This week it's all love baby.
Loving YOURSELF is today's focus. We oftentimes are quickly distracted by menial shit that just plain doesn't matter at the end of the day. Whether that is stress at work or home, or you're feeling overwhelmed with all the itty bitty details of your IF journey. Or maybe some insignificant little twat just wanted to stink up your day. Let's get redirected.
This week is all about love. Loving yourself. Your SO. You wee one(s), those in your arms and in heaven. And everyone else who touches your life in a positive way. How do you love yourself? I know that sounds funny, but it's kind of a big deal. YOU matter. And I'm guessing you put yourself LAST in line for a lot of things. Today let's talk about being kind and loving to yourself. Because you are just as important.
P - (P is for pleasure) What physical activity makes you feel better? It could be as simple as a hug, or intense as a marathon. (and yes, sex counts. but let's be honest, who here has fun having sex anymore... ha ha ha)
M - (M is for ME!) Tell me ONE thing you love about yourself. It's not that hard. You can do it. ;-)
S - (S is for supercalifragilisticexpialidocious) What are you good at? BRAG bitches! I want to hear alllz the talentz.

Re: P.M.S. Thursday
P - running is my drug. i pop in my headphones and take off. physically it's all-encompassing. the feel of the asphalt on my feet. the wind in my hair. the gravity of each step makes me feel more connected to the earth while in my mind i am GONE. it's just me and the music. no stress. i wish i would make more of an effort to get back into running. i just made it sound fan-fucking-tastic.
womp womp.
M - i love my freckles. not only do i think they take 10 years off my age but they cover up zits like a mofo. and they allowed me to be Punky Brewster for halloween 5 times in a row. she was the shizz back in my day.
S - I am good at my job. Being a nurse is no breeze, despite what some may think. I bust my ass 13 hours a day caring for complete strangers on death's door. i'm their nurse, their psychiatrist, their parent, and sometimes their only friend. but I treat my patients like if they were my family (well, most of them. some of them are total fucktards who bite, kick spit and scream obscenities at me but I still take care of them.) i see people on their WORST days and get to help them get through it, whether that is healing or letting go. so many times i wake up in the night thinking of them, wondering how they are getting on. and i know i am meant to do this. i make a difference, and damn right i'm proud of that.

P = soccer. I was too sick to play last weekend, but there is something wildly therapeutic about running around and kicking the shit out of a soccer ball.
M = I think my best physical feature is my eyes. They're blue and I like them! My best personality feature would be that I try to see different perspectives (but then the Libra in me gets pissy when other people refuse to take others' perspectives).
S = I don't toot my own horn a lot, but this is where I have to give myself credit (if I didn't I would go crazy trying to figure out how I could do better): I fight so effing hard for my son. I don't know if he would even be talking right now if I hadn't worked so hard with him for so long. We practice skills all the time and I have to make therapeutic moments out of EVERYTHING we do while still keeping him interested and it is so freaking HARD sometimes! It's like I work 16 hours a day, 7 days a week (because I do that at work all day, too).
Mrs Castillo your spirit is great for all of us.
P - I really enjoy hanging my laundry out in the morning. It's before the heat sets in and all the birds are singing. It's a quite moment all to myself. It's actually a pleasant little chore.
M - My best physical feature is my long red hair. Really my best feature is that I am very giving and nurturing.
S- I'm a great mom, my daughter is happy, smart, tenacious and well adjusted. I can sing! and I'm a good photographer (once upon a former pre-child life, I got my degree in photography and had my own business)
TTC #2 since 1/1/13
P- nap and cuddle time w my girl. We have coslept since she was a baby and nap together everyday. She is super independent and even if she wants to sit in lap or hang out with me she is nonstop wiggle and crawling all over. So sleepy time and nap time are when she is just cuddle bug comfy huggy bear with arms around me and legs too- they've gotten so long!!!
M- my quick wit/ cleverness, my Dad used to (and still does) call me Chandler (Friends) and it is nice to be able to come up with things quickly bc it isn't always jokes or snappy come backs but reacting quickly in a situation that requires it instead of being in shock- I have been able to be a great help in many situations and am glad for it.
S- I am happy with my relationship w y girl. Being a SAHM can be tedious but spending the days teaching her, cooking, baking, experiments, play... It is all something that I just see pay off nonstop. I am ADHD and with her personality being so much like me and so tall I can fill in the holes before they become cracks later and my hope is her self esteem doesn't suffer bc she is different. She is going to know it is ok to have energy and creativity and be a girl who is outgoing (where is always felt like it was wrong to be me) and being tall isn't something she will always be harassed for. I guess mostly I am proud I will be there for her where as my birth mother left me.
I also am proud of my photography and editing skills (I wish I had majored in it!!!) and would like to go into business w @bananappeal145

Our IVF miracles were born 7/16/15
M: legs. They are long. Which is rare to find pants long enough but they look awesome in shorts. Plus I never gain weight there!
S: organized. I attribute our family staying afloat in the past 9 crazy months to the fact that I keep everything in our life so organized that a lot of balls can keep going at once.
M - My hair. Even though it feels like its all falling out, thanks a lot stupid hormones, I love the length and the new way I style it. It took me 30 years to be able to say that about my hair.
S - Sewing and crafts. My 4 yr old has been asking for Anna's coronation dress since we first saw Frozen in Nov. No one sells that dress so I made one for her party today. She looked just like Anna!!! My (almost) 6 yr old wanted Elsa's dress. Again, can't find it anywhere (for a reasonable price) plus she wears a size 7 so I made hers as well. It turned out beautifully!
