Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Hibernation Update

January 27, 2019

As my hibernating month comes to a close (during one of the coldest weeks of the season – ha!) I thought I’d let you know how it went.

First of all, I couldn’t read any self help books. Every time I started one I’d feel all agitated and uneasy, so I just decided not to read any for the month.  I think I’ve read too many and I’ve reached my limit. It’s time I made my own choices and decided what is best for me and how I’m living my life.

I’ve also kind of not bought much this month either – stuck to using my beauty stash and tossing out what didn’t work. That said, I did make a small Sephora purchase yesterday because I needed to get my birthday gift and also they had a trial size of a new Fresh moisturizer I couldn’t resist. Both of those have turned out well. I really need some new foundation but I’ll use what I have first. Then I might actually go to Ulta or Sephora and get some help with that.

Because of the house problems we had and the amount of strangers filing through my house, I decided I really needed to step up my household routines once and for all. I have decluttered a bunch of stuff and realized I need to do detailed cleaning and that I should have been doing it for awhile. Oh well – better late than never.

The one thing that stands out starkly is the fact that I need to do something with my time. Three kids are in school and one is working so I’ve got a lot more free time than I’m used to having. While I’m enjoying my down time I’m also bored. That means it’s time to do something like that DIY college plan I’ve thought about for the last 3 years. Or maybe look into actual daytime classes. Or work towards getting a job.  Doors are starting to open and while it is scary, it’s exciting too.

So, it’s been a nice bit of downtime but I’m ready to crawl out of the cave and move forward. Because you know the past is over and we’re not moving in that direction or at least we shouldn’t be. I tend to do that, but it’s time to stop. I need to accept what’s over and done with and move on. Maybe I stay stuck because I’m scared of the future, but I won’t know what lays ahead unless I go there. All I know is that time has marched on without me in some way and I’m feeling a little left behind.  It’s time for a change whether small or large.
