» A Thank You and A First Real Post » Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

  • A Thank You and A First Real Post

    August 9, 2010

    First of all, I forgot to thank Son #1 who pulled my blog together yesterday afternoon with me. We had a lot of fun choosing colors, figuring fonts out and the like. Since we don’t see a lot of each other these days, it was great to spend an afternoon talking and programming. Thanks Matt!

    Also, I want to explain the title. My life is full of Oh Cr*p moments – believe me. And when we were talking blog titles I mentioned I should just name it Oh crap! because it really did fit. Son #1 laughed and said, “Do it”. So, it stuck. The “unperfect mommy” bit? This is not going to be a blog about how I’m a perfect mom and I do all this great stuff with my kids and they win awards (but I might brag on them from time to time), how I keep a neat as a pin house, how I keep all the feast and seasons of the Church, etc.  Nope – I am ordinary, but you know what? I like being ordinary! I like being home with my children and teaching them about life and academics. I like listening to music with my older children and talking and talking about a myriad of subjects. Ordinary? Maybe..maybe not. One thing is certain, I am not perfect and I’ll write about a lot of those unperfect, oh crap moments in my life.

    So, stick around – check in from time to time and see what this unperfect mommy’s life is about.

About Me

Mom avatar

Hi - welcome to Oh Crap! and if you come back enough times you'll soon find out why I named my blog that.

I am an unperfect mom to 8 great kids: 5 boys and 3 girls (and I had them in that order too).

I have been married for either 40 really long or really short years depending on how my day is going.

Even though I have homeschooled my children for the last 31 years, I am certainly no supermom - unless you count the days I have to rescue my daughters from a moth in their room.

I love coffee, chocolate, and music from the 80's. I enjoy reading books, chick flicks, and thirtysomething.

So, that's me in a nutshell (and I'm probably more of a nut than you know). Thank you for visiting me on my blog!
