The Universe Is Being Very Very Nice Today to Me

I am completely floored with how nice today is turning out considering how icky yesterday was. I was in a full melt-down last night that I haven't known in ages. So what happened is I seem to be getting a forced day off of work! On a beautiful Friday! What happened it seems is that the PC computers at my office are all down! We can't login to our computers, check our schedules or emails. Thankfully, it is a quiet time of the month at work, so I don't mind one bit! I do feel for the people who are working on the issue, which we don't know what it is.

So what happened is I woke up this morning with my pretty toes, fingers and glowing skin, thanks to the well-needed primping I did last night, but I still wasn't feeling 100%. I know there is still a lot of personal stuff I want to get done and considering I had to shower and go to work, and then try to leave early today as DH and I are going away for the weekend to the mountains with friends, kid-free, there was no way any of it was going to get done. I got out of the shower and heard my cell phone ringing downstairs with a text message. I figured it was nothing important and I could get it later, so I finished getting dressed and before I put my makeup on, I decided to take a few things downstairs so I wouldn't have to make a few trips later. While downstairs, I checked my text messages and I had a few phone calls too! They were all from work saying everything our computers were all down and they were working on it, but no ETA. I called one of the managers on my team back and he confirmed. So we called the few people who weren't in the office yet and told them to hold tight at home and see what happens. This was great for one of my other managers as her two kids and husband are all sick with fevers and sore throats. I decided to do the same and I've been putz-ing around the house getting lots of things done. I got laundry started (on the second load in the washer now), the living room picked up of toys, dusted, straightened up the kitchen and soon I'm going to vacuum the living room and clean up my desk. Then I'll pack for the weekend and I think we'll be able to get an early start, if DH isn't stuck working (he's working from home today).

Wow! Just when you think you've hit an all new low, something comes along and perks you up!

First, I love the word "putz" :) I saw potter around the house but from today I'm going to say putz :)

I love picking up phrases from all over the world and using them.

My favourite is still "gasping" for a cup of tea from Ireland :)

Then, last night I dreamt we went to NYC, after you and I decided to meet up there.

Third, so glad you're having a nice day.

I've also had a very nice (quiet day) - I even left work early and then I did two no-sew blankets (I'll post tomorrow) and now I'm about to make party favours!

I love when the universe decides to cut you some slack. Happened to me yesterday - O had pink eye so I had to be home with him in the morning and we got to sit and watch part of a movie together. I really needed it.

So happy you get your day today!

What a nice surprise--kind of like a snow day! Hope you have a great weekend away. It sounds like it's coming at the perfect time.

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

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.
