Taking a Time Out!

Taking a Time Out!

Good evening! I am have given myself a time-out! LITERALLY!! You know, when you are a little kid and your parents ground you to your room, and it might as well be the ABSOLUTE WORST THING POSSIBLE??? Well, I wish my mom were around now 

A Confession & The Night Off!

A Confession & The Night Off!

Good evening! I have a confession to make! I am tired, I have no idea what to talk about tonight, and I don’t wanna blog tonight!! PLEASE TELL ME YOU HAVE FELT THAT WAY BEFORE!!! Man, I really am sooo pooped!! (What an AWFUL expression!) 

A Sleepy Tuesday!

A Sleepy Tuesday!

Good evening!!

I am SOOOO TIRED this evening!!! The past few days of staying up too late, and getting up crazy early has finally caught up with me!! SOOO, tomorrow, I am planning on practicing some EXTREME SELF-CARE!!! What I mean by extreme self care, is that I am going to treat myself like my own best friend tomorrow!! Taking some much need time and effort to take care of myself and treat myself with the same kind of care that I want my best friends and loved ones to be treated with.

Some of those Extreme Self-Care things are:

  • Get up early and have a leisurely morning getting ready for work
  • Pack some calming tea and take a break mid-morning to get away from the office and have a nice cuppa
  • Take some time to go for a walk, maybe take some pictures of some beautiful things while I am out
  • Take a much-loved fiction book to work, and spend my lunch  reading something fun that takes my mind off of work
  • Keep telling myself over and over that it is alright, I am doing a great job, and this will be soooo worth it
  • When I get home, have a simple, but candlelit dinner with my husband, while we listen to some calming music
  • Spend the evening, reading, or walking outside, or playing with my sweetie and the girls – STEP AWAY FROM THE TELEVISION!
  • Slip into a well made bed, early, maybe read a little, snuggle with my honey, and fall asleep peacefully!!!
  • HEAVEN! HEAVEN! HEAVEN!!!

Basically anything, ANYTHING that makes my health, and happiness a priority!!! I really need that, because I have been treating myself a little rough lately!!! Maybe some of you might need that too – what kinds of things would be on your extreme self-care list? Tell me in the comments above!! 😉

I did pick up something tonight, that really MADE MY DAY!! I picked up the latest copy of the magazine ‘Where Women Work’. I am not sure how many of you have seen that, but it is SOOOO INSPIRING!!! It has made me start thinking about getting back on the ball and keep working on getting my office/craftroom beautiful!!! I have made the decision that wherever my career ends up, I know it is going to have something to with computers, creativity, improving people’s lives and beaing surrounded by beauty!!! I KNOW, sounds DIVINE, doesn’t it????

Anyway, I do have a big day ahead of me tomorrow, including a super-early am meeting, which means I have to get up a little early tomorrow morning to get my booty out the door!!! So, that means I have to dash and get a few more items checked off of the to-do list before I hit the hay!!

Have a FABULOUS evening! 😉
