  • Hibernate – Week 2

    January 13, 2020

    So here I am at the beginning of the second full week of January and thinking this hibernate idea this month wasn’t the best. There’s been too many things going on for me to even think about it. That’s not a bad thing necessarily because some things needed to get done now and I also had a son visit from the west coast and we haven’t seen him in a year. That’s more important.

    I have been doing a lot of thinking though and I’m getting ready to do some planning. I’m going to make a list of everything I need to get done this year and things I’d like to do/start this year. You can’t do it all but there are things that really have to get done. The other stuff I can fit in when I can, but I need to fit at least one want in each month.

    Also – a menu plan for the month. And I mean ALL meals every day. If I want to get healthy than this is my first step. I’m not talking about elaborate calorie counting stuff – just getting meals on the table. And as in a previous post – I need to be sitting at the table eating and eating decent meals. After I make the menu plan, then I can go to the store and load up on what we need and make at least that part of my day go smoother.

    Those are the two things I need to get done by Wednesday. The only other must do this week is to buy pants. I have some birthday coupons to use so it’s a good time. And I’m going to ask for help rather than try to go through racks myself to try to find what I need when the ladies working in these stores know what they’ve got and where to find it.

    I still need to fit some downtime in each day too. I’d like to start watching My So Called Life again and may just do that each afternoon when I have the time – watch an episode at the same time each day. Like I would when it was on originally. This way I’m more likely to keep that time open.

    Oh and that quiet thing? Yeah – not so much. I need to work on that more this week. I just really need to listen more and think about what I want to say before getting all reactive. A few things got pointed out to me over the weekend so I’m going to try to do better.

    Anywho – that’s how things stand today. Now it’s off to bed to try to get back to sleep. Yeah – that half cup of coffee I had last night wasn’t the best idea. I am learning things like having 1 cup of regular coffee and 1 cup of decaf in the morning and nothing the rest of the day helps you sleep better. Yeah.

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!
