Dreams and Other Updates

Had a so-so weekend. Ended up going to New Jersey too much to see DH's family. I think even he had enough on Sunday after all day Saturday. We were able to get the elliptical machine setup in the new house and we bought a shredder so I can clean out old bills and receipts that we don't need anymore. We also cleaned out all of Phoebe's room at the old house, boxed things up and brought them over to the new house. I now need some bookshelves in her closets in her playroom to put all this stuff away!

I've been trying to sleep normal hours for the past week, going to bed at a decent time, and of course that meant a return to dreams. The night before last I dreamt that I was flying. I'm not quite sure what that meant, other than I remember picking Phoebe up and flying her somewhere in the dream. I don't remember any other details.

For those that were looking for the website where you can read the new Bridget Jones Diary posts that are in the Independent, here it is. Considering my reader base is not huge, I don't think we'll flood her website with readers.

Another funny thing of note, is some of the streets I drive past on my way to work from the new house: Loveville Road and Coffee Run are my favorites. I wonder who is allowed to come up with these?

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...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture. I really like her in red or bright colors. She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.
