The Why

I am a half-time step-mom to a 6 year old girl.

"Half-time" meaning she lives in our home half her time.

I am a biological mother to two other children. One from a previous marriage and one I share with my husband.

Your basic:  his, mine and ours.

I needed a place to write about my feelings and experiences dealing with all the aspects that come along with being a step-mother.  The good, the bad and the ugly.

Sometimes I feel like my life is like a Lifetime movie that I find disturbing and I want to change the channel.
Other times, it's like one of those movies where you want to cozy on the couch under a blanket and watch an all day marathon.

I just needed a place to write about all of it.

This place with have that focus----that which involves my step-daughter: parenting her, her relationships with  us, dealing with her mother, and all the idiocy there, her schooling, activities, and the like.

My intention is only to have a place to write about this part of my life...freely.
