We Have Grass! (I Mean Hay!)

The grass seed at the new house with a hay overlay was put down yesterday. They are watering the lawn for me until it grows right. I picked up two 100 ft hoses and sprinklers last night on the way home and left them outside as requested, but they didn't use them. I'm waiting to find out how long they think it will be until I need a service to come and start cutting. They also planted the neighborhood trees on our property too. They look really nice. I still need to call the landscaper today and let him know that we are not avoiding him, just waiting to find out when we'll be able to not need to pay the mortgage on the old house. Still waiting for a new contract to come in. I hope it's a good one and that it is soon.

I cleaned downstairs a bit last night. I'm trying to get my weekly cleaning done during the week, so we don't have to do it on the weekend. I'm managing to keep up with laundry by doing some every day, so that helps. I also washed the dog last night. She really needed it.

AF is due this weekend. I'm curious to see what's going to happen. Early, late, or not at all???? Also, the chiropractor visits are going really well. I love sitting with my neck in traction. It feels so good!!!

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.

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...
