    The Slippery Slope of StepMomdom

    By admin | Published: February 20, 2013

    I made that word up of course, StepMomdom. It is one way to refer to your existence after you marry a man with children. It is at once familiar and unfamiliar, fun and frustrating, rewarding and daunting, yet if you play your cards right with a little luck and a lot of effort, it can […]

    Family what’s important Day after Christmas and I got a call this morning that one of my three first cousins, the one next to me in age so the one I knew the longest and I guess was closest to, passed away from a massive heart attack at the age of 51, one year younger […]

    Things that make me crazy!!!!

    By admin | Published: February 9, 2013

    This will be a free flowing, run-on randomly ordered narrative of things my Step kids do that make me crazy.  It will hopefully be something you can identify with, at least in part, and maybe it will be entertaining at the same time. Selective hearing.  I fail to see how the same children who do […]

    Children Truly are God’s gift

    By admin | Published: January 31, 2013

    Kids are truly Gods gift I sit here tonight after having listened to the prayer vigil for those poor people in Connecticut and I am moved to turn from the sarcastic to the reverent.  My heart breaks for those little babies and for their families.  While most of my posts highlight the edgy and amusing […]

    The art of Deception

    By admin | Published: January 28, 2013

      The art of deception   I know that there are dishonest men in the world and before they were men they were probably dishonest boys.  I remember with our oldest son, maybe a time or two when he was less than truthful.  The rest of the time, he may have been unpleasant but at […]

    Don’t they call this the Cha Cha?

    By admin | Published: January 20, 2013

    As a reminder we have twins, girls of a divorce who have shuffled back and forth from their Mother’s house to the Father’s house for years.  I had to grow up the same way. I believe our arrangement was easier. We spent all week with my Dad and every weekend with my Mom. Then all […]

    The team Dinner

    By admin | Published: December 9, 2012

    One day I was approached by my husband and he said innocently enough  “I volunteered us for hosting a team dinner”. I just looked at him and said, oh ok, what does that mean for us?  I had provided dishes for team dinners in the past but had never hosted one.  He said that hardly […]

    Boyfriends and the six inch rule

    By admin | Published: December 9, 2012

    Once our girls hit I’d say 14, they became interested in boys in a different way than they had been before.  Understandable, it was time.  Though ever since I’d known them, their Dad had told them they would not do anything with boys till they turned 25, we all knew the time was coming a […]

    What happened to propriety?

    By admin | Published: December 6, 2012

    I have mentioned in a couple of posts that my husband has rules when it comes to the children, and THAT he does.  They aren’t always taken seriously by them or followed and I think he gives a lot of latitude to them before he cracks his whip.  When he cracks it, he cracks it […]
