When You Sleep Until 1:18 pm

Yep... that's what I did today... I slept until 1:18 in the afternoon!  I didn't go to bed that late - 11:30 or so, but I slept until 1:18!  I woke up around 8 am and thought to myself... I'll just stay in bed a little while longer... and then my body decided I needed to catch up on some major morning sleep!

I'm not sick.  I wasn't even particularly tired (or drunk) when I went to bed last night. When I woke up at 8 am I felt just fine.  That was just a power body move.  YOU are tired and I'm shutting you down for a few hours (about 5).  I guess my body made the decision for me as to whether I go to the Irish Breakfast.... HA!  I didn't even make it to Irish lunch- if they had one! :)  I wasn't sore either when I woke up that late... like bed sore from being in one position for too long.  It was as if that time just slipped away and didn't really elapse.

Oh how grateful I am that I had the chance to crash for that long!  I'm not even sure I did that in college... not that late!  Ok... now I"m going to bed and hoping to wake up at a decent time so I don't miss most of the daylight! :)  Nothing like a change up!  Thanks body for taking over and getting me rested!

Sunday Vinyasa

Having leisurely mornings is something that I am enjoying immensely as of late.  Today was no different.  I woke up did some correspondence and headed up to my painting project to dot some i's and cross some t's.     Of course I got a bit carried away because I couldn't let good paint go to waste and went into the Little One's closet to add some more to her mural... when I returned to my iPod dock, it said it was past the time to get out of the house for Sunday morning yoga!  DOH!  Plus it's January and it's really full in January.. full of people with great intentions... I'll just leave it at that.  :) I thought, this is the FIRST time I was able to go to this class on a Sunday (with my favorite teacher) and I am going to jet out of here and make it!  And I did... BUT I forgot my badge to get in - thankfully you get one 'forget' time and I know the people at the desk so they know I'm legit.  WHEW! I made it... I'm on the mat.  It's

Re: The Title

So I mentioned in my first post that I would explain the title of this blog later and I guess it's time... Packers and Vikings are playing in the background and I would rather write.. although I did partake in some 'cowboy caviar' which is a salsa of sorts as part of my football party food put together for a football gathering that I decided not to attend... So "Maybe She's Mental" is a little something that came to me in the woods (of course) because of a certain happening in my life that caused unnamed people to think I needed psychiatric help.  If you change your behavior from what everyone expects of you, you probably need therapy and subsequent medication for a 'condition' that was brought on from stress or other traumatic event.  Can you get out of a psychiatrist's office WITHOUT medication?  I don't know and I don't intend to find out. I also tend to have random thoughts that could seem strange to others so I could see them think

Three Strikes

Image
In an attempt to get some quiet time at night after the kids go to bed, I instituted a new program for my almost 4 year old yesterday - 'The Three Strikes and YOU'RE OUT' program.  It never fails to amaze me how a technique can work wonderfully for one child, maybe even the second child, but the third comes along and blows it all out of the water!  I never even had to get to this level with #1 and #2, the counting up to 5 usually did the trick! Last night I told her about the program and she got ALL THREE STRIKES in about 5 minutes!  Now what?  Now I have her removing the strikes she got... by being a good listener.  She will likely be back to full strike status in no time this evening when it comes time to go to bed again... I do love her non-conformity.... and she's so darn cute I really can't get mad at her... my little firecracker.
