Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

In Review

August 10, 2021

It was a busy and painful week last week. I ended up at the dentist office on Wednesday with a very hurty tooth and on Friday my two crappy teeth were taken out. I spent the weekend recuperating so the usual Library and Tea Party on Saturday was out and my long awaited Mom’s Day Out on Sunday as well. On the other hand I’ve lost 2 pounds since Friday because I can only eat mushy or liquid foods. Not sure if that’s really a thing to celebrate but I’ll take it.

On the other hand I made a lot of calls to try to get back on track with the house problems. Still waiting on getting the tree work done and not happy about that because it’s been a month and there are two major things that still need doing. It was a two day job and it’s taken over a month. UGH.

On the brighter side, I ordered several books from Thrift Books and so there were a lot of lovely packages rolling in. I also ordered some very basic clothing pieces from LL Bean. Not sure if I’d order from there again (they charge you $6.50 for returns unless you have their credit card) but I do like the clothes so we’ll see. Still trying for that capsule wardrobe.

Yesterday my daughters and I made a quick library trip and had the tea party anyway since the oldest one was off work. Also went to Ulta and bought a few things using my racked up points – at least I got that in (that was part of the Mom’s Day Out plan).

Today I’m feeling much better and will try to get some of the nagging housework things done. We’re also gearing up for back to school here and so my girls need to get their stuff ready for that. We bought all the school supplies last month on a very low key early morning when no one was in the store, so the girls just need to get everything ready to go. It is my twins’ senior year and it’s hard to believe that just like that *snaps fingers* we’re winding up this chapter in their lives. I didn’t think I’d make it through the we’re not homeschooling anymore years, but I did and it’s turned out to be mostly a very good thing for the kiddos. Can’t say I love the school and it’s politics but academically it’s not been bad.

Oh, I almost forgot! I actually made a one month meal plan at the beginning of August! And – drum roll please – I have been sticking with it! I’m proud of myself on this one and it makes every day so much easier knowing what we’re having for dinner. Now, the plan is, starting in September, to cook out of Nigella Lawson’s books and I think I’ll start with “Kitchen”. I’ve been watching the videos and most of the meals are quick and easy and look very good. It’s a long overdue dream of mine and it’s going to become reality.

Well, I’d better get rolling for the day as there’s plenty to do per usual. Have a great day everyone! Pax Christi.
