    May 22, 2016

    It’s time for a new Weekend Gallery!  I’ve taken quite a few pictures which should be enough for the next couple of weeks or so.  Enjoy!

    I know since we’re heading toward the 40th anniversary of the Star Wars movie next year and they released another one this year there’s going to be new stuff on the shelves but mascara??  I mean – what’s the point?  It colors your eye lashes – big deal! And colored mascara?  BTDT.  Yeah – not new people.

    These I just don’t understand.  Kind of reminds me of the Big Shoe Dance in Pee Wee Herman’s Big Adventure though. :-)

    Sending thank you cards is always a nice gesture.  However, make sure you send these to someone who appreciate’s bawdy humor.  I laughed my butt off when I saw these.

    They have boxes of apple crisp topping mix in the store (which makes zero sense), but now you can buy individual crisps in the canned fruit aisle!  My original stance still stands – making a fruit crisp is incredibly easy!  Yes, even individual ones.  *smh*

    Hey, I’m all for truth in advertising, but this is a carton of milk people – do you really have to add that it contains milk?? I’m sure if you have a milk allergy you will not even go near the milk cartons so this is just…just.  Le sigh.

    And this last one is a Hall of Fame picture – a 1979 Corvette!  I love Corvettes (What? I haven’t ever talked about this?!).  It’s my very favorite car.  I’m not much on the new ones though, it’s the older ones from the 70’s that I love.  They had so much more uniqueness and still had the signature round brake lights.   There are about 2 of these old beauties in our town and I see them every once in a great while.  I always sigh when they go by on the road – a great blast from the past.

    Well, there you have it for this week.  Join me again next week for more of the interesting and insane to be found around.

  • Still Here

    May 21, 2016

    I thought I’d better say something like “I’m still alive” in case there is anyone out there wondering.  I just really haven’t had time or the inclination to write anything for the last month.  Sure, I’ve written a couple of possible posts, just haven’t finished them and posted.   My heart is heavy due to a kid graduating from college and he will be moving 1500 miles away in three months.  I am working through that.  I am physically and mentally exhausted and feel like I’m going through most of my days in a fog.  I have decisions to make that I’m not making and things to do that I’m not doing.  It’s an odd place to be, but not really sure I can put my finger on exactly what is going on.  So, I’m just going with burned out.  To a freakin’ crisp.  I do have a zillion new pictures for Weekend Gallery fodder so maybe I’ll do that tomorrow.   At any rate, I’m here, but in some ways I’m not.  Oh yeah, and sorry for it’s being just one paragraph but burned out people just don’t give a crap about grammar sometimes.

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!
