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.

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...
