Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Is it Monday already??

September 26, 2011

Well, friends, it has been a wild week and it’s going to wrap up today and maybe (just maybe) it will slow down a bit for me to breathe a little. I need to write some thoughts about a couple things and so here’s what will hopefully be coming up this week:

The fashion show write up – Yeah, yeah, I know it’s going to be really late, but hey, I have a good reason. I’m going to get one of my tech kids to cut a still from the video they took so you all won’t run out of the house screaming when you see it :-).

The last days of my soap, All My Children – I watched every show last week and probably should have been watching the last month to see the wrap ups. This is a sad time for so many of us, and I want to add my tribute as the show was such a big part of my life for many years.

Today is a luncheon at a local restaurant for my husband who is celebrating 30 years with the company he works for. So I’ve been spending the last 2 days doing things like getting haircuts, buying new clothes and shoes for the kids, and generally making sure we are going to look good for this thing. The last time we did this was 10 years ago at his 20th anniversary, and I felt so frumpy and dumpy and I resolved not to let THAT happen again. The last time we went to one of these functions was also 10 years ago at Mike’s office Christmas party and it ended in disaster (a story that will be told at some point) and I swore on a stack of Bibles I would never, ever do that again. Except, now that the kids are older I’m running out of excuses I guess. I felt guilty to not go so we’re going against my better judgment. Hopefully it will all work out.

With all the going to the store to get all this stuff, and with all the kids here for this event, it feels like getting ready for a wedding or a funeral. It’s a family gathering to honor another family member so it has that “gathering” feel to it you know? I realize that really we are beginning these gatherings now that the kids are getting older and there will be weddings, and funerals, in the years to come, and it hit me that my home will be the center for these instead of someone else’s. Time is flying by and in the whirlwind of it all I hope to be able to find a moment to enjoy whatever we are celebrating.
