OT - SMJ's Blog made me think of a lighthearted Blog!

I saw SMJ's blog about her and DH's song from Mary J. Blige and thought!! Oh!! Yay! How nice!

At our wedding, DH and I danced to Rod Stewart's version of The Way You Look Tonight. We did CD's as our Wedding Favors and also named each of the tables at our reception after a song on the CD.

We wanted to change our song at the very last minute to The Story by Belinda Carlisle!! But, since all of the CD's and table cards had been made, we stuck with The Way You Look Tonight. But The Story is so beautiful and fits us too.

On the topic of children today...

I know there's a lot of entitlement out there. But I wonder how many of you deal with children that also tread a fine line between having little self esteem yet also possessing narcissistic traits? SD here is a really beautiful girl with very low self esteem. She picks herself apart! But, she also tends to pick others apart to make herself feel better. She sometimes says inappropriate things, like, "I'm going to a meeting with the smart kids." I call her on it and then she feels bad.

OT - Curious question

Does anyone on here know the ratio of steps that stay in their situations? Is it just me or does there seem to be a lot of relationship break-ups on here recently? (I've been a member for almost a year, but only actively blogging for the past month or so..)

BM stopped over yesterday unannounced (long)

We have set up a loose visitation schedule with BM over here. Basically every Friday, she gets to see her daughter, at least for a few hours. Every other Friday, SD stays overnight at her mom's house. We picked Fridays over the Summer so that it doesn't become an every Thursday and every other Friday or Saturday overnight and trying to juggle all of those days. It's not perfect... SD has a birthday party sleepover this Friday night when she should be spending time with her BM, but BM is going to come over Thursday for a little while and Friday before SD goes over to the party.

There's 2 versions of the Kevin the Man post on the site, each with different responses. I think because one is a blog, and one is forum. Just fyi... so that everyone can see all the responses... I answered each... One I answered directly to Kevin the Man... and one I commented on to Rags... I've never seen this happen on a blog before. Has anyone else??

OT - Rags, Orange County and Kevin the Man got me thinkin...

Yes, excuse the bad English up there... but the guys did get me thinking. I have no brothers. I have 2 older sisters that put me in my place whenever and however I need it and it's not always gentle. My mom and dad never treated us as strictly "girls" - we had no real gender rules in playing or working. If we wanted to do something we were encouraged to do it. People say I remind them of Sheryl Crow - a kind of "rock chick" type of girl, which also fits in to what I do for a living. Not too girly, but not Chastity Bono either!

OT - People will think I'm crazy

I know that most people on here do NOT want BM in their home, nor do they want DH to go to BM home. We have always been different in that regard and have always enforced the "come into our home when you pick up child" so that it doesn't look awkward or hostile.

Well, DH has gotten BM to agree to child support. Granted, she gets 2 years to pay us and she gets to pay us less than she would if we took her to court, but she feels that he is ripping her off.
