Feeling Overwhelmed

Having a definate Monday here! Work is stressing me out, which is not good because my lower back is killing me! There's just so much to get done and I feel like I'm never going to get at the bottom of it. I'm trying to remind myself to keep plugging away and it'll get done.

Last night I finally was able to juice up the flat of wheatgrass I ordered from Harvest Market. I did make sure I had a shot this morning and I've been freezing it into one ounce ice cube to thaw every morning. Now if I could just eat a healthier breakfast in the morning!!!

On the other hand, I made a good purchase yesterday. It's a cellulite cream from Clarins. On top of the exercising, I'd really like to not notice the cellulite on my butt when we go to Florida in February.

Oh I didn't mention that yet? We're going to Disney for the week of February 11th! DH won an award at work and they are paying for him and I to go to a Disney resort, so our plane tickets and three days of the hotel are paid for! We're taking Phoebe out of school for the week so she can go to Disney for the first time. We're paying for her plane ticket and three nights at the hotel before his awards convention. I will need to use hotel babysitting services for three of the nights when I have to go to these dinners with DH. Has anyone ever used Disney resort hotel babysitting services? I would have to think they should be great. I'm going to call the hotel in the next day or two to talk to them about it.

And to answer Trace's question, it took three IUIs to get pregnant with Phoebe, but remember I was on Follistim injections to have lots and lots of eggs. The first month I overstimulated and was a mess, the second we got pregnant but it was a blighted ovum (aka the baby part never developed) and the third time was the charm.

Hey Girl!

I'm glad to hear you are doing well, a bit overwhelmed but well. Congrats to hubby on winning the trip, that's fantastic!

BTW we LOVE the Harvest Market. We get sandwiches from there everytime we go on a picnic at the beach or watch the sunset. They have great wine too.

Disney sounds like loads of fun!I have been there myself - back in '89 on my first ever overseas trip at the age of 21. It was on a stopover on the way to the UK. How fun to go with Phoebe - a great age to take her as in she'll remember it & gets lots out of it.

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...

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...

Phoebe's Fifth Grade School Picture

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.
