Summer Camp Day 18 - I'm On Vacation


First off, I'm on vacation at the shore in New Jersey.  We got here on Saturday and it's been great. Last week was a mess trying to get ready for vacation, Tommy having a fever, getting Phoebe new bathing suits and flip flops, as she wore them all out, making lists of things to bring, and finishing all the work I could before I left.  Internet access here is sporadic, and totally crazy busy.  I've been trying to post this for for the past 1/2 day now.  The boys kept losing interest in whatever they were doing the instant I sat down at the computer.  Instead of playing catch up, I'll just do todays and look to catch up later.  

Day 18 – How do you feel about astrology? What’s your sign, baby, and do you think it matches your personality?

Glad I didn't miss this one.  I love astrology.  I am Pisces, my husband is a Leo, Phoebe is a Libra, the boys are Gemini twins.  I'm a Pisces that is very emotional, empathetic and creative.  I tease my husband as we saw something about Leo's once that said, "God-like, worthy to be loved."  Phoebe is very much a Libra in that she doesn't like anyone to disagree.  The boys are yin and yang Gemini twins.  Each of them have very different personalities as I've discussed before.  One is very serious, thoughtful, sweet and smaller in stature.  The other is very outgoing, happy and has a very solid build.  I've also learned from astrology that I cannot live with Sagittarians.  I can be their best friends, but they will never get my personality and how I think, so it's best not to live with them.  My SIL is Pisces and her last two serious boyfriends were Sagittarians and neither worked out.  I told her that needs to be her next criteria for a boyfriend.  Ask that question first and if they don't pass, walk away.  I highly recommend Pisces in relationships with Virgos and Leos.

Heather, this is the one thing you and I disagree on.

I think astrology is a "crock" :)

D and I shouldn't even be good friends, let alone married for 16 years if we'd followed astrology.

But more than that I believe it boxes you in - because I'm a this, I'm like ____ and so I can't change. I don't like excuses for negative traits and I certainly believe we create our future and we have the ability to change unacceptable behaviour.

EG with me, I'm supposed to be self-centred and egotistical and whatnot. that is nonsense. You can change.

About SIL, maybe the guys just didn't share values with her?

Still love you!

I have to agree with Marcia. The Bible also warns against the use of astrology.

Deut18:10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch,
11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.
12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the LORD: and because of these abominations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

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
