I’m Just Horrible;)
I have no meetings on my schedule for work. This would be the perfect day to get that much needed filing, returning of phone calls, etc done. So…..why did I call in? Was it because my joints and back hurt? Maybe I’m feeling a bit quesy? Could it be that my feet are swollen and I can’t walk?
Uhhh, no. I need to finish washing and folding clothes, prepping my room for painting, and of course I want a nice loooooong nap. I’ve already been to Lowe’s to buy the paint and it’s not even 10:30:) Speaking of, I bought this paint that has a granite finish…I am so looking forward to seeing how this turns out. Remember, my hubby wasn’t as enthused about painting and he wouldn’t have gotten around to it before the baby was born. Sooooo, he can’t complain about the colors or finish I chose:)
An aside…..sometimes I really hate/loathe/detest dislike being a stepmother. Maybe I’ll elaborate at some point in the future. Let’s just say it involves my car, a self-centered, apathetic teenager, overindulgent and/or clueless parents, and an estimate…oh, and restrictions on litigious rights of stepparents:)….Actually, no need to elaborate.
i have a step son who is 19 and he wanted to come live with us his senior year… and though i agreed i really didn’t want him to come. i love him as if he was my own …but thats just it..hes not. and hes old. what if i want to walk around in my drawls (which i can’t because i have a 7 yr old son) but what if i did… i couldn’t cause he would be there eating up all the food as teenage boys do..not cleaning up and all that mess…and the girls calling and coming over! and then what if he had sex in my house where my babies could walk in on him or ME!!! to much drama. i was just not ready to be a mother to a teenager. thank God it didn’t happen!

i have a step son who is 19 that wanted to come live with us his senior year…and though i agreed i really didn’t want him to. i mean i love him like my own…but hes not and hes 10 years younger than me. his dad is 9 1/2 years older than me…just to weird. but what if i wanted to walk around in my drawls (which i can’t because of 7yr old son) but what if iwanted to…i couldn’t because he would be there eating up all the food, makin messes, not cleaning or contributing. and the Girls! tying up the phone and sitting on my couch. and what if he was having sex in my house where my baies or me could walk in on him OH HELL NAW!! i was just not ready to be a mother to a teenager. thank God it didn’t happen!

well dangit…anyway i was saying how horrible it would have been to have my 19 year old step son live with us…so i understand how sometimes you just don’t want to step mother anothers child cause there are certain things you can’t do as you would with you own children. i fell to close in age to my strp son to acutally be his mother.

Good luck with your painting. I have done that “faking sick” thing too in order to get housework done. Call it a Mental Health Day!

Sometimes you gotta take that “ME” time by any means necessary. Your office will survive without you for a day.
That stepmother gig must be a tough one. I know it’s hard for me to hold my tongue around bad kids that I don’t even KNOW. It has to be hard to balance boundaries with being a stepmother. Especially it the kid you’re dealing with isn’t the nicest in the world. Hope you’re able to find that balance.

GBood Luck with the painting. I don’t blame you one bit for calling in. I have been known to fake a sick day once in a while too
Ohh the step parent thing….all I can say is UGH!
