Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

A Kind Of Slow Monday

May 7, 2018

This last weekend was a doozy! Well, I think it started last week really – stuff not really going well (i.e. breaking) and me on edge. So, I decided to have a slow Monday. Okay, not so slow. I’ve done kitchen clean up, laundry, paid a couple bills, and figured out tonight’s dinner – normal stuff. But, I’ve also had coffee and read one of my Real Simple magazines that I recently got online (I’m collecting the older issues). Now, time for some writing on the blog and possibly a nap before I go pick my daughter up from school.

I ordered a book on self-care last night because, frankly, I just can’t keep going on the way I have. It’s called “From Coping to Thriving” by Hannah Braime and it looks very good. Goes over just about everything on self-care to get you started and how to keep the momentum. It’s supposed to be here Wednesday and I can’t wait to read it. Like therapy only cheaper. The main thing is – I have to DO something. I can read all the books I want, make pages of habit trackers, but unless I put it all into practice, nothing will happen. That’s a given. It also goes back to that do one thing post, I had awhile ago as well. The one thing I need to do right now is take care of me.

In that vein I decided to climb off the social media merry go round for awhile. I unsubscribed to a lot of stuff and my life is quieter without all that background noise.

Speaking of blog posts, I am planning to do one this week on the Deal-A-Meal poster that I made in 2011. A reader wants to know about the cards so that’s going to be the highlight of said post. So stay tuned for that.

Okay, off to relax some more on this beautiful day. Hope your day is good too.

Holy crap, I remember Deal-A-Meal. I also remember that old Richard Simmons cooking show that we used to watch at 1p CT on USA... good times.

I loved his show - good times indeed! That was also back in the day when there were actually good shows to watch on tv. Not so good times anymore. Now that I've got a record player again I need to find his "Reach" album on ebay. They had one at Hastings years ago for 99 cents and did not get it. Le sigh.
