Lots Going On

I need to get better than a once a month update on my blog.  We'll see about that as things continue to get more crazy!  I got the call today that I was accepted to the Villanova Executive MBA program.  It's hitting me now with how scary that is.  I will be busier than ever.  Other things are going really great!  DH and I have worked out first thing in the morning on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.  Would have done so this morning, except I couldn't wake up early this morning as DH and I had a date night last night.  It was a Tuscan wine dinner at a local restaurant.  Five courses and five wines.  Whew!  That was a lot of wine to put in my head.  I was so tired and happy when we got home last night. 

I've been busy with other "Action" things of my theme for the year.  I'm getting my varicose veins fixed in mid-June!  Keeping up with work stuff, got my vegetable and herb garden planted this year already, cleaning carpets in the house, ordered a sectional couch of outdoor furniture so DH and I can sit outside and enjoy the evening summer breezes this year.

I've also been enjoying some good guilty pleasures.  I read the whole "Hunger Games" trilogy, first book of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy and the Shades of Grey trilogy.  I've become obsessed with the "Downton Abbey" TV shows, watching the entire first season on Netflix streaming.  I'm now recording the 2nd season on the PBS stations.  I keep searching the station programming to see when the next episode will be on.

Phoebe is good.  She's getting the wind down of the school year, doing planning for the Classroom City project they do at the end of the year.  Her business is going to be making bags, bracelets and such out of decorated duck tape.  She's got Hello Kitty, dragons and other decorated colors of duck tape.  She's also trying to decide if she wants to be Mayor, landlord or banker for their city.

The boys are good.  Tommy has only been to Urgent Care once this week for a cut near his ear.  We think he walked into a table and hit his head.  He's such a bruiser, so it's good that he's a good kid at Urgent Care.  He really seems curious as to what the doctors and nurses are doing, but lets them do what they need to.  They are both getting so smart.  They talk all the time and we've been continuing to work on manners and how to ask for what they need.  Trying to keep the tantrums to a minimum.  They mostly have them when they are too tired or hungry to communicate, LOL!

Oh Heather, you sound so happy!

The kids sound like they're doing great - can't wait to see (hear) more about Phoebe's wares that she'll be selling.

So, NYC - I'll be there 24 - 28 July. How does that look for you?

Glad things are going well!

I love Downton Abbey too. I need to check the listings for PBS and see when I can catch some Season 2 episodes. I haven't watched the Season 1 finale because I knew I would be sad about not being able to watch season 2 right away. Crazy, huh?!
I love this post. I think Marcia says it best when she wrote "you sound so happy!"

It really does bubble over - even though everything is crazy, crazy busy.

Congrats on the MBA program! So exciting...

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...
