Weekend!!! Ahhh!

I'm about to go jump in the shower. I got all sweaty this morning as we took a long walk with the boys and Leo and Phoebe rode their bikes. For breakfast the boys downed a 1/2 a banana each and some french toast sticks. Liam is enjoying his vanilla pediasure, but I'm sure he'd enjoy chocolate better. When I went to Bjs for our monthly trip there, they didn't seem to carry anything but vanilla or strawberry pediasure. They were out of motrin too, as there's been a big recall of that recently. Not a good time for that to happen when Liam has his molars coming in and we are completely out.

This week was crazy at work and trying to juggle taking the boys for their doctor's visit. I realize now that I'll need to take them for their blood work on Monday, as I forgot this morning. Next week is going to be crazy with Niki working the polls in NJ next Tuesday, so she'll be gone from Monday through Wednesday. I'm trying to get the boys into the day care at my work for Tuesday and Wednesday, but they are wait listed right now. We'll see how that goes. And Phoebe's school year is done on the 18th, but next Friday they have a picnic at the school that the parents are invited. I've gone every other year, now I have to figure out how to juggle it with everything else.

Don't get me wrong, I hope I don't sound depressing. I'm actually quite happy and I know next week will be fun. I'm just trying to figure out how to juggle everything with work and considering the economy, that's a good problem to have. I'm going to work on cleaning out the pics from the boys birthday weekend, so hopefully, I'll get to post some later today. Stay tuned.

It's good that he likes the pediasure. It sounds kind of gross to me. But then, I equate it to protein shakes, which I've long had an aversion to.

It's all about the logistics, right? The Motrin thing is getting annoying!!

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...
