A Babbling Dreamer: December 2011
http://babblingdreamer.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
The random musings of an every day kinda gal. Thursday, December 15, 2011. Anyway, I took a lot of pictures of Holly and while some were just not good, some turned out well and I had a hard time making a choice. In the end the picture we submitted was used because it was pretty focused. I have some others to share with you now. These are raw images, without any editing. Saturday, December 10, 2011. The Elf on the Shelf. To see the other entries, and when voting starts I hope you will like my link.

Oh, I'm not their mom: April 2012
http://nottheirmom.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Oh, I'm not their mom. Thursday, April 12, 2012. Oh goodness. I don't know even where to begin. I can feel the downward pull of depression in the pit of my stomach. It's that awful darkness that I know many people experience. I guess the one positive is that I am recognizing it right away. So I'm trying to stay afloat here. Had a job interview on Tuesday, which would be awesome to get. School is done in 5 weeks and I will go crazy without a job. Just need some distraction. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

http://nottheirmom.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Oh, I'm not their mom. Friday, February 4, 2011. Anyone heard about this or planning to see it? I'd like to check it out. but have the same anxiety that I have about finishing Stepmonster - just too much step-mom overload. The trailer for the movie looks promising - hopefully a realistic depiction of step-parenting. Http:/ www.fandango.com/movie-trailer/theotherwoman-trailer/140812/1 704490. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Oh, I'm not their mom: May 2011
http://nottheirmom.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Oh, I'm not their mom. Sunday, May 22, 2011. How do you untangle yourself from a marriage, from step-parenting, without losing a part of yourself? The relationship with my husband might not be working, but what about all of the other parts of my life that ARE? Work, school, parenting? Not having those kids in my life would be like losing a limb. Their importance to me surpasses all other things in my life. Was that wrong to do? Did I miss something? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Oh, I'm not their mom: December 2010
http://nottheirmom.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Oh, I'm not their mom. Wednesday, December 29, 2010. Now hold onto your skirts, this post isn't about THAT kind of role playing. But I can blog about it in the future if requested. This was a really hard thing for my husband to come to terms with. I was so overly involved before. Killing myself to be amazing and "fix" the kids. Give them what they missed out on in life. When I stepped back, my husband was confused and hurt. Why wasn't I making an effort to meet the kids' teachers? Made for me by SD10.

Oh, I'm not their mom. Wednesday, October 13, 2010. What I wrote back. So a few weeks ago BM emailed me this long and ranty email. Thanks everyone for your input. A friend helped me craft the following response. BM hasn't responded, which is fine. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Made for me by SD10. I've been in my step-kids lives since Sept 2008.
