Updates

Well we're in the two week wait again, but we're too busy around here to think about it too much. On Saturday I bought Gwen Stefani tickets when she comes to Philly in May. Funny thing is Tom told me to buy four tickets when we discussed it before he left for school. I didn't understand since there are three of us, but I did it anyway. I found out after he came home from school when he found out I told Phoebe we were going, that he wasn't planning on taking her but maybe two friends of ours. I didn't think we'd have anyfriends that would be interested in Gwen Stefani and considering Phoebe loves Gwen more than I do, I couldn't go without taking her. Tom thought it would be too grown up for her. I guess he doesn't know her concerts are usually full of pre-teen girls. That and like the two Cirque du Soleils and their one concert weren't too adult for her??? Anyway that's over

Then we had the storm of the winter hit us on Tuesday night. Phoebe's school was closed Wednesday and Thursday. She's enjoyed sledding and playing in the snow, but they didn't get to have any Valentine's Day parties yet. She's had so much time making her Valentines, she really wants to give them out.

Work is really busy. I had a SAS training class on Tuesday. So yup. I'm learning SAS. I'm taking the SAS Programming I class now and SAS Programming II at the end of April. Never thought this day would come, but I'm really enjoying it. I forgot how much I love numbers and statistics. Well in engineering talk it's non-deterministic systems.

Then today, the dog decided to get a UTI, so we went to the vet at 6 PM. She's feeling much better now that she got a shot of antibiotic to start her off. I also feel terribly guilty. She's 87 lbs. Eeeeek! She's always been under 80 lbs and the vet says that's for the best to keep her from getting hip problems as she gets older. Since it got cold this winter, I haven't been taking her for long walks anymore.

I also watched most of "The Secret" last night. Really interesting stuff. Definitely reminds of of things I've always had luck with before. Be grateful for what you have and think positive. On the positive thought I really had fun sledding too. I haven't done that since I was 9 years old.

Okay, what IS this Secret?! I've read about it in multiple places and have no idea what it is.

The storm also hit us pretty good but I think it got us after you. Too early for me to think clearly today to figure it out.

Anyway, I too have no idea what the Secret is but sledding does sound fun...

I hope the 2ww flies by for you with great results at the end.

I also bought Gwen tickets for when she comes here in May. I'll be 36 weeks then. I hope I'm able to go!

XOXO,

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...
