No News on the House Front

This is worse than waiting for AF to show! Found out yesterday afternoon that they hadn't made a decision as the boyfriend is waiting to find out which of the two houses she prefers. They were strongly leaning towards our house I've been told. Just got off the phone with my realtor and he said that last he heard from the other realtor last night was she was having the power company pull our heat/electric costs. He hasn't heard from her yet today. Our flight leaves tomorrow at 11:30 AM. Want to guess when I think we'll get an offer?

Phoebe got off without a hitch with her grandparents last night. I miss her already. You get used to the constant happy chatter. It's like my background noise these days. I need my background noise!!! I'm going to try to get a lot done while she's gone, so we can have lots of fun at the new house when she gets back.

Registered her for Kindergarten this morning. Tom could tell I was a little cranky about the whole thing. Mostly I was cranky, not because of giving up coffee, but I get cranky when I want to cry and I'm trying not to in public. How can these people calmly register their kids for school???? I was dying inside. I can't believe she's that old yet.

Oh, and the new love-of-life stove is being delivered next Tuesday!!! I think it's my birthday present, which is two days later. I have to come up with what fantastic 35th-birthday meal I want to make on my new stove!!!

Just wait to you register her for high school! I thought I was going to have to be medicated.

Your new stove sounds wonderful!

The time flies so fast. Just had a birthday dinner with a 10 year old grandson. 3 more years to being a teenager, 5 more years before he can get a beginner's permit to drive a car and 8 years until he goes off to college. Oops, sorry, I didn't want to make it worse. Just a reminder to cherish each minute.

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...

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...
