  • Oh Crap – Blog Challenge Fail

    August 16, 2023

    In true Oh Crap fashion, I am down by 5 posts in the Blog Challenge with my son. However, it’s not because I haven’t been writing, oh no. It’s because I’m taking too long crafting them – perfectionism at it’s finest. :P I actually have around 4 blog posts written, but the opening ones I’m working on so they say what I want them to say. I think I’ve revised one of them four times now – well, I’m going to just release it into the wild and let it roll. It’s never going to be exactly what I want and the purpose of this here blog challenge is to write and then post. So, that’s what I’ll do.

    What else have I been up to you ask? Well, it was a really busy week last week. Some of the people I called to be out here for issues haven’t showed up, but a landscaper who really knew what we needed did and he even said that if I hadn’t heard from him by tomorrow I’m to call him and remind him about project number 1. Then they can put me down later to start everything else.

    I had my first dental work done with my new dentist and it was a great experience! Very gently done and he asked how I was doing every step of the way. He also saw two other problems that need to get fixed and he asked me if he could go ahead and do that. Yes, that’s right – he asked permission. My other dentist never did that, I was just expected to do whatever they said no questions asked. I stopped taking that last spring and it ended with me leaving that office. So glad I did. No one needs that kind of stress. Just wish I had done it sooner.

    I had my doctor appointment to get my meds re-upped and it looks like I’ll probably be staying at my old doctor office for a little longer. Unlike my dentist office, I’m not totally ready to make a switch there yet. Everyone is very nice and the nurse I had the other day got talking menopause with me and it was very informative. I also made sure about what vitamins I can take with the doctor and was given the green light on all of them except I need a calcium which at my age is a good idea – don’t need to break a hip. So very happy and need to schedule a physical and start again.

    Today I’m running errands – mostly for fun – but I do have a grocery pick up this afternoon. I know what’s for dinner and I’ll do what housework I can. Tomorrow I can have another slow day like yesterday.

    OK – there’s one post down – only four more to go. Need to check and see what my son is doing on his bloggo and see if he’s down any as well. I’ll be back really soon!

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!
