  • I’m Not That Blogger

    June 14, 2012

    Nope, I’m just an ordinary woman who is almost 50 and homeschools 5 of her 8 children and plays Suzy Homemaker each and every day by cleaning house and making meals.  I do not command an audience of 2,000,000 hits a month.  I do not get 500 comments on a post.  I do not write books or ebooks that make me money on the side.  I don’t even belong in some of these mommy blog circles – so many are much younger than me and only have toddlers and babies.   BTDT!  I still have kids at home, but my nest is emptying and there aren’t many bloggers like me with different ages and stages while entering your 50’s.

    Sometimes I don’t update my blog often because usually some crap is going on like sickness, tornado weather, or hormones (or all 3 at the same time).    Sometimes it’s because my life is so incredibly ordinary that I wonder why anyone would want to read about it.  And, obviously not many do.

    What I do talk about is real though and it is my life and while it may not be perfect or thought provoking or laced with a gazillion pictures,  it’s all I know and know how to do.   And keeping it simple is best.

    I'm glad you don't get two million hits per month. That'd be a sysadmin nightmare for me (also expensive).

    Also, I approve your use of the Oxford comma.

    Okay, what's the Oxford comma? And - I wouldn't want to get two million hits a month either. Twenty would be good though :-).

    When writing multiple objects, items, and such, the Oxford comma is placed before the conjunction.

    Hmmm - okay. I think I know where it is but, I don't see the conjunction. Are you sure?

    Hey, there's nothing wrong with ordinary!

    And I also appreciate the Oxford comma.

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!
