Blessings promote happiness and well-being...thats my family! Especially my four children: Christian, Kyle, Michael, & Noelle...you are my blessings. I'm so happy to be your Mom, I get to love you throughout life and all eternity! I am blessed to have a life full of rich experiences, not always so easy, but I learn from the hard times. I'm thankful Noelle was blessed by her Daddy in church on June 10th. It was a great photo opportunity (smile : p)...great memory of family gathering to welcome my little girl. The food was great, too!
I haven't been blogging for the last three months, why? I dare say, I was so perplexed this summer with my stepkids in town for 6 weeks!!! Uhmmm... postpartum period and 3 extra kids = argh! It was a tough time emotionally & in every other way. Two of my three stepkids like to challenge every boundary, and I don't see a great forecast for their teenage years. I hope for better times... hoping, not expecting. I'm sure I need to change my perspective, but ohhh it's tough! (biting tongue right now).
Anyone have advice on the way to face the trials of stepmothering? I'm open to suggestions, or I just may re-locate every summer!!! (ha ha?)

ReplyDeleteI never knew you had a blog! I just finished reading all 4 entries. It appears you also have a talent for writing...I wish you would continue! I loved reading what you have written (so far) and hope you start again! I believe you can help the many women who also made the same choice...to blend families...a choice I cannot relate to. I could never imagine having a his, hers and theirs family. So my family has remained very small....just my son and I...for 22 years now!!! Your writing is a blessing! It maybe the exact "divine diversion" you NEED right now! I know this blog, your words, would be a blessing to many other mothers who are going through the difficulties you are right now. Bless you!
