Under the Bus

There have been times as a Stepmom when I have become aware of something I know the kid’s Mother or Father need to know about. I learned to know the difference, when I can hold something to myself and when I can’t.  Basically I use my gut as the barometer.  If it eats at me […]

I don’t understand it.  I am reminded today just how bankrupt our older kids are when it comes to sentimentality.  I have tried to research why this might be the case.  Is it generational?  Is it just incredible self centeredness?  It’s like that part of them forgot to develop. I find it bothersome and it’s […]

The Lord giveth….

    Almost two years ago we lost our nephew of 15 months from unknown causes.  His Mama found him in his crib one morning.  Apparently he had passed during the night sometime.  Inquiries were made, weeks and weeks of agonizing wait time and all they could tell us was that he had died of […]

My little Second Fiddle

The hub

  Last night on a Saturday night, on the kid’s Mother’s weekend, I observed a room full of girls sitting at my kitchen table making over our little boy and having fun with him and I’m thinking…man about the last thing I’d think they would want to do on a Saturday night is this.  They […]
