So Much To Say, So Little Time

I've had lots I should've wrote about helping DH get all his final papers for school together before his class left for China on Saturday at O Dark Thirty. Phoebe and I have been great getting stuff done. We made some great carrot cake cupcakes for a Homeowner's Association Picnic at the new neighborhood. They were from scratch! Cream cheese icing! Mmmmmmm. But I've had no time to write. Hopefully, I'll get to piece some of the really cute Phoebe stories I've accumulated over the past week.

But here's the exciting news! As expected, we received two offers for our house today. One is better than the other. One is not complete (missing a signed disclosure statement and mortgage pre-approval letter) and that is not the better offer. So my realtor is talking with both of them and hopefully the one we like will pan out and I'll be signing the contract soon to make it official.

Thank you for all your beautiful words and concern. We're tough cookies in this household, so we'll be fine. I always say, "The Lord doesn't give you more than you can handle." Sometimes we don't feel that way, but when we get to the end it's really true.

I'll try to post more over the next few days with updates.

Yeah! I've got my fingers crossed everything works out on the good offer. It would be nice for you to be able to close that chapter of your life.

Carrot cake cupcakes sounds WONDERFUL!

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...
