I’ve got mad fever!

No, I am not talking scarlet fever or hay fever… It’s SPRING fever around here! Thankfully we’ve kicked our cold (I should say E and I kicked it, N might be coming down with it now). So things are more productive here especially since the weekend was warmer than usual, basically it was NOT jacket weather [...]

The day of red

18 months ago, thanks to my Fertility Awareness Method charting I knew I was pregnant, before I’d even missed my period. Now, over a year later I am back in the world of fertile women and am reminded of how bad it sucks to have “that time of the month” again… Oh and we have to [...]

Road trip adventures Everly enjoyed.

Whew! After a week on the road we needed a day to decompress after getting back to Evansville. Yesterday we sat around in our PJ’s, did many loads of laundry, scrubbed cat vomit from the carpets, cleaned cat boxes… You know all the chores and stuff that go undone while you are away. Everly was a [...]

What is it with shower situations in New Mexico? We are spending the night in Tucumcari, NM this time around. We got a cheap hotel to spend the night in and unfortunately it only has a shower. You see it’s a cheap hotel, tiny, clean and shower-less with a super loud heater… You get what you [...]

The last time I showered in New Mexico…

We are on the road in our newly fixed car! After flying here and hanging out with family and friends it’s now time to make the trip back home, in our car. We spent much time this morning debating weather or not it was a good idea to make the trek up north to I-40 [...]

Live Blogging: Cat Swallows Needle

Here are my tweets as they played out during the night and early hours of the morning. I didn’t realized it would reach so many people. At first I was just tweeting so my husband would know what was going on, then I kept tweeting to be sure I didn’t leave anyone in the dark. [...]

It’s true. N and I got the holiday ham that keeps on giving. It seems we have food poisoning or something… It’s been an ongoing thing for over a week now. We just tossed several pounds of ham leftovers after we figured it was the culprit, also tossed the spinach salad just for good measure. [...]

Dazed, anxiety ridden and plagued with ham disease.

Christmas 2009 as parents.

I never thought I would be such a gingerbread cookie fiend! Last week we made up a ton of cookies to get in the holiday spirit and also so N would have cookies to take in to work for everyone. We’d been trying different gingerbread cookie recipes each year, nothing was particularly impressive and I thought [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

She’s not even walking yet and she’s already being a stinker about opening gifts early. After her gift snagging earlier in the week we moved all the gift bags and stuff with ribbon away from her reach. We thought the paper and curly ribbon was attracting her attention. Looks like she’s smarter about this gift [...]

Someone is excited about the holiday!

I have a confession. I am fairly certain twitter is killing my creativity! I’ve been having issues with blog content since Everly’s birth. Sure I am a busy mom who is working part time in addition to caring for a new baby. Yeah, computer time is limited these days… The thing is it’s not the time that [...]

A twitter addiction? Confessions and talk of loss.

Baby leg warmers crochet fun

I’ve been working on making E a pair of baby legwarmers since October. I just finished them today which is kind of a big deal. You see I tend to start and never finish my knit and crochet projects… Today will probably be the only day she’ll wear them since it took me two months to [...]

All the trees are naked and it is very close to freezing at night now. Thanksgiving is just right around the corner and we aren’t really sure where the year has gone. Life is blowing by so fast and it just feels like we are standing here in a blur while it all swirls around us [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

Well, we’ve done it! Several years of planning and thousands of dollars later… We are now the proud owners of our own home! N was bummed that we had no “sold” sign to pose with out on the front lawn though… We may just have to stage it anyway, kind of like this: We went in [...]

Today we are proud home owners!

This will be the first weekend in probably a month or so that we’ll have to relax and get caught up on things. Marching season has come and gone, my 9th marching season is now over. Sure winterguard plans and ideas are in the works but it wont be until January when the performance madness picks [...]

Sigh… Rest and recuperation are in order.

Laws of attraction and expectation how they shape your life.

Posted on Nov 14 in motivationalby TalinaPrintText Resizer Text Resizer

How many times have you have you just known that things were going to go wrong? That someone was going to fail you or let you down? That as soon as you paid off the car it would break… These are negative thoughts. When you think them you are expecting something bad to happen, you have convinced yourself that doom is near that way you wont be surprised or crushed when it actually happens.

Many people don’t understand that these negative thoughts are actually preventing anything good from happening. This is the laws of attraction in action. Many life coaches, self help experts and motivational speakers believe that what you think about becomes a reality because you are willing it to.

I read a post over on gather.com »”>gather.com today where a young lady talked about how she was afraid to trust or confide in people, she had been let down before and to protect herself she would “shut people out” and prevent them from getting close, from becoming the friend she really needed.

Reading this post reminded me that people have a tendency to become what you expect them to. I see this in my students all the time. If you think they are bad or stupid they act that way. When you see something good in them and you have faith in who they will become they start to believe it too. Sometimes people need you to believe in them so they can do their best.

We all know we are our own worst enemies.. We are the hardest on ourselves and we sometimes only see the bad in ourselves. When someone else recognizes this bad in us that we already knew was there it sometimes makes us feel awful and hopeless and we are consumed by the awfulness that those people see, we become what they believe we already are.

If you feel that people always fail you (like I sometimes do) try to remember that if you can have a little faith and hope things could turn out differently. Things wont change or improve until you do. Life turns out how you expect it to, so change your expectations and your life will change!

    I am always telling my missus to think positive, she tends to look at the worse case scenario for everything and usually she’s right and can’t believe it’s because she was thinking about the negative side!
    even if I’m not feeling confident about something, I think it’s really important to try and imagine it succeeding or being a correct decision to just help it along the way to success.
