    Zip the tude sister!

    By admin | Published: May 1, 2013

    Something happened today that moved me to write this. I stand in awe, and nogothenburg good kind, at the lack of respect our girls give their father parents at times. I”m not talking about just the not listening part of that but the down right insolent behavior part.  I don’t get it from them myself […]

    a policeman at the door is probably not good….

    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 […]

    Hating the library, loving my daughter!

    By admin | Published: April 12, 2013

      This is another thing I thought I had written about already, but apparently I didn’t.  This started out innocently enough, but ended up being a story I like to share because it made me so proud of my daughter and at the same time, it validated me.   Our daughter, the one who actually […]

    Well at least two of us are excited…

    By admin | Published: April 9, 2013

    What a disaster… Aside from being a lesson in how maybe not to tell your Steps you are expecting an addition to your family, this is as much about just how hurtful your Step kids can be. I really thought I had written this post, in order…after we got married and all…but I looked and […]

    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.  […]

    I want a wife!!!!!!

    By admin | Published: March 9, 2013

        Of all the articles I have written so far, this one most any married woman can relate to most especially if she has kids. Don’t get me wrong, I love the life we have created and our little family and I don’t mean to imply by any means that my husband doesn’t contribute.  […]

    You are what you Eat!

    By admin | Published: March 8, 2013

    Good lord..  I don’t know who is responsible for cleaning the refrigerator in your home, but no doubt it is you, the primary care giver who takes this on.  You go along day to day and don’t think about it.  Maybe once in a while you see something and shove it to the back of […]

    I let go first!

    By admin | Published: March 4, 2013

    As I’ve said before to you, our eldest was 14 when I came along,  all throughout our years together I can’t say he’s never disappointed me, or made me angry.  I also can’t say I’ve always understood him or some of the things he does or doesn’t do.  We have however, pretty much always gotten […]
