    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 […]

    Helping my Step-ex and she doesn’t even know it…

    By admin | Published: February 28, 2013

            I make up words sometimes and I was thinking….I have/had Step parents, have step brothers, have been a step daughter, have step children…and when I really think about it, I have a step-ex.  It is a unique relationship for sure, but a relationship none the less.  Like any other relationship it […]

    Save the last dance…for anyone else but me!

    By admin | Published: February 24, 2013

        Winter formal Junior year.  It started slowly as it usually does. We had several months to prepare and of course it started with the who. Oldest twin lined up something with a friend of hers on the basketball team.  She says he’s not her boyfriend, she says she’s not “interviewing” him, we shall […]

    Two Degrees of Separation

    By admin | Published: February 22, 2013

      As you know, we have twin teenaged girls.  I don’t know how much you can glean from this piece if you don’t have them.  Perhaps you can understand if you just have two daughters who are close in age.  I am going to talk about the difficulty our daughters are having as they try […]

    The Power of No!!!

    By admin | Published: February 21, 2013

        I don’t have much recall of our son asking permission to do things till he began driving and seeing girls; no sleep overs, only a rare guest over, didn’t ask for anything much. Anyway not much practice at telling him No.  I think the one or two times we had an opportunity to […]
