Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

End of July Report

August 1, 2019

This month actually felt like summer – finally! We had so much rain and storms from May through half of June that summer seemed late in getting started. Luckily things have been calmer…except for that storm a week ago which blew through with 80mph winds and the flood watch we are in for the weekend. Le sigh.

I have been very sad and weepy of late. I’m not sure whether it’s just my ongoing stressed out life, or my changing life situation, or menopause, but it’s time to address it before it gets worse. I mentioned in my last post about books I am going to read, but I am also considering some minor therapy to help me figure some things out. It’s always good to talk to someone who is removed enough from the situation so you can regain perspective. I know the basics of what I need to do but it’s hard when you feel like it’s never going to make a difference.

My husband went on his annual camping trip and my oldest son went along for the ride. It was quiet around here both in the house and in my head. I caught up on things I needed to do as well as did some things I enjoy and never seem to do. I even allowed myself a day or two of not much – I needed that too.

My oldest son has been visiting as mentioned above and so the house has been filling up with siblings eager to visit with him. There was a super secret late birthday party which I managed to pull off without older son knowing as well. Lots of games, food, and laughter. He left today and I miss him already.

My kids and I made a road trip to a neighboring town which we haven’t done since March and it was a lot of fun! I made a Target haul and got a couple of things in Sephora as well. I felt really, really good after a day out.

Oh yeah, the Stitch Fix thing. My posts are late in going up on my fashion issues, but I will say I decided to halt my Stitch Fix boxes. They were more stressful than fun and out of 42 items I’ve only kept 9 which is not a good return. I still need pants desperately so I should address that first, but on my own. Ugh. This is why I was hoping Stitch Fix would work.

And that was my month. August is going to be busy with school starting soon. That means a clothing shopping trip as well as school supplies. What we really need is a weekend shopping trip so we can go to all the places we want to without trying to cram it all in one day. We go out of town because there are far more stores to choose from than where I live. Yes, I’m all about keeping tax dollars here, but when what you have is severely limited you sometimes need to go elsewhere to get what you need.

So, goodbye July and hello August – enjoy what’s left of summer!
