May Progress Report
May 28, 2011
Well, the weight loss thing hit a big bump this month and I’ve gained a few pounds :-(. This just means I need to get my plan together for next month and try again. All is not lost, I just need to keep going forward and trying.
Today I was reading a thread on the homeschool board I am on, and got motivated about my own priorities for my life. The one thing that I need to do is get into a routine with the house. Last night I pulled out Keeping House and started reading it. The history of housework is an eye opener and worth the read. So, I decided to just git-r-done and I did get quite a few things done! I also revamped my homekeeping book to just 5 simple lists so that I have a blueprint for my days. It’s a good start!
Tomorrow I am taking some time off! I still have to do grocery shopping, but will also add in Starbucks and a few places to shop. I need some new jeans and shorts for the summer so will take a deep breath and do that too. I have come to really hate clothes shopping now that I’m so heavy. Some day, maybe, I won’t fear it anymore. At any rate, I plan to de-stress and have some fun.
So goodbye May with the gas leak fiasco, the tornadoes, the stress. Hello June and here’s to a new month full of the promise of summer and beginning new again. Isn’t that what we should do each day anyway?
About Me
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!

Ack, housework! :( My house is in dire need of cleaning. It has to be done in the next few days as I have the little sew-ers coming on Weds. I'll try to think positive while I clean.

Yeah, I share your sentiments! It looks like I may need to take a cleaning morning tomorrow - things always seem to get away from me on the weekends. I'll be thinking of you as you clean your place up too :-).
