Getting Lots Done Post Birthday

Wow!  It's been a long time since I last posted!  It needs to not be so long between posts.  But work and home have been crazy but good.  We're getting lots of stuff done in both places.  Of course, it's not as much as I'd like it to be.  I work very hard at trying to stay organized using Marcia's organization forms, but I need to commit to having time to finish getting all my thoughts in one place.  Maybe I'll do that today (I wrote this earlier today, and it didn't happen.  I'll work on that tomorrow).

Right now, I'm organizing photos that are on two different laptops.  First I took everything I backed up from the older laptop and putting it on the newer laptop.  When I backup pictures it's on a 1 TB network drive we have, which is so nice to know we have to make sure we have extra copies of all our pictures and important electronic documents.  Then I'm copying all the other pictures on the newer laptop to the network backup drive to make sure we have copies of them.

We also cleaned out the garage and bought and setup a new printer, because the one we had for the last six years finally bought the farm.  And Tom needs the scanner part for submitting his travel expenses to work.  That's pretty important.


BTW, it was my birthday on Friday!  I turned 41, or as I say it "celebrated the 2nd anniversary of being 39).  It was a very good birthday, especially surrounded by getting lots of work done around the house.  Tom made me dinner and bought me a carrot cake for my birthday cake, which is my favorite.

Darling Heather, I wish you a very Happy belated Birthday.

I will give you a big hug when I see you in person in NYC. Okay, it seems unreal to even say that...

I also LOVE carrot cake. I'm the only one who enjoys it so I buy carrot cupcakes :)

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.
