Monday, Monday

Yesterday was such a Monday. Glad that's over. It felt like one of those days where everything is just cr*p. DH took DD to his work in Aberdeen, MD and I let them borrow my beautiful new laptop for her to play games and watch movies. She accidentally spilled water on it. It's dead now. Thankfully I have a warranty, but I need to call the Apple store about how to get it fixed and hopefully I won't lose the pictures I had stored on there and my budget file. I hadn't gotten around to setting up the backup yet. Work was tough too. Working hard trying to meet deadlines and not feeling like I was getting anywhere. Got home and DH and DD didn't get home until 8 PM, because she wanted crabs for dinner and he was trying to find a place that was open. He even admitted last night that he can't say no to her. Them being so late totally through everything I had planned out the window. I love DD immensely, but I told him this morning I want to call him Haphazard Man, because he gets things done, but not when you expect it and at the last minute. I just think the end of summer crazies are getting to me and I just want to get back to a normal routine. Every time I start doing good at working out on a regular schedule, we stay out late and then I can't get up in the morning.

But thankfully, today is another day. Things are still kind of icky, but I had it out with DH this morning and he so understands how I feel. Some of my work yesterday did come to fruition this morning, and while I waited for them to come home last night, I weeded the flowerbeds in the entire front yard! And today and work a co-worker brought me a jasmine plant of my own to take home. I'm so excited. I need to keep it in the pot, put it outside in full sun and bring it into the conservatory for the winter. He also told me to repot it in the spring. These jasmine blossoms are going to smell so nice in the house next year.

Let's all keep our fingers crossed on what it will take to get the laptop fixed and get my data back.

Good luck with the computer thing...I love computers but it is such a pain to get anything done without them now. We totally rely on ours.

..I just wanted to thank you for your friend's story- and I TOTALLY think you can claim credit for at least half of that baby! It was nice to hear that story, since it's so similiar to mine..the trying for a year, the early loss...maybe the end result will be similiar too! I can only hope.
And I hope your data gets retrieved and all is good on the laptop front. We're an Apple family,too! Don't you love em?

Eeek...sorry to hear about the laptop...kids!!!! Hopefully all your data will be recovered; I also store pretty much everything on my laptop and can't go a day without it, unfortunately...my ball & chain :)
That's sweet that he will do anything for his daughter but I know it can be frustrating, too. I am starting to see it already in my little girls and some of their relatives who jump at any little peep they make!

OH NO!!! Not lappy (as my new SIL calls it). Atleast you won't lose what is one it.

Your husband commutes to Aberdeen, MD each day? Woah!! Is that a huge commute for him? AND, the college where he went for the masters is a distance in the other direction. One strong dude to do all that driving (road rage & all that).

Oh that stinks about the computer, I hope they can recover it.

I hope you have a better day tomorrow.

Oh, I hope you were able to fix the computer without losing anything. I am so bad about backing up my files and then my computer craps out on me and I lose it.

I have an iMac and I had to replace the motherboard 3 months after I bought it. Needless to say, I'm not too thrilled with Apple at the moment. I bought a Sony Vaio laptop and I love it. I only wish I could've gotten the pink one :)

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

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.
