» TGIF » Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

    July 6, 2012

    It’s been a busy week for me but the results have been good so far.

    Monday was another reading program day at our library and this week there was a juggler!  Joe and Katie both were even picked to help with tricks – Katie did plate spinning with 3 other kids, and Joe did a trick with a whip and balloons and a blindfold.  Don’t worry – the guy poked the balloons to pop them.  It was cool.  I have to say, not being the young mommy with babies and toddlers is nice – I actually get to enjoy the performance now!  Matt and Jeff asked me if I remember seeing a magician at a reading program long ago, but I don’t.  Must have had a baby or a toddler :-).

    Tuesday I had an ultrasound.  NO, I’m not pregnant, but parts of me are having change of life issues and I want to see what’s available to stop that.  I won’t know the results until next Tuesday when I see the ob/gyn again.  So far no one has called about anything, so I’m going to assume all is fairly normal.

    Wednesday was the Fourth, and Matt and Jeff traveled home for the day.   It was weird because they were just visiting instead of staying home for the weekend which always feels like they’re still here.  A good time was had by everyone at any rate.  We even snuck in a Mhing card game and yours truly won TWO games!!  That’s unheard of people – must be these great meds I’m on :-).  The boys stayed until after the Boston Pops Fireworks and headed home.  Katie was already sleeping by then so she missed saying goodbye.  Oh well – it had been a long day.

    Thursday was low key for a change.  Just school in the morning and laundry and resting in the afternoon.  A nice day.  I did use the fact that Mike is home on vacation to my advantage and sent him on a couple of errands – bwahahahaha.  I know how to work it :-).

    Friday – today – I had my second visit with the physician assistant.  My blood pressure has gone done very nicely, but it still a little higher than she would like.  So, she upped my bp meds a little and will see me in two weeks.  Overall, she is very pleased with my progress and so am I.  I’m starting to have some emotional spells about it though.  It’s a lot to take in all at once and I’m hoping that once things start leveling off I can get back to a more normal life.   Well, a new normal anyway.

    So, that was my week.  It’ll be another hot weekend here and then it will finally cool back to more decent temps by Monday – thankfully!  I think that will help how everyone feels around here too.  I may get to sit outside or even walk outside in the mornings again :-).  That would indeed be very nice.   Happy Friday!

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!
