Yesterday ss got his yearbook at school. Ss of course was one of the only kids if not the only one that had to get two yearbooks because Bm had to have one too. I feel bad for ss always having to be different from all of the other kids. I know that there are a lot of kids who come from divorced homes but no one else had two yearbooks.
The only solution that I can think of is for us to not order one. Then I thought to myself, "but ss lives here. This is his permanent residence so why shouldn't he get to keep a yearbook here?"
I am such a sensitive person and so I have decided to no longer put up my "personal life" for others to see. That is sad to me because I joined this site quite some time ago and I have felt that I have been able to provide great feedback and advice to others here and never imagined that I would feel bad for doing or saying some of the things that I thought we all go through until today.
I have been super down anyway with the move and all and feeling like I am loosing me but I did think that I still had this site for my "sanity" if you will.
Work is going fine. I'm still looking for a local job. I didn't have to work today so DH and I have been to a dozen places putting in applications.
DH is not liking being mister mom. He's grumpy most of the time and still tries to say how horrible I am with the kids. I remind him that he's the same way. He just doen't see it.
Looking for opinions and/or advice please. My DH's divorce states that he is responsible for 80% of the above and BM 20%. They have been divorced since 2003 and this order has never been enforced. My hubby has always picked up the full cost of uninsured medical expenses (he says he was waiting until she got on her feet after the divorce - hmm-mmmm - apparently driving a flashy car, vacationing 2/3 times a year, shopping extravagantly and paying nothing for the upkeep of your children is not a sign that one is on one's feet - I digress - grrrrrr) and insured is provided by him also.
Saturday I went to pick step kids up to take them to a party b/c they never do things that normal children do. So there mother pulls up and SD 6 gets out so that she can gets her medicine. Then just as loud she says SD6 take it in the house b/c you know everytime you go down there you lose something. While their grandmother is in the background co signing everything she says. Then she said yeah and I know that she is going to call FH call I don't care he is nobody. What I should've done was made SD6 and SS9 GET OUT of my truck and let her sorry ass take them. She is a piece of shit.
My FSIL is 22 and her parents divorced when when she was about 4 years and both of her parents remarried. Anyway, they all get along and the other day FSIL said to me "my parents were ment to have me while they were married and that's all". I thought it was pretty profound coming from such a young person. She is smart, funny and very well rounded and both sets of her parents are the reason behind her being this way.
First of all....Happy Mother's Day to all my friends here. I think being a mother can be a thankless job.... but being a stepmother is the MOST thankless job.
I'm reading all the lovely stories about cards that some of you received on Mother's Day and I wanted to share mine as well (and hope some more stories could follow)...
From BS12, I got a paper airplane that stated that I was as great as a "fly-by". 
With Mother's Day having been here and gone...it got me to thinking...HMMMMM
What's in a name...really???
We are all STEPS...but how is that different from being an 'in-law'??
Seriously...when we marry a man, we become an in-law to a family we were not born to...so why does there have to be such a difference when we marry into a family where the children of our Husband's were not biologically ours??
That was my Mothers day "dinner" yesterday, and I enjoyed every bite! I did not do anything in paticular yesterday, my DH had to work, so I dropped him off, he thought it would be good for me to have the car for the day...he was right. I went grocery shopping w/ my 18 month old son. While shopping I treated myself to a "fu-fu" items, lipgloss,bronzing powder, and mascara...cannot live without them, it's all I wear, and I have skimmped on buying any new makeup,even though I really could have used some,the past few months due to $$ issues. It was a nice treat for Mothers day.
made me burst into tears....it read
mom-poem

i got great cards from my bios too - but that one little letter my son (Yes mine, I raise him, I love him, his BM does nothing for him and never has) made this momma feel apperciated, loved, and thankful!
I had to share.
