Mobi’s long history in monitoring products leads us to a system that is user-friendly, expandable, and technologically-advanced enough to cover all security needs for the entire house. It has an advanced multi-function touch screen technology that easily prompts users through a multitude of options. Also, it has a range of up to 800 feet, a talk-back function, night vision, an out-of-range warning, and a zoom-in ability – all shown on an ultra-clear 3.5” screen. Not only is it going to provide peace of mind, but it also is so much fun to use!

Here’s a video where I take a look at the MobiCam Mobi DXR Touch Monitoring System:

Here are photos of the box, of Mark setting it up, and of the individual components charging:

Here is a video of Mark going over some of its features while we have it focused on Pacey:

Here are two photos that we captured of Eva walking past it:

Then we watch and talk to Basia while she is in one of her favorite spots:

In these two videos, we watch Spenser play on the second floor while we are on the third floor, and the second video shows the crisp night vision feature:

And here are two photos from our time spent watching him:

The verdict? This product is fabulous! I know that traditionally it was designed for parents to watch over their nurseries, but we found it great fun to use too! I’m constantly asking Mark what he thinks the cats and dog are doing when we can’t see them or when they are on different floors from us, and this MobiCam Mobi DXR Touch Monitoring System easily answers that question! I really, really wish we had the extra cameras so that we could point them at more spots in the house, and maybe someday we will purchase the additional ones. Since the system supports up to four cameras, I think it’d be very cool to be able to flip through the system’s screens all day long. I love the night vision feature because it displays sharp images. Also, I love that you can talk to your baby or pets via the talk-back function. And you can play lullabies/sounds for them, and this system has awesome bird and cricket sounds which are just perfect for cats! Lastly, there is an option where you can record what is going on when you aren’t home to watch later. This is great if you want to spy on your nanny or see what else your pets did all day besides sleeping. Whether you have a human baby or a furry baby, this product definitely will bring you peace of mind. The best part of it for me is that if I am having an incredibly awful back pain day that all I need to do is flip a switch and I can check on what my furbabies are doing – no stairs are required! So if you purchase this Monitoring System, please let me know what you think!

And over the weekend my baby crazies hit me again! I found this to be totally unfair because I was in way too much pain when they hit to even be able to handle any form of babysitting. Speaking of my back pain, I’ve been on methadone now for six days. I’ve had three okay days and three horrid ones. Now that could totally be a great sign of things to come. Maybe all I need is a dose increase or two and then I’ll be all set! Or, this could be like some other things I’ve tried in which I’ve had a few good days while a new drug was being introduced into my system and then BAM! But according to that new metabolism test, my body isn’t supposed to crash like that with this drug. I want to think positively about this. But I’ve been down this road before where I’ve gotten so excited and started thinking about my future and all the things I could do now if things stayed a certain way – only to be heartbroken in the end. So yeah. It’s still too early, and I could just be having a stretch of more good days than I’m used to. I just don’t know. But could you imagine?!

Though my mom and I aren’t on speaking terms except for an occasional email, I called her a few days before Mother’s Day (I thought that we weren’t going to be around until our plans changed). We ended up discussing that Mark and I are looking into finding my furbabies alternate housing for when we die. I told her about our research and current thoughts, and she said that she thought she was getting the pets. First off, she’s worse off than I am physically, and she just wouldn’t be able to handle it. Though she’s the only person on this planet that I trust to take care of them the exact same way that I do, there’s also the concern I have that my dad doesn’t close doors tightly behind him when he goes in and out. I’d be too afraid the cats would want to explore and attempt to dart outside. Besides, we are about setting something up that will be effective if we were to die now or if we were to die when we were seventy years-old, and they obviously won’t be around for that anyway.

I came across this quote (on Twitter maybe?) that said, “Time to put a little gratitude in the attitude!” I really like that. It’s a good reminder for when I let my negative thoughts overwhelm me.
