more visits during this week, as opposed to people waiting for the next weekend.

Sorry if this is so blah. I kind of need to get this out of my sysytem. It's just a big let down that I've been working so hard to get things ready for the new house and trying to keep the old house clean for house showings. I don't feel like I'm enjoying this current state of affairs at all, and I'm starting not to be much fun as a wife and mother. I'm going to try to take this 15 minutes at a time today. I'm sure I'll be feeling better soon.

BTW, K is doing very well. She has an ultrasound the end of this week. She'll be 6 weeks along tomorrow, so hopefully her and her DH will see a cute little heartbeat at the ultrasound and that'll relieve her mind a little. Her mom apparently had a few blighted ovums, and she's been worried that something may go wrong like it did last time.

HI... just wanted to let you know.. that the prvious owner of our house had moved out most of his things.. and when we were looking at the house.. it was much easier to visualize where OUR things would go.. while I am not saying to empty the old house.. you might be able to move in things into the new, so that potential buyers would have a "cleaner slate" in which to visualize their belongings.. it definitely helped us.

Ah Heather that stinks that you haven't moved your stuff yet. We built our house a year and a half ago and I know how excited we were to move in - visiting the house everyday to see the progress etc. I didn't even want to go back to the old house to get our stuff - let alone spend the night. I hope it sells soon for you so you can get on with your life.

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...
