We Have Furniture!

The moving company came on Monday and we got all the furniture moved. It is so nice to have our refrigerator, washer, and dryer. One of the first things I did was a load of laundry. Of course, we needed to replace the plug on the dryer with a different kind, because no matter what kind of plug you have on your dryer, if you move, you'll need a different one. So Monday involved two home improvement store visits. I made one during the moving people's lunch break after the furniture was out of the old house. I went to Lowe's to pick up a hose for the ice maker on the fridge we were moving. Then after they left, I went to Pyle's to pick up a new dryer electric cord for DH to install.

Tom walked into the kitchen two nights ago, and noticing our fridge in place where the hole was in the cabinets and the family room furniture on the side and exclaimed what I've been thinking, "Wow! We live here!"

Phoebe's been having a good time playing with the two nearest neighbor girls. She's starting to get the hang of the rules, that she has to be where she says she is going, and if I tell her to stay in our yard, she better be there. It's so wierd to watch her put on her socks and shoes to go see a friend and realize my little girl is growing up. She also lost her third baby tooth Tuesday night. Another bottom one. Oh, and this morning when I went to wake her up for the first time I got to hear, "Mom, can I have a few more minutes alone?"

For several months after we moved into a new house we frequented Home Depot everyday...at least it seemed that way. I think they would have called to check on us if we didn't come into the store at least 3Xs a week.
Have fun settling in.

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...

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...
