» Quick Update » Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

  • Quick Update

    November 7, 2017

    OMG – it’s been two months since I last posted??  For some reason I thought I’d written something in September.  Oh yeah, I’ve actually been writing posts but not posting them.  Big difference.

    What I’m Doing (Dear Lord, yes, one of those memes): Trying not to cry because it’s cold and cloudy and has been for the last four days.  This reminds me that I need to not only get vitamin D for the winter, but commit to some kind of exercise/walking/movement daily.

    I’m also doing a little Christmas prep each day and holding on like hell to my routines.  With school and holidays this is the time where I’m likely to fall off.

    What I’m Reading: I gave up on “Read Your Way To Heaven” because the books were taxing my brain.  Luckily, I found a book at the library that I’ve been wanting to read for awhile, “Resisting Happiness” by Matthew Kelly.  It’s a small book and easy to read but with plenty to ponder.

    What I’m Watching:  I didn’t exactly finish all four seasons of “thirtysomething” but I came close.  That last season is a doozy.  This week I’ve watched “Shopgirl” and tonight I’m going to watch “Home For the Holidays”.  I look forward to watching that one every year and I never fail to pick up something that I’m missed before.

    What I’m Eating and Drinking:  I’m going to go on a mini booze run tomorrow to refill my Momma’s Little Helper box. :-)  Also the Peppermint Mochas are back at Starbucks and hopefully the Cranberry Bliss Bars will follow.  Mmmm – a tall flat white and a cranberry bar – that’s one of my happy places.

    Where I’m Shopping:  Our town finally is getting some new places to go and unfortunately two of them are proving to be addicting: Ulta (duh) and TJ Maxx.  I didn’t think I’d love Maxx as much as I do…but I do.  Lots of beauty products I love and use at really good prices.  I also found a goody for my bedroom that I think I’m going to go ahead and get and call it a Xmas or birthday present. :-D

    So, that’s a few points of interest in my glamorous life.  Really, I’m just trying to keep going after so much stress this year.  I know I can do it,  I just have to get my tools in place and learn to slow down a little.  Maybe I’ll add writing more to that list – it’s something I definitely love.

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!
