Oh so, I told Darling that there were no strings attached, but a physical relationship was what I needed to get through this time in my life and seeing as we'd already made the "mistake" he'd be perfect. Wow that sounds so stupid now. Before meeting the F-Word (babe, stands for father among other words) I wasn't an angel, I wasn't looking for a relationship and I guess we just hungout for a

today i was supposed to spend the day with the f-word and the boys at water park, trying to keep things nice for teddy bear's birthday.  i think that this is going to be hardest on him, so i purchased the f-word, myself, and the boys tickets and decided to go together for the little one. he found out while were there that he knows darling and now he thinks i was cheating during our

Ok, Babe removed $40’s from the account I was not able to make un-joint yet. He did pay me back, but my point is that it is my money… He did not work for the past 2 years and left me with what is so far $400 dollars in damages to repair the house I am renting (without labor, his uncle is doing that) from the “water damage” incident. When I saw that the money had been removed from my account I

So...last night...yep I wound up going to see a man that I have known since I was 13. I will call him Darling. He has always been a close friend and cuddle buddy. He was trying to comfort me so we snuggled up and watched Twilight. Well let me just say...we did more than cuddle... Now I am confused, o What if Babe wants to comeback, would I take him in order to get my boys back? o

You’re not their mother and it’s not really your day. You are just a guardian, a step, not the “mommy,” not ever, not today. The wart on your nose grows bigger in every way, when you tell them that they have misbehaved and cannot play. Their mommy only takes them on fun days and they are never grounded there. You make them sit in “timeout”; you are just too much to bear. At least until

I was laid off today… It is very scary, I support a family of 4, and Babe’s uncle also lives here. Uncle D works, but not on a regular basis, so sometimes I support him too. I received a severance, but it is not much. In this economy, being jobless is terrifying and I hope to find a job soon. There are also repairs that I have to make to the house I am renting. There was some water damage

I have been filling out Babes divorce papers, it is kind of annoying that nobody will help (not necessarily him, he’s never been a paperwork person), but the M-Word, keeps bugging me about whether they are done!  “Ok now sweetheart I am doing this so you and Babe don’t have to hire a lawyer, so leave me alone!” I’d like to make a lot of excuses as to why they are still married and there are

After probably reading way to much into my sister's negative invite to her New Years Eve shindig, the boys, Babe and I decided to go to a celebration thingy that a town close to us was putting on for free. We'll we got out 50 bucks (we were gonna party, screw the bills) went to Burger King and showed up at 8 with about 35 dollars. 2 candied apples and 2 beers later (about 9:30) we were broke (

I was trying to make plans for New Years Eve.  We'd had the boys for the last 3 years and although it is always fun to keep kids up past their bedtime and scream at midnight, so on and so forth, I emailed the M-Word to see if she could take a break from her busy schedule to take the boys.She ignored it.This in mind, I new that my sister would be having a get together, so I called her up.  I asked

As I said in previous posts, I posted about the M-Words new assets on the forum Childlessstepmoms.org.<?xml:namespace prefix = o />I got great replies. They all made me feel better and less bitter about the situation, but I guess my tongue was still a little jagged.I gave one Childless Stepmom the impression that I was making fun of her for the boob job itself.

Children at Christmas time are so wonderful.  They smile all day, fight over toys, tell you this is the best Christmas ever 20 times, basically they make it all worth it! They may cry or say the wrong thing when they open the present that is just not right, but even the rudest kids can make you smile on Christmas. It is days like today that make me wonder what ny life would be like if it weren’t

There are great people in this world! I joined a forum specifically dedicated to childless stepmoms. I added a topic about my situation with not being able to afford Christmas and the m-word getting a boob job (maybe?).  I wasn’t asking for anything, just writing out my thoughts, to see what others thought about my situation. Well, I got a reply from another childless stepmom like me, offering

I haven't written in a while, but I have been busy with school and work and life. So, the m-word has a surgery this Friday. Last year about this time, she had a hysterectomy.  I am kinda wondering what other surgeries a 27-year-old woman would have.  I know that there are plenty, but she told us she was having a hysterectomy.  This one she just said surgery and when I played concerned (really

Teddy Bear was throwing up from 9PM to 1:30PM tonight (this morning, whatever). I felt helpless. Babe went out and got medicine, but the little guy kept going….every 15 minutes.<?xml:namespace prefix = o />We tried to contact the M-Word…cause although she says they are on her insurance now we have never actually seen the cards and we wanted to go armed to the E-Room with more than, “I dunno.”

On April 8, 2002, my best friend, Red, married Venezuelan Punk Star.  Their marriage wasn’t exactly a happy one.  They loved each other for a while, but then it just seemed to teeter off.  They weren’t unhappy, just not HAPPY HAPPY. Red and I were friends with Heartbreaker for a long time; in fact she caught the bouquet at Red and VPS’s wedding.  As Red and VPS grew further apart, Heartbreaker

Sugar asked me if he could call me mom, tonight.  It was just me, him and Teddy Bear, watching National Treasure.  Then he popped out with “Since Dad is Dad and you are the other one can I call you Mom?”As you may have read, he has done it before but it was always when he wanted something or when he was describing me to someone else as in “that’s my ___”.  But never specific and most of the time

I took the boys to a festival. It was great.  They had all sorts of things for them to do: Trick or Treating (of course) at tents and businesses.

Picture this….I am running late for the parent conferences.  I had purposely left Babe the car (we only have one; I KNOW RIGHT). I purposely did this because I was afraid I would not make it.  I was doing an assessment of a plant.  My employer is perfect willing to lone me one of the company vehicles (the economy has caused an excess of these, if you get me and that way they don’t have to pay me

I had resigned myself to a life with the boys and Babe along time ago, figuring even if I ever wanted a child/children of my own that it just was not in the cards. Babe was fixed after Teddy Bear came along. I loved them so much that I thought that it would never matter. I know that he can get a reversal, but Babe is one of 3 boys and he has 2, his brother has 2, and admittedly his other

Ok so I am trying not to make this blog about my life and not all about the M-Word, but she is just trying my patients lately.  The M-Word has not seen the kids’ in almost a month and now she has asked to see them for Halloween and Thanksgiving.  Does this mean that she does not want to see them until then? Even if she does, why does she always want them for the fun stuff, or if she has plans.

I took the boys to the really cool park that I found again.  The boys met several friends, actually a family of 4 children and their cousin (instant group of friends). Teddy Bear found a dead fish and played with it…yuck; he and his new 8 year old girlfriend buried it and gave it a proper funeral. Well on to the good news.  Sugar and one of his new friends were playing catch with a football (the

An old friend, that I had a crush on in high school (we almost dated), wrote me an email explaining that he thinks back on me fondly and that I was a fork in his life. He explained that he had asked a magic 8-ball whether or not to pursue me and it told him “no.” He said that he thinks back and wonders where he would be in his life had it said “yes.” Well other than the fact that this is a dumb

I had to get up at 5 this morning. That wouldn't be so bad, but I had a paper due last night and of course I procrastinated. Why do I do that! Wouldn't it be nicer if we all just got things done in advance. I wish I could say that I had been super busy but that just was not the case; I was lazy! I have been doing this since I was a kid but admittedly, my mother, although a procrastinater herself

I am sitting at this new park I found. It is great the boys have a lake to swim in or the can play on the playground or there is a miny water park for $1 a person! This is great I am so happy about our move! But why do boys play in the weeds.  I was a tomboy with the best of them, but I hate late weeds....They hoped in them looked for minoes....It was gross, but I felt peer pressured in to wading

Sugar is a very logical and smart kid.  Not that he doesn't have an imagination, because he does, but in real life situations he is very matter-of-fact.  If Babe is lecturing him about listening to me he might say "you need to respect Caribel Renee like you would me or your mommy." And sugar would say, "Caribel’s not my mom." He is not being mean, just factual.   Well today, he did it, Sugar

Well, it has been awhile. We moved.I had to let my house go. It was extremely depressing. I thought that I had done the right thing by getting into a house, but unfortunately I bought at the top of the bubble and I was not close to my work.

Maybe I am too modern but I like the thought of going to work everyday and coming home to a clean house with dinner on the table. I guess it could be old fashion thinking that it is better for someone to be at home (we just got it backwards). I found out that I got my promotion…if it is enough money

The baby, Teddy Bear, is below grade level in KINDERGARTEN. He is very young for the grade whereas hisbig brother is one of the oldest. We are seriously considering holding him back.I am worried how it will hurt his self-esteem. My sister was one of the youngest kids in her class also and she struggled through elementary school. She of course turned out , but with hisalready low self-esteem,

Yesterday it rained off and on all day. Despite the weather, my two friends and I decided to be adventurous and take our kids swimming. When we got to the pool, it was beautiful, the boys started playing with girls, and we even made new Brazilian friends. Life was good!Then CRACK BOOM, the sky opened up!Now, most parents Pseudo or not would have given up, but not us. We hunkered down under a

I am sitting in the living room looking at the boys. They passed out watching Star Wars Episode I. I am tired and yet I can’t sleep. I guess I am under the same stress as everyone else in this economy. I just worry about whether the boys are having a good life. We do not have money, but we live near one of the wealthiest areas in our little part of the world. Most of the boys’ friends at

i have always wondered how i would feel if the boys ever called me mom. when i met babe the boys lived with the m-word.  he saw them a lot, but i was not permitted to meet them until we had been dating for a month and he was fairly certain that i would be around awhile. over the next 6 months or so, babe worked very hard at making sure that i was not left alone with the boys.  it wasn’t that he

This is a good question. It is definitely not the norm. In the past, most mothers have had custody of their children. I have noticed that this is changing, not only in my immediate relationship, but I have been seeing a real trend. When Babe’s Ex gave him the children, he was so happy about not having to put up a fight that he told her that he would not ask her for any money, but she had to

I missed the boys' first t-ball games!  I had good reason, one of my bestests got married today.  The wedding was beautiful and I wouldn't have missed it for the world, still part of me wishes I had magic powers (2 places at once, time travel, ya know whatever).  That is one thing I didn't realize I needed as a pseudo stepmom, super powers.  The other thing, I mean, that I didn't realise you

The BOYS are incredible Sugar is 6 and Teddy Bear is 5. They are 9.5 months apart (amazing right) and a handful. Sugar is so talented; he's going to be a famous baseball player someday. Teddy Bear is going to be a rock star. It amazes me that their mother only finds time for them a couple of hours a month. She always says that she wants to be part of their lives, but... LIFE 101 list you

So, I really don't want to get married anytime soon...it has nothing to do commitment (I know I'm stuck with these three). It is just that I'm lazy and don't feel the need, however, I feel awkward sometimes. The other day at baseball practice (we live right outside of the capital of rich, stay at home moms) a gorgeous, personal trainer, blonde mom was talking to me and I don't remember the

So, Sugar was in major trouble at school today. He used “POTTY” language. There was this little girl and she might have said that he asked her to do something to him (the first thing to pop into your head is probably right). Well, I was shocked!! We let the s*** word slip sometimes, but he has never heard THAT out of his father’s (Babe) mouth or mine for that matter, but I lack the proper

I was accepted to a great MBA program! I am so excited but it is going to be hard with the boys.  I completed my undergrad while working 3 jobs, but kids are different.  Their mother is talking about being a mom again, but she always does that.  Maybe if she actually does I will have extra study time, but we will see. Well, I hope it all works out and that it gets me the job of my dreams, but at

We went to visit Babe’s parents for Christmas.  They live in another state and it was so beautiful.  I was hoping that the boys would see snow, but it didn’t happen.  There where hills and the leaves were red, gold, yellow, and orange.  It was exciting although my pseudo father in-law preached to me about how we were never going to get financially stable until we became right with God! He means {

Teddy Bear was sick today L. And now they won’t let him go to school tomorrow either, there goes my work week). Why oh why did he never get sick in preschool, but it seems to happen all the time now.<?xml:namespace prefix = o /> I took him to the doctor, but there mother’s insurance has a $1000 deductible (thanks for mentioning that) and I was going to have to pay $135. I didn’t have it

The M-Word has a blog too. It is interesting to read and I feel like a cyber stalker but, oh well. It is interesting how things have changed. Here is a post from June 24, 2004 (about 2 months after Babe and I started dating.  I changed the names to protect the childish, including me): Well, things are good, Lil’Boy and I have been together about 5 months now, and he is so great!

so, it was the boys first day of kindergarten.  i never understood why this was such a big deal. WELL NOW I KNOW. this morning was the most gut wrenching experience i have ever had.  so many thoughts went through my head. “ARE THE GOING TO BE OK” “WILL THEY BE POPULAR” “WILL THEY BE PICKED ON” “WILL THEY BEHAVE” “HAVE I PREPARED THEM” “PLEASE LET THEM REMEMBER THEIR ABC’S” “PLEASE DON’T

Babe and I got a much needed night out!  The M-Word watched the boys overnight and Babe and I went to a Halloween Concert and stayed at a hotel next door so we could drink and not drive home!  Oh and drink we did, we got lost walking back to the hotel…oops.  It was so much fun, but Babe did have to work the next day….he was sleepy. I do not think that we have had a night out in a year and we

After not seeing Sugar and Teddy Bear for a month, The M-Word had the nerve to write me and say that because I had the boys’ pics on my myspace page (under the category family) it made her sick and accused me of taking over her family (as if she made that hard).  This is funny coming from her, seeing as she had zero pics of the boys on her page.  It would be different if she did not have any kids

The boys’ mother has decided to let the Babe have them! He is so happy! <?xml:namespace prefix = o />She decided that she could not handle them and her new daughter…to bad for her.Babe has to share a bedroom with the boys, as his apartment is a 2 bedroom and he has a roommate, but that is ok his bedroom is huge and fits 2 large beds easily. He has enrolled them in a daycare near his apartment,
