Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Thankful Thursday

August 31, 2017

Yeah, yeah, I’m sure some other Mommy Blogger does this, but…what the hell, it’s good alliteration.

I was thinking this morning that I need to stem the tide of my anger and bitchiness that has really gotten out of proportion lately. Even I’m getting embarrassed by the crap spewing out of my mouth. So, I know that one way to stop all that is to be more grateful especially when things are difficult and that’s what I’m going to do here each Thursday – put a list of everything I’m grateful for in the last week. And crack out that Anger Workbook too. :-P

Things I’m thankful for August 24-August 31
- Cooler weather so it’s not as hot in the car (a/c is out)
- Severence pay – finally
- A birthday celebration that was a lot of fun (son #2 turned 29)
- Pepsi Cake
- A husband willing to go to the laundromat to dry laundry (dryer is broke too)
- Selling homeschool books for extra cash (St. Joseph help with that please!)
- My housework routines
- Being a frugal mom
- Meeting Son #3’s girlfriend
- Leslie Caron movies on TCM
- thirtysomething
- Sephora Play! boxes
- Vera Bradley 50%off sale
And yes, I’m thankful for the obvious things: oxygen, nature, life, kids – although maybe I should state the obvious more often. I have started praying the Serenity Prayer every morning, but I probably should end my days with an examination of conscience – get the gunk out.

Anyway, I’ll keep this up for a while because I need to change something. I wish I could feel less anxious about everything and more serene. St. Julian of Norwich said this about all that:

“All shall be well, all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well.”

Dear Jesus, I hope so!
