The Power of Positive Thinking

Believe it or not things are going very very well. Busy as hell, which is why I haven't been around the blog world lately. I've been working hard on keeping positive thoughts and trying to make things better at home and work. I started listening to some old podcasts about The Law of Attraction. I got the podcasts from iTunes and not her website, but this is the lady. Let me tell you, she's pretty great! Since I've started using some of her tools, really good things have been happening at work and at home. Drama that used to be at work has almost all gone away. I keep telling myself, "I love that there is no drama at work!" and it seems to be working. I'm sure there's more to it. I'm sure my attitude has been more to diffusing the drama, which is helping matters, but I think it's the attitude that has to come first.

I've been working out the past two mornings too, which is great! I've been setting up the coffee pot the night before so I can get a cup of coffee in me before I work out. I need to make sure I'm done working out by the time I have to get everyone else up for the day. That's why I used to try working out at night, but I'm finding that our house is still like Grand Central Station at night, with comings and goings, taking Phoebe to activities, phone calls, emails that have to get out, and other chores that need to be done. All this keeps distracting me and then it gets to late and I don't want to work out. So in the morning while I drink my coffee I tell myself how great it's going to feel when I'm done working out. I get down to the elliptical machine and the first 10 minutes are tough. I just want to get off. Then I get in the groove with the music on my iPod and all is well. I think I need to come up with a few good music playlists to motivate me, but then when I'm in front of my computer with a few minutes, I forget what I like to workout to, LOL! I know the beginning of the workout being tough only seems to happen during the first week getting back to working out and more so when I try to in the morning, but I must say I feel great all day.

I have some cute pics that I'll post of getting the boys ready for bed. They are taking their baths together in the regular tub instead of the baby bathtub, which is great. What's funny though is it's harder to take their pics together these days. The instant I get them in position, they want to crawl off in different directions or together. It's really really cute.

Wow! Good for you for getting up to exercise...I though that me getting up early to shower was a commitment, but you...you've outdone me!

Ah...yes, I have many pictures of one baby with other baby's leg or just the back of someone's head...it definitely becomes more difficult to get a good "together" shot!

Bouncing Back From Depression

I've been pretty depressed lately. Monday I hit my all time low, which coincidentally was also my dad's birthday. Needless to say I'm sure I'm on his not favorite child list as I forgot to call him I was so depressed. This whole two mortgage thing with no contract in site is really frustrating. Especially when lots of other houses on our block are selling. Our house is really very lovely, just no pool. It has a really flat backyard perfect for putting a pool in though. Anyway, on Monday, Mom called to make sure I didn't forget to call Dad and tell me she read my blog over the weekend and sent me an email about it. Sorry, Mom, I still have yet to check my emails to see what you had to say. Mom told me I needed to bury a statue of St. Joseph in the yard to get it to sell quicker. Wish I knew that sooner. I was going to wait for her to mail me hers, but yesterday I got really mad at myself and wanted to do something to improve my situation, so I found the nea

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
