This is what it is like being a step parent for me, " I am not trying to replace anyone, I'm pretty awesome already". Proud step parent. Stay safe (please) and have a good weekend.

I don't come on here very much. But that doesn't mean I can't relate to living or having a step child. If that is you, you have my full support. Wow, step children are a different kind of child. Let's face it they didn't come from us. So I have decided to have a new child of my own. A DOG. Although she didn't come from me just my heart. If you know what I mean. I just need a loyal friend. LOL So not sure of a name.But it will be a female. Getting close to picking her up. Not sure if she will be a golden lab or retriever, Although I might pick a different breed.

So my son is getting married this month. I am happy but stressed as well. My ex will be there with his wife. I have met her once. Really that is not my stress level. I have had a few hard years and frankly they have taken a toll on me. But I want to enjoy the day. I try everyday to live in the moment. But this event has me thinking I may not be able to me myself. I will be seeing old family members from decades ago. I am okay with that but I know it will be hard. My ex husbands family has been nothing but kind to me. A true blessing.

I need to vent. A long story short. Yesterday I ask two people to fix something that needed to get fixed. Well both of them didn't do what I wanted them to do. ( I understand people get busy or just plain forget). So today I tell the woman that she didn't do what I ask her to do. Well right away she says, oh I am so sorry I just got busy and I will get right on it. I said thanks and walked away. All is well I know she will fix it. So then I go over to the guy. I tell him the problem I asked him to fix yesterday was not done.
