Day 2 Update

I really hope the commenter on my last post is wrong and that there will still be a next season of Rome. I know they left the last season like it wouldn't continue, but I felt that it would. DH and i debated it for months before an announcement went out that there would be another season. I mean I want to know what's going to happen with Caesarion. I mean we all know Pullo's really his father and not Julius Caesar. What's going to happen to Vorenus's children? I can see all over the HBO website that it is over, but didn't they say that after the first season of Nip/Tuck?

Had a bit of a deviation from the diet yesterday. By the time I got home from work, picking up Phoebe and running to the grocery store, it was getting late for dinner and we were all hungry. We had some leftover tomato sauce, so we had spagetti, tomato sauce and roasted brocolli and garlic. Which really isn't bad, as the only thing against the diet was the spagetti, so I didn't eat too much of it.

I had to go to the grocery store, as I needed tomatoes for this mung bean sprout salad I promised DH I'd make. I have the beans sprouting as we speak. Should be able to make with dinner tomorrow.

I went to the chiropractor yesterday afternoon and my lower back has still been sore. It must be muscular, as when I was adjusted we didn't find anything. I know moving on the elliptical machine and the stretching I did last night did help, but I'm still doing some stretches at my desk today.

Last night I made my favorite breakfast oatmeal recipe and put the dry mix in the freezer, made some brown rice to either have with dinner or maybe make some rice pudding (from the same web recipe page) tonight for any sweet tooth cravings, and I cut up a cantelope I bought at the grocery store. Phoebe must have left her lunch box at afternoon Y-Care, so I packed her lunch last night in a grocery bag.

This morning I had my oatmeal for breakfast and a plum at my desk later, but I was still getting hungry around 10 AM. I so wanted to go to the coffee shop for a bagel and cream cheese, but I knew I'd feel horrible afterward. So I got a cup of herbal tea and ate some raw pumpkin seeds.

I wish I were wrong about Rome too, but I read it in People magazine that it was the second and final season. Somebody discusses the reason here:

Hey, at least they warned us it would be a series finale! Not like "Carnivale" where the season ended and HBO canceled it, just like that.

I hated when they did that with Carnivale. It was so annoying.

They left so many open storylines and it's one of main reasons that I didn't watch Rome...I was afraid it would happen again. And look....

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...

Here's Phoebe's 5th Grade School Picture.  I really like her in red or bright colors.  She's definitely becoming quite the little lady.

Stopping the Voices in my Head - aka Mastering my Mindset

The more I work on my personal development, the more I realize I need to stop listening to and changing the negative things I tell myself in my head.  I'm also noticing the older I get the more the negative things I hold as beliefs about myself are not true.  This reinforces that I should second guess the other negative beliefs I hold inside ... maybe those are not true either.  Here are a few things I've realized are not true: I need help to put air in my car tires - This was one of the first things I learned as my husband had to move to Colorado for work. I did this at the Wawa up the street where the machine will stop and beep when your tires are at the right pressure.  I also learned and committed to memory that the pressure you want your tires at is inside your gas cap, something I have to open at least once a week.  This was something that was super easy to learn to do and had me zipping along the roads in a few minutes without the anxiety...
