Not cycle day 1, but Day 1 of "new and improved being good to me." I behaved on my diet all day, eating foods that are good for me. No dairy, no wheat. I will admit I had a few bites of a Power Bar I like as a snack and then realized that it has some dairy products, so I threw it out and I'll leave those to DH to eat. They are good for him when he's on the run traveling for work. I worked out on the elliptical machine at home and did some yoga stretches. A lot of what I'm re-reading in The Infertility Cure is about how my type worries too much and doesn't have enough physical activity as an outlet. So I'm not over-exercising, but 30 minutes on the elliptical machine followed by some relaxing yoga and meditation will help. Then we watched the final season episode of Rome. God, I love that show. Can't wait for the next season! But that had me up late to watch that, so it was about midnight when I went to bed.

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...
