New Blog

Yes, it is just that. Another blog authored by me. This blog will be private and will be something I will share with only those who are willing to read without judgement and possibly offer advice. I have been having a lot of struggles, especially lately, with the duties that fall under my title of "Step Mom." A lot of these things I feel the urge to write about, yet I don't want them to bring down my "family" blog and become part of our family's lasting legacy! If you feel like you would be interested in viewing just leave me a comment with your email address (unless I already have it) and I will add you to my list. Here is an excerpt from my first blog post to give you an idea of what I am up to:
"What I was meaning to say was that experiencing the emotions that come along with carrying and delivering a baby causes me to be even more confused about the behavior of my sons' biomoms. Why do they do the things they do? What is my responsibility if any in handling these situations? How do I continue to show my love and support for my boys without allowing my utter and complete dislike for their biomoms to show through? These women have never (at least to my knowledge) done anything specifically against me, but I still feel the strong mama bear urges coming out of me when I learn about their latest antics. I will be sharing these battles and frustrations all out in the open here. I ask not for pity, condolences, criticism, or judgement. I am simply needing a place to vent and a possible source for support and advice from other moms out there who may have experience in dealing with these matters. If you think you can do this then you are welcome to read and comment as you like; however, if this seems too difficult a task then you are welcome to close this window and go on about your business."

Toshia- I think this is very healthy idea. Growing up with a step family had it's challenges, but I think you are already ahead of the game:) Add me to your list...I think you already have my email address.
