I got the thought to post about this while I was visiting a new blog friend as she posted about how her typical horrible trip to the grocery with her little boy actually turned out good because of her attitude. Go over and visit her and read about it yourself on her blog Uberlibrariana
I was so happy to see someone else blog about how their positive attitude made the trip fun because this is so the journey I am on and hope to steer my family towards with my positive attitude.
She said that she went into the grocery excursion saying how fun it was going to be and pumped up her son to go by making a big deal about it being just him and Mommy going. She did bribe him some candy, as most of us do with toddler’s, but she had fun with him and was happy and this rubbed off on her son and they ended up having a great time! “When Mommy’s Happy, everyone is happy.” It makes so much sense!

I will be posting my P90X day 4 this weekend. I am doing it today but have a lot going on and can’t do it til after dinner time.
Also, don’t forget to come link up on my weekend blog hop!
I was so upset at him this morning because we have been having this horrible ice storms and it turned into snow this morning and the roads are terrible and was planning on driving 3 1/2 hours to Cleveland today like it was not big deal.
He goes to Cleveland every week for one night and for the past 4 weeks the weather has been utter hell! The storms this week with the ice have been the worst. There are times he will say to me “had a few close calls on my 6 hour drive home last night but did not say anything to you earlier because I knew you would worry.” This gets me every time.
His job was not suppose to have him gone this much, out of town, but for the last year and a half that is part of it and I HATE it!
So back to this morning. I asked him, begged him, to call his boss and ask him if he could go up Thursday to Friday instead. It does not really matter what day he is up there, it only matters that he is up there. The weather for both here and Cleveland is ridiculously better so I felt more at ease if he would do this. Well this turned into a heated argument and you know what his argument was “well that does not fit into the normal schedule.” Are you freakin’ kidding me? Did he really just say that. I went back with ” a schedule is more important then you safety, you have 2 kids you know.” He was not bending and it was not helping that I was getting upset. We did not resort to yelling yet but we did get more stern in our voices.
I could not help it, I started to tear up and cry. That was it, he left for work and he kissed my forehead and was gone.
I thought for sure I was going to be in a panic all day and all night until he got up to Cleveland safe but 2 hours later I get a text “talked to boss and he is fine with Cleveland for Friday.” It was like a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders. I text back, “awesome, thanks for asking.” I wanted to make sure I told him that I appreciated him asking.
I don’t think he would have called his boss if I ddint’ cry…seriously. Sometimes as women we can use crying to our advantage. I did not cry on purpose but hay it worked! He is home safe and yes it is still ugly outside!
It may seem small to some but it made my whole night to see that number go from 399 to 400 in 3 minutes!
I logged on to facebook at 11:55pm and was at 399 fans. I did not say, ARGH I did not make it, I said, “hm still 5 minutes!” I literally wrote a status update that said “I only need 1 more fan in the next 5 minutes,” and literally, almost the exact same time I wrote it my 400th fan Latisha liked my page. I am not kidding, it was almost as fast as me pushing the share button on FB and I had 400 fans at 11:58pm on January 31,2011.
This may seem silly to some but this is just more proof that LOA works! Positive LOA is the best. If you don’t believe by now that we can control our law of attraction and become more positive and attract what we want, then I don’t know how else to convince you. Oh yes I do….I will keep blogging my awesome experiences until all those skeptical people are saying “yes I get it now, it works!”
This is just one more small step for me in the right direction to where I want my life to be, POSITIVE and loving it!
Here is my FB fan page to check out if you want!
Bring on day 4, I am ready!
I just searched and purchased a yoga mat from amazon an put an image link on here. This is the best price I could find for a 1/4 inch mat that came with free shipping! I bought a red one that was a couple dollars cheaper then the one I have on here. It is weird but each color is a bit of a different price. Hmm. To make it free shipping you need to buy $25 but that was easy because I have been wanting push up bars too and they were around $10 so I got both for $28. Sweet! The push up bars I am buying for P90X too because I have really week wrists and it hurts after halfway through the work out. I thnk these will make it so my wrists won’t hurt so bad. I get carpal tunnel real bad and real quick.
Now I do not have to drag the kids out in the ice and snow and spend gas on a mat! I will have one in a few days!
I am willing to put my money on this program that it will definitely be worth every penny it costs to buy it. For most of you, you know that I borrowed this from a friend. If it goes where I think it is going then I will be purchasing it in 88 more days.
Follow my journey and if you decide to try it then you can purchase right here. I hope that if you do choose to purchase it in the future that you will from my web site. I DO NOT sponsor anything unless I believe in it fully!
Day 3 tomorrow, not sure what it will bring but I am sure it will be challenging and fun!
I originally posted that I wold do bi-weekly pics of me but if these work outs are as intense every day as they have been I may boost that up to once a week instead.
I have been an avid fan of the show Criminal Minds since about the second season. I loved this show and have been recording it for years.
Starting in the 2010 season I really felt that the show was taking a “turn for the worst.” They were showing a lot more crimes involving kids and it started getting more and more graphic. It was getting to the point where if I watched it before I went to bed I could not sleep until I watched a 30 minutes episode of something funny to try and get my mind off of the shows story.
A couple episodes before Christmas I told my husband that if the show did not get better I was going to quit watching it. To my surprise he spike up and said he had been wanting to say that for a while but thought I liked it so much that he did not want to say anything.
Tonight’s show with the Bonnie and Clyde killers was the last show my husband and I will watch as I canceled the series recording of the show. This does bum me out a bit because I LOVE the characters on the show and wish the writers would not have changed it up so much to be so freaking psychotic. Oh well. The older I get the more I feel that if I don’t like something or something is bothering me then “get rid of it!” So I am getting rid of Criminal Minds. You did entertain me for awhile but our relationship is over, sorry CM I am leaving you tonight for good!
Part of my journey is getting rid of the negative in my life and I really do believe that TV plays a huge roll in negativity. If something makes me feel horrible watching it then why would I keep watching it? It’s not going to do anything but put bad thoughts into my head and steer me away from my positive happy journey. I am sure this will not be the only show I say good bye too in my near future. This is just the first.
To make the sauce that goes on the salmon you simply put in 1 pot and boil:
2 TB low sodium soy sauce
1 tsp minced ginger
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
1 tsp rice vinegar
5 ounces mango nectar (you can find this in a soda pop looking can where all the canned fruit is)
Bring this to boil and then simmer without the lid on for 15 minutes until the mixture is just a little thicker and about half the amount. Strain mixture through a small strainer and throw away any solids.
Brush about a 1/4 of it on the salmon and broil 5 minutes (I broil on low) then brush 1/4 mixture again and broil 3 more minutes. The book says to not brush any mixture on until after the first 5 initial minutes of cooking but I prefer it brushed on twice.
Serve with the remaining sauce over salmon. It is yummy and good for you. If this only serves two then its about 260 calories each. For four people is is about 130 calories each.
The smell of the mixture cooking is great too!
FYI: I tried this on chicken once and it was not the best flavor for chicken. Stick to the fish in my opinion.
If you have not bought this book yet and you have tried any recipes that I have shared, it is worth the money to buy one. I love it!
