Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

June Progress Report

July 1, 2011

Okay, let’s start with the positives – book reading! Here are the books I am currently going through:

1. “Happiness Project” – I’m up to July now.

2. “Keeping House” – I’m on the last few chapters

3. “Please Don’t Drink The Holy Water” and “Bless Me Father For I Have Kids” – I’m reading a “chapter” here and there as I have time. These are SO funny and that is something I really need after a long hard day in the mommy mines.

4. “Chosen and Cherished” – Trying to read a chapter a day so I can go on to the next two books. After the first reading, I can go through and do more detailed study if I want.

Okay, now for the “negatives” if you will. I’m off my groove. I got thrown off in May and I’m still struggling to get back in. I need to make definite goals for each week and try my best to stick with them. I also need to tackle just one thing at a time – but I think I’ve said that before. Trying to do too many new things at once is often times more than I can handle so it’s best for me to just try to change one habit.

Now with that said, there are some great things going on right now. We’re unofficially out of debt – just waiting for that last payment to roll through (there will be an entire post dedicated to this when it happens). I have a special friend coming to visit me this month and I cannot wait to meet her! More on that later too. Birthday shopping this month for Steve and that means a day out with Joe for that. He also wants a frappuccino so we’ll cover that too. What’s a day of shopping without going to Starbucks? We also are going to have a big “out of debt” party at a local place because we haven’t all eaten out in literally years. And, oh yeah, school supply shopping will be starting in July as well – can’t you see the glazed over look in my eyes??

So, it’s not all bad, I just need to make concrete goals and just try really hard to keep up. I need to be around for at least 10 more years to see my kids get out of the house and I’m not looking forward to this whole “change” thing either that women have to go through. Oh well…gotta roll with the changes right?

So proud of you for getting out of debt!! I can't wait to hear about your big celebration.
I think it is good you can juggle 4 books at a time. I'm just thinking I'll put one foot in front of the other for tomorrow. ;)

Thanks!! Well, the books while not easy reads can be read in small chunks at a time. So, I read a little here and a little there. It works. Putting one foot in front of the other is a good thing - you do what you can each day. Do what you can with what you have where you are - a good quote.
