Springtime! The Time of Anticipation


It seems this Spring is a time of anticipation.  This mother robin is anticipating her four babies that should hatch in the next week or two.  She built her nest right outside our front door in one of the gardenia trees we have on the sides of the front door.  I took this picture when she left for a snack after it rained yesterday.


Our family is anticipating these French breakfast radishes which should be ready in early June and the other yummy goodness of our garden we'll have for the rest of the summer.


Myself, I'm trying to figure out what is next for my career.  I started my MBA when I was working in the business for several years, only to be re-organized into IT last April.  I am getting bored with the administrative heavy job I seem to have stepped into.  And being on call at all crazy hours.  I want a normal job in the business again where I get to build cool stuff.  To that end, I posted for a job within the company in the Mobile Payments team on Monday morning.  I spoke to the hiring manager last week before the job was available as I came recommended by one of the team members.  I haven't heard back about my posting.  Either they are moving slow or they aren't really interested in me.  I'm trying to tell myself that whatever happens, it is meant to be.  I am taking action on opportunities showing the universe what I'm interested in and if this one is not the one, it's because the one meant for me is on it's way.  I'm having some faith.  Keep me in your thoughts and prayers that the right thing comes along soon, as this job is stressful and boring.  I can handle stressful, but only if it's exciting and I believe in it.  That said, the responsible side of me is doing what I have to perform my job well.

Anything to anticipate in your neck of the woods?  Is it Spring or Fall?  Does Fall hold just as much anticipation as Spring?

Praying for you that you get your heart desires but that God's will be done as well. It's fall or autumn as we call it here and for me I love the wonderful colours and cooler weather.

LOVE the photo of you!!! Such joy :)

Why did I think you were always in IT?

So when you say you want to build cool stuff, what does that mean exactly?

I like your attitude, Heather, might adopt that too!

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...
