My experiences as a Step Mother

18….its just a Numba!

I think I have mentioned before that our girls have turned 18. That happened in January and it’s April…I’m already over it!  I think if I hear just one more time “I AM 18!” I’m going to have a conniption. I mean I’m not so old that I have forgotten how cool that feels. Actually […]

Pettycoat junction!!!

        I’m sitting here tonight upset.  I’m not even fully sure why I’m  upset.  But I think it has to do with pettiness.  I’m pretty sure it’s pettiness.  It’s either that or being less than truthful…sort of two faced if you will.  It’s either those things or it’s irresponsibility.  I’m not sure.  […]

Connecting the Dots

  This morning as I was backing out of the garage taking our little one to daycare, my husband waves and then tells me to look out because Jane (made up name) is behind me. One of our daughters has a medical appointment this morning and her Mother has come to take her to it. […]

R E S P E C T….

        R E S P E C T   As Aretha says…find out what it means to me!  A few days ago one of our girls asked to borrow the sweater she got me for Christmas. She’s trying to branch out, wear things more dressy to school which for this daughter is […]

What to do?

    What to do…..what to do…   I remember when I was in High School…trying to figure out what I wanted to be….what I wanted to do with my life. First let me say that in my birth family I never remember there being any discussion about whether or not I was going to […]

Petty ain’t Pretty

Never say never…..

      And that was the last time…. I no longer shop with my daughters when they are both on a mission to acquire something. I did so many times in years past and the last time I did, I just plain put my foot down, said no more and I’ve stuck to it….that’s […]

It ain’t a duck yet

      If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck but it won’t swim, it ain’t a duck yet.   I had another brief discussion this morning with one of our daughters about acting as you want to be treated.  I have told all three of the older kids at […]
