  • Small Update – Mid April 2024

    April 18, 2024

    So yeah, it’s been awhile since I posted but…eh…no excuses. I just haven’t done it. No reason – just haven’t done it. Let’s change that right now with a short update on my life since March 2.

    No major issues going on and things are going fairly well (knock on wood). My skincare routine got upended so I’m going to order two new things tonight and get back on track. At least I know the four products I need to use daily to have a base to work from.

    I haven’t lost any weight, but I dusted off my Food Mover (Richard Simmons) and plan to start tracking again. Of course I need to not just plan but actually do it but planning is a step in the right direction. I’m even watching old videos of his for motivation and get me moving again.

    The weather has been gorgeous – even almost summer like lately – but today we’re going back to fall for a few days and I have to say it’s a refreshing change. It reminds me of springs in London (England) when I lived there in my much younger days with my family.

    My grandson is almost a year old and will be visiting me at the end of next month – now that is something I’m really looking forward to! Even though he’s not a baby anymore and not as easy to cuddle, I plan to read to him. I’m hoping he’ll be open to letting me do that.

    I’m reading the Gospels for my spiritual reading and reading books on the third part of the Catholic Catechism – Life in Christ – to go with. Easter season is a good time for that. As far as regular reading – not much lately. Just reading bits and pieces here and there as I choose.

    I’m watching the Waltons for the first time in a really long time. I’ve forgotten how good they are and it makes me feel a little closer to my mom – we would watch the show every week together. It was one thing we had in common.

    I found two great cd’s (used) and have added them to my collection. One was rock classics and the other soft rock classics. Loving them both and so are my kiddos.

    Well the oven timer went off so it’s time to eat but I just wanted to take a few minutes to say I’m still here and hopefully I’ll write a little every day. Maybe even just a paragraph on nothing in particular. At least it’s something. Peace to all.

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!
