Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

The month that was October

November 3, 2019

So, last month was kind of crazy in some ways and fairly normal in others. Let’s start with the weather. Summer (temps in the 90s) hung on until the first week of October. Several cold fronts and tornadoes later, winter decided to make an entrance even though it’s only early fall. The trees are barely colorful and between the overheated September and too cold October, I think the leaves will all just turn brown and fall off. :-( The foliage and cool weather make fall one of my favorite times of year, but this year? Not so much.

I stocked up a lot on food and last week I had to have a stay out of the stores and eat from the pantry challenge. It wasn’t hard to do and it felt good to not shop as much. I am having a crisis of meals so I ordered a cookbook and will start cooking out of it. I won’t have to think about what to eat because it will all be done for me. It’s also got some vegetarian options and I’d like to get more into that as well.

I made a few mini Sephora hauls both in store and online and am using only my Fresh products until they run out. I tried a few foundation samples but still haven’t found one I really like. That said, I am kind of trying out Cover Girl ones and there’s a couple that are pretty good. So, may stick with those for awhile.

One of my kiddos broke their glasses so I made appointments for the eye doc for everyone. Well, almost everyone, but that’s a story for another day.

I still mourn not homeschooling, but I’m keeping the higher level books until everyone graduates from public school. Because you never know.

I am doing the Christmas Countdown again this year. I realized today that I don’t take a month to do it, I really take two. That’s not a bad idea though because the holidays take a lot of planning and doing.

I spent a good portion of the month crying. There is so much going on in my life and I’m overwhelmed by it all. Life is changing so fast, there are so many things that need to be done around the house, and I’m supposed to be making self-care a priority. How to do it all? I cry. I’m hoping that in January I can have a hibernate month and regain some inner calm.

So, that was my month. I’ll have a books post soon because I read 3 gems last month. They all went together with the prayer theme as well. Very Providential how that all worked out.

Well, here’s to the approaching holidays and making decisions and getting things done. Cheers!
