Waiting Pattern

We're just in a holding pattern here at our house. Waiting for AF to show so we can begin IVF. I'm due sometime the week of the 16th. I give a big leeway for when I'm due since I usually don't last 28 days. Another symptom of endometriosis. I'll go make a notation of that one too in my old post. I'm due on the 20th but I'll probably go a few days earlier.

This is Phoebe's last full week of school. Next Tuesday is their last day and they have a 1/2 day. I'm so looking forward to summer. She's going to spend two weeks with my DH's parents and then she'll have six weeks of summer camp at Opera Delaware. I'll love having her driving with me back and forth to work and camp (which is around the corner from my office). We'll get lots of quality talking time. Maybe not so much in the morning, as she's not a morning person, but definately in the afternoon car rides, she loves to talk.

We went to Wildwood with our nephew this weekend and had a blast! I got a bit of a sunburn on my shoulders, so did Leo and our nephew, but Phoebe was completely unscathed. She just tans. So now I'm jealous of her complexion as well as her abs. Have I ever mentioned my daughter has amazing ab and arm muscles for a seven year old. You can't tell because she's so lanky, but to watch her go across a netting hanging over a pool at the waterpark on Saturday is so funny to watch. The girl is destined for American Gladiator she moves so fast.

Good luck with IVF next cycle.

As a "pick me up", it might interest you to know, that about 5 years ago while I was in University I did a bit of waitressing.And... I served Colin Firth his supper!

I though you might like that story because your profile says you're fond of him.

He is just as dreamy in real life...

sigh.
Best Wishes for this next IVF cycle. Your daughter sounds adorable and I will look for her on American Girl Gladiators!

Was that the Wildwood Water Park in Ohio? If so I love that place too. If not then never mind. ;-)

Good luck with the IVF!

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
