Lying

I read some of my husbands e-mails this morning. We have all of our e-mails set up through Outlook, so it isn't like I hacked his account or anything. So I found an e-mail back and forth with BM. She wanted to claim the Kid for tax purposes this…

Last Name

OK... this might be petty.. but its REALLY pissing me off. The BM continues to use my BFs last name despite them being divorced in July. Now, I know that sometimes ex-wives choose to keep the last name. I understand that. Hell, my mom still uses my…

Ugh my neighbors (totally not SM/BM related!)

I have a neighbor behind me - we both use the same alley behind us - both our garages face the alley - and eachother.

Said neighbor got into the habit of parking in front of their garage - no biggie except I cant get to mine when he does this!!!!!!!! DO you know what its like to open your garage door and not be able to leave your home for *insert important event* - people have no courtesy - they are so caught up in their own small piece of realty (ie their own space) that heave

The Awful Truth (and sometimes it's menthol flavored!)

I'm a smoker. There. I've been resisting admitting that for a while, but no matter where I run I just keep running back into that awful truth. It doesn't matter how often I do it, where or with who, I'm a smoker.

Funny thing is, I don't really like it. I quit, in fact, for quite a while. Then finals came. The work got hard. Then I started thinking of voluntarily taking myself out of the rat race. I started bumming cigarettes at work, then making plans with smoker friends spe

Meh.

It's not been a bad week, really. It's not over, of course, our weeks start tuesdays.
BUT our first night with SD back, Honey had to ask me to stay home with her because boss-man dropped the responsibility in his lap to entertain a visitor from out of state.
For a few seconds I was irritated because he insults me sometimes by saying he can't leave her alone with me because when he came back I'd have her duct-taped to the ceiling or something. He says it jokingly but he obvi… Continue

Thinking of DH on SD6's bday

Welp, DH's youngest daughter turned 6 today. I knew he was really bummed about not being able to see her... and quite honestly I knew he was wanting me to comfort him. I have issues with SD6 - jealousy and all those stupid things!!! - and so whenever he hurts over not seeing them or her, it really just irks at me more than anything.

But today, I had to put myself in his shoes. DH's divorce was initiated one month before we met (though they had been separated for over a year) and it was… Continue

Valentines Day

So I know that Valentines Day is a Hallmark holiday funded purely for commercialism....but I love it. All the cute stuffed animals lining the store shelves. All the unabashed shows of love and affection. As this "holiday" grows near I just wanted to take a moment and think about the past year and all the chages that have happened in my life and say.....Thankyou! To my DBF, I love you!

The Stepfamily Letter Project

If you could write an anonymous letter to someone in your blended family who would you write to and what would you say? Jacque Fletcher (author of The Career Girl's Guide to Becoming a Stepmom and writer of www.becomingastepmom.com) and I (Erin of the Erin Experiment) recently created the Stepfamily Letter Project -- a blog where blended families can write their true feelings without anyone knowing who they are. If you're interested in submitting a letter, you can e-mail it to stepfamilyletterproject@gmail.com or visit http://stepfamilyletterproject.wordpress.com/ to learn more.
