YEE HA...

Mistaya on the Spiderman slide.

This week has started out difficult. Pip has the worst virus. Her eyes are weeping yellow and half closed, she coughs all night, had an ear ache with it and a fever. I got zero sleep last night, listening to her cough non-stop. So, I am taking the day off--no choice. No painting, no gym--naught. I will take her on a stroller ride around the neighborhood though and do my abs. It's been since last Wednesday that I did any serious exercise. I had to break for my sanity and body. I realize in retrospect, with all the hardcore activity I've been doing, my body had no time to rebuild itself. I assaulted it with exhausting workouts everyday , sometimes three times a day. But I do get obsessed with things easily and cannot see clearly. I thought if I can do the workouts easily, then what is the problem? I never took into consideration the necessity of down time. But now, I'm ready to go back and I cannot. No sleep and a sick baby keep me grounded for another day.
Tabs and Mist have a busy dance week. Their costumes are gorgeous.
I am still reading "The Brain that Changes Itself", by Norman Doidge M.D. I am learning so very much and loving it. I've come up with ideas to solve any all glitches in my family.
My new meditation songs are wonderful. I love meditating to nature sounds.
Peter and I have not ruled out a quick tropical vacation for 2, once he hands in his dissertation.
