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.

Hey Bandwagon! Wait Up!

Being a busy mom, I feel like the bandwagon of pop culture is often a few miles ahead of me. Case in point, I FINALLY got to watch A Beautiful Mind yesterday. Yes, I know it won an Oscar. Yes, I have been told by many people how good it is… I just never had the time to watch it. I’m guessing that’s pretty common for most moms. In fact, it’s rare anymore that I’ve even seen even one Oscar nominated movie when that time of year rolls around. Maybe that’s why I quit watching the Oscars altogether and just buy the issue of People with the beautiful outfits to flip through while on the porcelain throne?! I’m hoping I’m not alone here…

 

A Beautiful Mind was wonderful. I must say it was even better that I got to watch it in the middle of the day, in bed, alone (with my cold). I’ll most likely have to wait till the next time I’m stricken with kiddie goo to watch No Country for Old Men or Million Dollar Baby. When was the last time you felt in the “now”?

I feel our "now" is in the "now" and  we choose what to put in to our "now".   Just like.. "no matter where you go there you are."  or,  "you're where the party is."  

You don't drink he wine right after it's bottled....You age it to perfection.  Then, consume it.  It's better tasting.  Only the best things stand the test of time.  

Hope your cold gets better soon...:( Hope you have your three T's....Tea w/honey, Toast, Tylonal. :)

Paul and I recently saw No Country for Old Men. We watched it in bed during our playing hooky day. It was confusing. Especially the end. We decided that when we do get those moments to be in the know, we should pick things that aren't so cerebral. So, we spent the afternoon at Tropic Thunder. ;-)

That's a good motto MamaSeaShell. Sadly my week is too busy for much rest (other than the movie yesterday). Maybe that's why I'm not better yet? Typical.

AmandaS, you aren't selling me on No Country for Old Men (I remember you saying it was confusing). Maybe post-op some day? Hahaha.
