Nope

So far it looks like a big fat no. My temp went up a little this AM, so I did the old POAS. It was negative. Then I noticed I was spotting. So I guess AF is on her way.

I've been working very hard on my Flylady routines. Trying to make sure I'm ready for the day the night before, packing lunches, putting out clothes, and making sure dishes are put away and my sink is shiny. Now I need to work on my AM routine to get out of the house at at decent time and start using the elliptical machine in the morning again. When I have 1/2 hour on the elliptical machine most days, I feel better about myself and my hip doesn't hurt as much. Then I can move on to making sure my weekly home blessing is done consistently every week and I need to try to work a bit on decluttering the garage for 15-min every day. But for now, I'll be happy if I can do my night routine, do my morning routine, and get out of the house earlier every day for work.

Phoebe's been very helpful lately. I've been giving her odd jobs to do other than the usual setting of the table, making her bed and feeding the dog. She's helped me lately by moving clothes from the washer to the dryer and turning it on and doing a little vacuuming.

Sorry. :-(

You are definitely more ambitious than I right now. I have been sticking to my fold clothes out of the dryer and put them away immediately since the first of the year but beyond that I have just been trying to stay afloat it seems.

And what a great little helper. Belle likes to help too but she hates her "job" sometimes which is also feeding the dog.

I'm sorry for the negative.

As for Flylady, I have been trying to do it for... eh, years now. For some reason I can't seem to be getting it done, but some of the things I have found useful. Now if I could only stick to it.

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...
