So it's the night before the "vacation" that I don't want to go on. I am so anxious and nervous about going. I get so anxious and high blood pressure when the skids are around anyways that I feel like I'm going to have a heartack being in a place that's out of my element and having to deal with them ALL WEEK LONG!
So today I had a very successful day at work. It was so wonderful (I adore my job). To top it all off, DH was wonderful. He'd had the day off & stayed home because he'd said he wanted a day with just him & BS1. I should've known that after breakfast in the morning he'd be shamed & guilted by MIL into getting them. She's always doing this to us & to be honest, I only complain because a part of me feels like a bad person for fighting stepmotherhood so much. I wish I could just welcome them unconditionally into my home...but I can't & mostly I'm ok with that.
I just wanted to introduce myself, I am MrsJanet, I have 2 children- son 17 and dtr 13. I was recently married in April to my DH and his 6 yr old son. So we are a blended family. DH has full custody of his son.
My kids are fine, SS is a brat. I have been in his life since he was 3. As he gets older, spends more time with his BM, the meaner he is to me. Which is to be expected, she (BM) is EVIL.... We are in the process of court, 4th continuance cuz BM is noncomplient. But yet she deserves the SS???? Whatever....
thanks to all those who read my blog. your advice is helping me keep my sanity. things are not prefect but at least everyone is getting along for now. i hope it gets better.thanks.
oh and one more thing, if you ask you ask your dh what is his number one priority, what should he say?
Hey ladies and guys,
I made up this shirt to put in my Zazzle shop. I thought you might get a laugh out of it - I had fun making it but need some other stepmother and stepfather ideas. Can you tell I'm bored at work? Help!

I really think it's happened somehow. Most of you know SD (17) came to live with us last year. That has worked out really well considering the older boyfriend thing and the noise at night they were making. Those issues have been dealt with. So she's with her dad and I now. That makes me a mom figure to her - somewhat.
Okay one more insanity thing....
Okay so I'm kidding about that but BM makes me so crazy sometimes that I revert to middle school thinking when a crazy goth chick got in my face and I woke up with her on the floor and her hair in my hands. Normally her psycho antics make me roll my eyes but when you start talking sh@t about BD 6 weeks I will get crazy. This morning started off fine enough. We have skids EOWE and 5 weeks in the summer from which she is CO'd to do the 2 hour drive to pick them up.
Ok, So my DH and I have my SS's for 6 weeks in the summer with them visiting their BM EOWE. We picked them up last Friday for the holiday (See Road Trip) and are almost through the first week. 2 weeks ago, I make up a chore list for the boys. It comes down to we clean a room every evening M-Th, Fri, Sat, Sun off. They do dishes every night. I even made up little cards for each room stating everything that needed to be done in order to clean a room. Very detailed. I gave these to DH 2 weeks ago to review and asked for his imput. Was it too much?
So a few months ago, during mediation, my husband & BM decided to split up the summer. We have SD8 for 4 weeks in July, BM has her for 4 weeks in August. I wasn't too thrilled about this arrangement, but my husband assured me that it would work out.
