    By admin | Published: April 26, 2013

      I’m sitting at the kitchen table one Sunday morning with our little one.  He’s eating breakfast and watching one of his favorite programs, I am drinking a cup of coffee and working on my iPad…hadn’t brushed my hair, was in my pjs…..looking great I’m sure.  When the doorbell rings.  Well whenever that happens, our […]

    They have wings……

    By admin | Published: April 17, 2013

      Our daughters now have full fledged drivers licenses.   No more restrictions, they are good to go.  Though we have provided for many if not most of the girls’ needs over these many years, we have yet to purchase them a car.  Right now, until we sell our old house, we just can’t swing […]

    The dresses keep getting shorter and the boy friends get crazier

    By admin | Published: April 8, 2013

      I’m not certain exactly when the hem lines on the girls’ dresses started to get shorter.  I think it was Junior High though. I can remember as the girls started to go to dances, the first dresses they started out wearing had to meet Dad’s approval and I can hear him in my mind…too […]

    Step Moms have feelings too

    By admin | Published: April 1, 2013

        You know, there are many thankless jobs for certain.  I don’t really in my heart of hearts believe that the job of a Step Mother is completely thankless, but at times it seems so. I’m sure biological Mothers get their feelings hurt too but I think Step Mothers probably a bit more so.  […]
