Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

A Good Day VS A Meh Day

August 25, 2023

Here’s the post I wrote for yesterday – a very good day:

I began my day at 5:30am and had breakfast, my prayer time, shower, etc. At 8am I started the dishes and had them done in 30 minutes – thankfully I had my husband do them Saturday, Sunday, and Monday so it hasn’t gotten away from me. After that I started the laundry – towels – and will continue until those are done including folding and putting away. Trust me – you need need to do the whole routine every day you do laundry or you’ll never get caught up. Ask me how I know.

I took a kiddo to work and I was going to do some window shopping and I thought, nah, I’ll just go home and do some stuff there. So I made a cup of coffee and decided to do a brain dump with all the notes I’ve got in my planner and laying around in general. Next week I need to conquer procrastination and get the things done on those lists – especially the things that have to get done next week. I need to get strong and just get shit done. (Hmm – seems like I’ve talked about that before.)

This afternoon two of my daughters and I will go to the library and after that we’ll have tea and cookies while perusing our library finds. Always a good time and we often read stuff aloud that we find worthy of sharing. It’s a ritual that goes back quite a few years and we never miss it unless it’s bad weather or around the holidays. A long time ago I stopped going to the library in December because it was just another thing to do in the midst of a lot of holiday prep. You can only do so much.

I know what’s for dinner tonight too – chicken legs with an Asian sauce, rice, broccoli and fruit. I still need to plug in next week’s menu plan today or tomorrow but I do have a list of meals so that’s fairly easy. I’ll “shop” my pantry and freezer first, then buy only what we need. I’ve been going to the stores too much lately and need to rein that in. I am starting to stock up on a few things as well as we are approaching the fall and winter months which bring sketchy weather and the holidays. Having food in the freezer is like having money in the bank.

So, I’m enjoying this surge of energy I’ve been given today and use it to it’s advantage. Maybe I’ll have another good night’s sleep and have another good day tomorrow. It helps that cooler weather is on the way and a possible Target Tuesday next week as well – both things to look forward to.

Now let’s look at the meh that is today:

Got up later than yesterday. Waited through all the showers and then got me ready for the day. Dishes still need to get done but it’s not a lot so I’ll wait until later.

It’s later and I got finished taking a kid to work in a very hot car. No amount of air conditioning helped until I was almost home. Soon I’ll need to take another kiddo to work in the same hot car. Bleh. After that I’ll toss food on the table and call it dinner – it’s real name is “leftovers”. Maybe I’ll get some “Lottery Dream Home” in later today or read another chapter of “The Wilder Life” with a side of tissues (more on that another day).

I just feel tired today and I think a lot of it is the heat. Once you get in and out of a car that’s like an oven it takes everything out of you. So, I’m gonna ice my coffee down and put my feet up and then I’ll do those dishes right before dinner.

Fridays be like that though – I’m tired from everything I crammed into the week and I just want to rest. No rest for this weary mom though. Calgon take me away! As if….
