Nope

So far it looks like a big fat no. My temp went up a little this AM, so I did the old POAS. It was negative. Then I noticed I was spotting. So I guess AF is on her way.

I've been working very hard on my Flylady routines. Trying to make sure I'm ready for the day the night before, packing lunches, putting out clothes, and making sure dishes are put away and my sink is shiny. Now I need to work on my AM routine to get out of the house at at decent time and start using the elliptical machine in the morning again. When I have 1/2 hour on the elliptical machine most days, I feel better about myself and my hip doesn't hurt as much. Then I can move on to making sure my weekly home blessing is done consistently every week and I need to try to work a bit on decluttering the garage for 15-min every day. But for now, I'll be happy if I can do my night routine, do my morning routine, and get out of the house earlier every day for work.

Phoebe's been very helpful lately. I've been giving her odd jobs to do other than the usual setting of the table, making her bed and feeding the dog. She's helped me lately by moving clothes from the washer to the dryer and turning it on and doing a little vacuuming.

Sorry. :-(

You are definitely more ambitious than I right now. I have been sticking to my fold clothes out of the dryer and put them away immediately since the first of the year but beyond that I have just been trying to stay afloat it seems.

And what a great little helper. Belle likes to help too but she hates her "job" sometimes which is also feeding the dog.

I'm sorry for the negative.

As for Flylady, I have been trying to do it for... eh, years now. For some reason I can't seem to be getting it done, but some of the things I have found useful. Now if I could only stick to it.

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...
