Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Me and My Blog

August 1, 2018

I’m back from my break and my blog will be celebrating its 8th anniversary soon, so I thought today I’d kind of re-introduce myself and my blog.

First, a little about me. My name is Alice and I am 55 years old. I have been married 33 years and have 8 children – 5 boys and 3 girls. Four of those children are out on their own, and four are still living at home (teens). Currently I am a SAHM but, since my husband lost his job last year, I will be moving to a working mom status within the next year. I started homeschooling in 1994 and last month the door on that little school closed. It was a good 24 years.

I have known good times and bad times and I finally realized that the Universal Thump comes for all of us (some of us more than others). I thought we’d be complete with our restoration after paying off our debts in 2011, but it’s ongoing – problems keep cropping up and nothing ever gets restored to the original. I may have to accept that it will never be.

My blog was born 8 years ago out of a desire to 1) write, and 2) share my life with family and friends who live far away. I also thought I might have some things to say that might be helpful to others and it also serves as a diary of sorts for me. I named it “Oh Crap” because having 8 children is a messy thing and for a while it seemed like every day something (bad) happened which prompted me to say “Oh crap” yet again. So, it’s just a life journal with some helpful (I hope) tips, things to ponder, and a little bit of fluff thrown in for good measure.

I link to things I think might interest my readers, but I do not get any money from any of this linkage – it’s purely informational. I do not get any money at all from this blog, nor do I really want to. I really miss those early days when blogs were ways for (homeschooling) moms to share experience and commiserate with each other like a good friend would. I want to reclaim some of that with my blog.

So, that’s a little bit about me and this tiny corner of the internet. I hope you enjoy your visits here. I’m going to start tagging my posts as well to make subjects easier for you to find. In the meantime, have a look around, come back soon, and thank you for reading. :-)
