More Exercise and Seeing Blog Buddy!

Yesterday was another good day of accomplishment. I got my car repaired, inspected and registration renewed. All while I was at work. I love my car dealer!!! I also did another 30 minutes on the elliptical machine and the Gentle Hatha Flow #2 from yogadownload.com. I have to say I really liked that one.

Today, I have more to get caught up on tackling both my work and personal To-Do Lists. Phoebe has ice skating tonight and Niki has curling, so I'll be taking the babes with me to ice skating. I know we'll get back pretty late for me to fully work out, so I think if I at least do a yoga practice when we get back, I'll be happy.

I also need to get my bills done today as we had a great surprise on Sunday when I was about to start. My fellow blogger, Merlot, that doesn't live that far from us happened to be at the vineyard around the corner from us and did we want to stop by? The boys were down for a nap and Niki didn't mind keeping an eye on them and Phoebe, so I jumped at the chance! We had a great time. They really are such lovely people and I got to meet LG for the first time!!!! She is even cuter in person than the pictures on the blog. Thank you, Merlot for calling! We should do that again soon. Or I could make my husband cook for you guys.

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...

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...
