As much as I lurk on here, I feel a need to re-introduce myself to the sTalk community and share a little bit of my goings-on with you guys. I have been entirely too paranoid to post anything however mundane it may be. I don't have much to complain about in the way of my sKid, he's a pretty easygoing kid and I'm lucky to have a DH that understands the importance of discipline. Also, I've mastered the stinkeye and SS totally understands what it means when I use it.

The holidays are here - time for the all BMs to show their true colors!

I knew it wouldn't last. Our BM has been oddly civil and cooperative since she gave birth to her new baby last month. I chalked it up to exhaustion. She has been more than willing to give us a few extra days here and there (where previously, it was like pulling teeth to get SS3 to even talk on the phone to DH) and that didn't surprise DH and I one bit. Newborns are exhausting. 3YOs are exhausting. I can't imagine anyone with a new baby who wouldn't give their toddler's father the few extra days a month he has been begging for just to get a few moments of peace and quiet to yourself!

new here - just filling you in on the details.

*sigh of relief*

I've found it. I know that you know what I mean. After lurking on here, reading post after post for the last 48 hours, I had to participate. I've felt isolated for far too long. Being a stepmom can be such a lonely island. I would not trade my DH for the world...but given the option, I would probably tweak the situation just a bit.
