Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Summer and September Wrap Up

September 25, 2023

Wow – this month zipped by and here we are at the end of it and also at the end of all my good intentions per usual. So, how did the month go? Well, let’s see….

Weather – Finally cooled down for a lot of the month! We had an opportunity for some rain and storms over the weekend, but ended up with neither. On the one hand I’m glad we didn’t see any severe weather. On the other hand, a little more rain in areas that are hurting would have been nice. I’ve finally noticed leaves are changing colors and our lawns have some leaves in them already. And, of course, daylight is leaving us sooner – not a fan. It means the darker and colder days are ahead but I hope it’s not for awhile.

Beauty – I used the same products for most of this month, but some have now run out and some just didn’t cut it so I’m taking out and adding in at the moment. I also cut down my makeup products to what I wanted to use the last two weeks of September and I am actually loving that. Keeping my products simple and what I enjoy using keeps my decision fatigue at bay. I get ready quickly and move on to the next thing in my day.

Reading – Have read a few books over the summer and really need to update that too. What I really should be doing is making a list of all the books I’ve bought versus all the books I’ve read. Ahem – guess which list is longer. :P For spiritual reading it’s just the New Testament, a commentary, and then a prayer journal on days I need to be more focused.

No Buy September – That went right out the window when I took one of my daughters shopping on her day out. I have kept some of the spending in check by thinking before I shop though. I’ve got a full pantry, fridge, and freezer now and a list of 30 meals I can make with everything so at least there was that. Maybe in the winter when it’s too cold to go out I’ll try this again. :D

SNEW – Okay, this is one area where I’m making some headway. I’ve written in my planner every day what I want to accomplish health-wise. All I did was write these things down with check boxes next to them and guess what? For the most part I’m doing okay. Some days are better than others but I get more in than I used to. I’m also weighing myself once a week again and making a goal. Go me!

House – Nothing I wanted to get done got done because I can’t get anyone to actually do anything. We had an AC hiccup and after waiting 10 days for one guy to get back to me I called someone else and they came right out and fixed the issue. Hopefully I can count on these guys.

Health – I’m done with all my fillings (again) and it feels a whole lot better in there! He even fixed the previous fillings my other dentist messed up and my bite on the right side feels better now. So glad I switched dentists but wish I hadn’t waited (and suffered) so long.

I think that covers everything. I’ve had ups and downs but overall feeling okay. Today after my dental appointment I just did nothing. My husband had the dishes covered, kids did their own laundry, and dinner was simple so I let myself have downtime. It was exactly what I needed. Tomorrow I’ll get back into my routines and begin again.

I am not making any promises but will try to adjust some of my posts-in-waiting because there’s some good stuff in there but some things have changed (like my beauty posts) so will work on those and get those out here. In the meantime Happy Fall everyone and I’ll see you soon!
