If you’re familiar with this book you’ll appreciate this title. The premise of the book is that Alexander wants to go to Australia to escape his challenges at home and school and at the end of the book his mom says, ” Some days are like that…even in Australia.”

nder today. I want to escape to somewhere exotic too…my day started at 3am with my baby vomiting all over me (fortunately this time she didn’t get my laptop, I just got a new one 2 weeks ago since she ruined my last one in January from this same trick!) and then it just seemed to be down hill from there…it seemed like I couldn’t do or say anything right today. Ugh. So what am I doing about it? My kids watched Peter Pan and ate popcorn for dinner (instead of the stirfry planned). Yep. No veggies, unless you count popcorn as a veggie. GASP! I don’t even feel guilty about it.

Yesterday was great! One of the things to pick myself back up besides sleep was get back on top of the law of attraction thoughts, realizing that thoughts become things…if I’m telling myself I’m having a bad day, what am I going to have? Exactly what I’m telling/thinking! Prayer always helps too.
[…] and even if it’s just a mental mind game, it’s working (particularly since I had a bad day last week, I “need” these jeans!) I think I will write on all of my clothes, […]
