Work Crazy - But I've Been Working Out - Also Might Get Nose Pierced

Work is driving me nuts! I'm completely swamped and my backlog is crazy! The good news is that I started working out on the elliptical machine at home every morning this week. I felt like shit on Sunday because I hadn't been eating right and exercising. Eating right has been coming more easily though than working out. It's such a shame considering we own a very nice Precor elliptical machine that I wasn't using it as often as I used to. Well, I've been making sure I'm not pressing the snooze button in the morning before work and I've now done that for three days, going to drink a cup of green tea first, getting my body awake and then getting in a half hour on the elliptical machine. I also started doing some ab exercises each day as I know it keeps my lower back happy. I've also been working on meditating a little in the morning, doing some imagery exercises from Julia Indichova's latest book.

Tom has one more paper to write that is due this Friday for school and then he graduates! The next two weekends after this one will be occupied with a graduation dinner with his class and then the official ceremony. I can't wait for this to be over!

BTW, any of my readers have their nose pierced? I've been planning to get this done lately. I don't know if it's just my pre-midlife crisis happening or what. I think it would look really cool. I'm just looking for one of these tiny little diamond studs to be there. I also found out that getting that done, it doesn't really have a back to it like an earring. It's just a hook to put it in place. I have a collegue in the office that has one and I was asking her about it. I almost went to have it done this past Sunday, but I just felt so icky and down on myself. But exercising again and doing the imagery has helped with my attitude and I think my badass self might be getting this in my schedule soon.

I wish I had a googly, bug-eyed smiley to insert here! Your pristine, goody-goody image has been shattered! ;D If you decide to get a Mustang (must be a GT) and do a Thelma & Louise, I'm there! Except for the driving off the cliff part. But must include the Brad Pitt part!

Good for you for working out! You are an inspiration.

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...
