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 :)

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...
