Things are going very well. Tom and I divided the phone calls about disconnecting utilities and such to the old house. We'll be going to the old house tomorrow to finish moving some things in the garage as well as putting up a standard ceiling fan in the master bedroom (we're taking the one there now) and fixing an access panel in Phoebe's old closet that is for the hallway bathroom plumbing. After that we'll be finished with the old house and our minds can fully be in the new house. I can't wait. I now need to make a list of things to do in the new house and put them into priority. I have to admit, I love going through lists and checking things off.

We'll be leaving work early today as it's the Friday before a holiday weekend. I'm hoping to get a lot of walks with the dog in this afternoon and over the weekend. I went really far the other evening. Like my favorite heroine, Elizabeth in Pride and Predjudice, I am a great walker. There are a few new developments that are still being built around here that are very easy to get to and have wonderful views of the farms in the area. It is really quite beautiful and relaxing. I could use relaxing.

I teased Phoebe this morning. We watched Nanny McPhee last night and this morning, Phoebe got up, got dressed, brushed her teeth, made her bed and was brushing her hair when I came in to check on her. Considering all these things are usually done with much prompting every morning, I teased her and asked if Nanny McPhee had been here. She said, "No, Nanny McMommy!" Too funny.

Today's reading of the latest Bridget Jones in the Independent was good. Sounds like the baby is due any day now, so the story is going to have to go somewhere soon. I've been getting frustrated with the story line she is following right now. I think we all want to find out soon that Bridget's baby is really Mark Darcy's. I mean, it has to be, right?

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...
