Then you get into a relationship with somebody else who has kids, and it gets down right chaotic! Did I mention that the somebody is my childhood sweetheart and best friend? Now let's add in our two roommates. All together our total sum is a family of 11. Welcome to our world, I'd suggest bringing a drink!

Is there a freaking full moon out tonight or something? Or is there something about one o'clock in the morning, back east time, that makes my ex hubby suddenly turn bipolar? We talked, or text rather, earlier today and everything was perfectly fine. A little bit of tension because his Mother could really use some help which he refuses to give. Well he probably actually can't help her but of

Repost from a post written while still married to my ex hubby. Do you bust your ass for a man who is completely unappreciative of anything you do? Do you chase after the kids, cook, clean, and constantly bring him stuff while he just sits in the recliner? Does he "tease" you constantly in ways that hurt your feelings and sometimes make you cry? Do you then find yourself defending him, saying

Is it seriously too much to ask for a shower? I'm not even talking about an uninterrupted shower. Just a shower.  Or for kids to go to sleep when they are put to bed instead of still being awake 3 hours later? Or for your baby to not act like a little leech for days after getting shots and refusing to let you put her down or walk out of her line of sight? Is it too much to ask for that same baby

Sometimes being a woman really sucks! I'm blaming it all on the depo. Which by the way, as long as the Essure worked this time, I won't need anymore depo shots. I'll drink to that! If you don't know what Essure is I'll try to explain. Basically they take a skinny little coil and plug your fallopian tubes with it. After a few months the tube closes around it and then no more babies. The first time

Ok, I'm looking for some input here. Potty training. Holly is driving me crazy. She's 3 years old, she pees in the potty just fine, usually has a dry pull up after nap time and occasionally even in the mornings after bedtime. Staying dry isn't much of an issue. But pooping in the potty? Oh that's a whole other story! She's done it a few times, but only a few. She'll refuse to eat and say that

I've always been told that the very first thing my mother said after I was born is "If it's a girl, I don't want it." No matter how much I try or how much I accomplish, I can never get those words out of my head. You see, I was a replacement baby. About two years before I was born, my then 16 year old mother gave birth to and then gave up for adoption a baby boy. So over the years I could never

Writing...blogging...what's that? I don't remember anymore! I use to make time every single day to write. It helped me keep what precious little was left of my sanity. Now I'm so busy that the only time I can even think of something to write about is when I lay down to go to sleep and can't stop my brain from running in circles. Maybe I'm just crazy....hmm what are the signs of craziness?

This was actually written about a month ago, well the first part was, but I've been too busy to post it. There's nights that my precious little baby absolutely drives me nuts and on those nights, in between dealing with her and her constant need to use me as a binky, I have bad dreams. This happened to me about two nights ago. I spent the whole night in and out of nightmares about zombies.

Have you ever stopped to think about the way fairy tales portray stepmothers? They're always wicked and want to kill their stepchildren. Cinderella's stepmother used her as a slave. Snow White's stepmother wanted her heart cut out. And Hansel and Gretel's wanted them lost in the woods. I happen to be a stepmother, well almost but that's another post, to three children and even on bad days

I know it seems like I've completely dropped off the planet but I'm still here. I've just been very busy and due to things with my now ex-hubby, I had to stop writing on this blog. I have been sort of working on another one though called My Crazy Life! Please feel free to stop by there and catch up on all the craziness that's been going on.

Thank freaking goodness for the second trimester of pregnancy!!!!! I was starting to think I would never again feel even close to human again. The evil "morning" sickness is over, unless I'm hungry of course, and the headaches are bearable. I'm still tired but not nearly as much as before. I don't think I've taken a nap in like 4 or 5 days! And I've been able to make meals for dinner without the

My hormones must be off the freaking chart!!!! So far I think this might actually be my most difficult pregnancy. I'm tired constantly, can't hardly stand the smell of anything, especially food. I feel like crying but can't. Feel like screaming, but again can't. I feel depressed, mad, sad and confused. Half the time I don't know what the hell I'm doing or feeling.

I just got a huge and very exciting surprise today! Life has been so crazy lately that I've been really slacking on blogging, both writing and reading other amazing bloggers. So imagine my surprise when I wandered over to Cinnamon's blog to play catch up and see that she passed an award on to me! Totally made my day! Cinnamon is amazingly awesome but now that's just been tripled! Here's the

Wow, I just realized that February 19th marked my one year of blogging! Can I just say WOW again! My aunt, who also started blogging around that time, is the one who got me into it. And I am so very grateful for that. There have been many many days that either writing on here or reading other mom's blogs have saved my sanity! I love the blogging community and the sense of knowing I'm not

  I still can't believe I'm pregnant with baby number 4!!! If any of you have ever had the Essure Procedure done, run to your doctor's office and have them make sure you're still sealed up tight! Don't get me wrong. Now that the shock is starting to fade I'm just as happy as I was all the other times, this time was just a bit of a surprise! What would really be nice though is if all

I figured that title would get your attention! So almost two years ago, after having Miss Holly, I had a procedure done called Essure. It's basically where they take these little springs, plug your fallopian tubes and it grows around it and locks out any little swimmers. Two years with no problems. I'm sealed up tighter then Alcatraz right? Evidently not! I kept telling my friend D to remind

This is one of the best books I've had the privilege to review in awhile! At 186 pages it's a quick easy read while also being extremely thought provoking. The main characters consist of a racist gang-member, a child prostitute, an African refugee, a thrill seeking rich kid and the man who is determined to save them, both from themselves and from the cruelties each has endured. Honestly,

So now I'm getting "anonymous" comments stating that the things I've written about hubby are defamation of character and slander. Hmm I guess just about every writer is guilty of this then. Why is it that he has to pick apart every little thing I do or say. And why does he have to be every where? I dread checking my text messages because they are usually from him. Now I have to dread every time

There's so much going on in my life right now that it's getting really difficult to sort things out. Writing helps a lot but with certain situations, there's only so much that I can blog about. One of the things I've been considering is taking this blog and combining it somehow with my other blog Did I Shave my Legs for This?! I'm just not really sure how I want to go about it. Is this something

I know there's a lot of links in this post today, but please, take the time to click on them and read them. These are some examples of venting that that hubby is trying to use against me. Evidently my hubby, who I am separated from, has decided that any writing I do where I'm venting about my children means that I'm a bad mother. He claims that a lot of other people feel the same way. And he's

I think we need to buy those blow up boxing gloves. Who are the contenders? In this corner weighing in at 30 pounds you have 3 1/2 year old Hunter and in this corner weighing in at a whopping 35 pounds you have 4 year old Aiden! They are the best of friends and the worst of enemies all at the same time. As soon as one of them wakes up in the morning or they are away from each other for any length

You may be curious about how things are going at night since the whole Night time horrors post. I wish they were going better! The next night I let Holly have one bottle to go to bed and after that I made her take a sippy cup instead. She screamed NO, threw herself down and screamed and kicked! I basically said 'Oh well and I love you. Night night" and walked out of the room. This went on off

As much as I dearly love my children, it's nights like this that I'm just so freaking done! It's a little after 11pm. Hunter and Holly have been in bed since about 7:30pm. They took an average nap today, played a lot, and it's been a rainy day which always makes them extra tired. So why the hell are they still awake and tormenting me?! Hunter has had countless hugs and kisses. Holly has had

I've really been falling behind on my reading lately which also means I've been slacking on my book reviews! So I figured I better get to it. This time around I read The Swiss Cheese Theory of Life "How to get through life's holes without getting stuck in them!" By Judith A. Belmont, MS and Lora Shor, MSW. The first thing that caught my interest about this book was definitely the title!
