Dh had a conversation with TD the other day. He’s with the other half of his family, which…shhhhh….I wish I could be happy for him about, but I just spend the day fretting. I think he’s learning some difficult lessons.
1.) She told him they would do Christmas together when he got there. Um? No presents [...]

On Patience? Maybe I’m cheating, but I went out and bought a copy of Love and Logic – teen edition. I used that book in the classroom and had great results with it. I thought it would give me some pointers for how to interact with (I had to not type REACT to) Kid 1.
I [...]

…keeps the crazies at bay. Which could lead you to several different conclusions.
1.) That I have been cheating on myself and posting somewhere else.
2.) That I am batshit insane.
The truth is, it’s been a little bit of both. I put ONE post on fb. It was funny, and when I can think clearly, I’ll post [...]

Is it written in the handbook of teenage law that THOU SHALT DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF WHAT THOUS PARENTS COMMAND, EVEN IF IT KILLS THOU?
TD and I have been running around 4 – 5 miles weekly – after deciding to do a marathon together this summer (he’ll do 1/2, I’ll do the whole enchilada). [...]

I am *SO* in first place for STEPMOTHER of the year.
This morning, td and I went out for a quick trot around the runway. I was happy for his company. He’s quick and also protects me from the ghosts from the pet cemetary. Yeah, I’m kidding. But it *IS* dark out there and we all [...]

A.K.A.:
You can’t make me! #4230
The boy has a girl. Or, the dude has a dudette, more specifically. An older woman. And who would dh and I be if we didn’t try and school him in the ways of love?
Now, if there is ONE thing that I have learned about td, it’s that you CANNOT tell [...]

Things that strike me as ridiculous at the moment:
1.) The media. Are we seriously still talking about Jessica Simpson’s jeans/weight gain? Lean in real close, I want to tell you something. Can you hear me? Are you looking at me? Okay, now get REEEEELY close, now, because I’m only going to say it once: GET!A!LIFE! [...]

Td surprises me every day.
Yesterday, as I lay in Mother’s Day Buffet stupor, he made me an angel food cake and frosted it with chocolate pudding. All fat free of course, because he knows how neurotic I am.
When I asked what he was making, he said, “Uh…”
So I said, “Eggs?”
And he replied, “Yeah! Eggs!”
He put [...]

Wow! Only 6 more days of story telling to go. I will say that this has been harder than expected…remember that story I told you about that guy that I dated? I went to Palau one summer and when I got back we went out together for dinner and I was describing the beauty and [...]

I spoke to a friend after firing off the last blog entry. She pointed out that I repeated at least 3 times that I need a break, and I guess I do. I just really need to get away and get some perspective. Which points to the boat trip. I was offered a room, but [...]
