Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

In this blog I'll be covering as wide a variety of subjects as the duties of a real mom in today's culture.


From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

No holding back.

Where's Creatress!?

I've been a little MIA this week. Sorry about that. My grandparents are down from Oregon and my son and I have been spending the whole week at my aunt’s house with them. We've been putting in some quality shopping, cleaning and cooking. Today is our yearly family get-together and we're leaving for that really soon.

We'll be back home tomorrow and I promise a juicy blog then. You're all in my minds! Not blogging this week has been pretty painful actually. Does that make me a narcissist?

In the meantime... here are a few highlights of my week...

Telling my teenage son if he doesn't come down off the video games to spend "quality" family time I'd take him back home.

My grandmother was telling us a story about how much TV my grandpa watches at home. She said "He sits in his chair with that thing (remote) in his hand so much that I finally told him... ONE DAY... THAT THING IS JUST GOING TO GO OFF ALL OVER YOUR LAP!" Before I knew what I was doing I blurted out... "That's what she said." I blame the TV show The Office. My aunt and son laughed so hard they cried. Nana was just really confused and didn't get it (thank God!)

Got a cool wine decanter for $7.99 at Marshals (love bargain hunting) and a great shoes for $9 (that I'm wearing to the party today).

Made chicken BBQ kabobs for the whole family and they actually loved them! YAY! (My grandparents can be really picky eaters.)

Tried to watch the movie Cloverfield. My son saw it and loved it, so I bought it for him for us all to watch together. 15 Minutes into it and my aunt has a migraine and I'm actually so motion sick... I threw up. The whole movie is filmed on a video camera with people running and being chased. To say its jerky is the understatement of the year. Add onto that my Aunt's massive plasma TV and well... dinner didn't stay down. First time that's ever happened to me. We turned it off and watched the Lost Boys instead.

I hope you're all having a great week. I'll try and catch up with the site tomorrow!
Signing off for now.. ~Creatress

Hey, the Lost Boys are cool! Good choice.

We've missed you, but I'm glad you've had a good time. I'll be excited to hear all about your recent adventures.

LOL! Has there been a lot of SPAM? Ugh, I hate that. They leave tomorrow, but I'm back home today. I miss you too! Trust me... chatting here is more fun than taking my grandmother bra shopping. Hehehe.
