Big girl tub.

Sadie had her bath in the "big" tub tonight!!! The last few nights, she's been trying to climb out of her inflated tub. She almost hit her face once. So, I decided it's time for her to be in the regular tub. I actually bought a rubber mat for under her tush. But, I found out that our tub is already "non-skid" so suction cups won't stick to the bottom. She didn't slide around at all. Sadie is doing great. She has been very silly this evening. I went to pick up a few things for her party this Saturday and some favors and things. I am excited but also sad. I can't believe my baby is going to be 1! Such is life! Well. Not much else to report. Sadie is great, Adam and I are great. Life is sweet! Loves


Today's Kabbalah:

It's difficult to deal with the dishonesty and games of other people. But, it's not our job to judge them because they don't act the way we do. Just the opposite, we're in their lives to show them how it's done.

Today, show. Don't tell.

New pics

I am posting 2 slideshows. one is just pics of Sa-Sa from this past week. The ones of her in the flower shirt and in the bathtub are from today. She never lays down in the bath anymore, but I guess today she just needed to relax! The pics of her with the mesh thing is her eating peaches. She was enjoying them immensely. The juice got all over her, but she was having fun. Sadie seems to be feeling much better. When we went to the doc for her follow up she looked good but had fluid behind her ears so Dr. Rosi went ahead and prescribed antibiotics. That way if she started to seem like the ears were bothering her over this pas weekend. We could just give it to her.

The other slideshow was from Father's day. We only got to see my Dad. Adam's Dad is in China! Tommy and my Mom were on the boat. We did get to see Tommy on Friday and give him his gift. We went out to the Flying biscuit for breakfast. Later my sis Mellina and her daughter Jerilyn went to my Dad's so we met them over there and went swimming. Sadie enjoyed her cousin. Well, 2 weeks from today, Sa-Sa will be 1! Hard to believe. Enjoy the pics


Today's Kabbalah:

When things are going haywire in our lives, or in the world, it's because there is darkness. Or rather, not enough Light.Today, remove the pockets of chaos from your life by revealing Light. It happens through restriction. Do something that is difficult. Against your nature. Out of the box. No strings attached.

Over a year!

As of June 14 I have been posting on this blog for a year! Pretty crazy. This time last year I was 10 days away from my due date. Crazy. A year has gone by so fast.

Sadie is sick again. Saturday morning she was kinda fussy and it has progressed from there. She has been running a temp of 102-103 since then. She is very irritable and unhappy. I feel terrible for her. Adam stayed home with her this morning and I got off work at 3 so he could go to work. Tomorrow Adam will be home with her again. As I type this she is crying a little and I feel terrible. She has been mostly crying since about 4pm today. Adam took her to Dr. Rosi's today and they said Sadie has a virus. There really isn't anything we can do besides treat the fever. I hope she gets some rest tonight. She was up most of last night. She 'll sleep for about 20-30 minutes at a time and then wake up crying. Earlier this morning Adam said she finally took a nice long nap (she stopped crying. Maybe she fell asleep). I feel so helpless. I can see in her eyes she feels terrible but I can't really do anything for her. We'll see what happens.

I took these pics on Thursday. My mom got her these cute hair ties and my Dad and Carrie got her the dress. She looks adorable!

Today's Kabbalah:

You know those times when we catch ourselves getting reactive, and we promise the other person we're going to "remain calm?" I bring this up because although we mean well, too often we stay stuck in the matrix of judgment and resentment.Today, don't work so hard to "remain" calm. Instead, decide to stay patient and not to get mad in the first place.

Sea World Saturday!

We made it down to Sea world on Saturday. Had a fun time. Unfortunately the weather didn't really cooperate. There was bad lightning and rain for quite a while. So, we stayed for a few hours then left. Good thing is we have passes! So, we can go back. Sadie got to see the penguins, dolphins and sting rays. Adam got to ride the "manta". All in all it was a good day. Sadie was exhausted after (as were we!). Sunday My dad and Carrie came over to visit. They'd been in the Keys for 2 weeks so we all wanted to visit. It was nice to get to see them! I am so jealous of my Dad's beautiful tan. Today we both went back to work. Adam is closing and I just put miss Sadie down. I am posting 2 slide shows. 1 is from Sea World, the other is from visiting with my Dad and Carrie. Enjoy. Loves.

Daily Kabbalah:

Challenges are opportunities. I'd just like to remind you of this timeless principle for the 2,344,343th time.Believe me, I know seeing negative events as opportunities (rather than punishment) is one of the hardest things a person can do. Just remember, it's second nature to your soul and the more you practice this perspective, the more it will become second nature to your rational consciousness.Today, watch your experience change as your attitude changes towards things that would normally bother you.

TGI almost F

The weekend is almost here and Adam and I are actually both off. We may go to Sea World on Saturday. It just depends on the weather. Other than that, not much to report. Sadie is great! I am posting some cute pics from the past few days. Hope you enjoy. Loves

Daily Kabbalah:

"Will I see you tonight?" How many times have you said that to someone — not because you really wanted them to show up — but only to validate your going?Same with arguing. When we try to convince someone we're right, it's often not because we care about the person, but rather we need their affirmation to feel good about our own beliefs. It is a no-win situation because we're a slave to others' reactions and our contentiousness pushes people away.Today — be open to listening to a variety of viewpoints. Accept people as they are. You may learn something from them.

Busy Monday

Today was a crazy day at work. It made the day whiz by. Sometimes I like busy days, it makes the day go by and I get to see Sadie! We had a nice evening. We went to the playground and swang. She had her dinner and we had a walk. She's clean and sleeping baby! Enjoy the pics. Loves

Today's Kabbalah:

A simple way to get to the core of relationship drama, and to find the nugget of gold hiding in the mess, is to have empathy for the other. "What's his perspective of the situation? What's his pain?"Empathy is a wonderful tool. Seeing the situation from another side helps us see a new side of ourselves. And it pulls the plug on quicksand thoughts and sour feelings. "Sounds nice Yehuda, but I don't want to feel this person's pain today. I want to strangle them!" I understand, but as universal law teaches us, you'll only strangle yourself in the end.Today, when a loved one sends your reactive meter shooting from 1 to 10, remember empathy.
