5 minutes in and I'm gritting my teeth!
OK, tomorrow is the last day of this semester for me. I am glued to my computer trying to get my projects done on time. That's why I have been on ST so much! LOL! Totally avoiding my homework. 
OK, so I'm knee deep in my homework here and my little guys have been SO good for me. I have promised them anything they want if they let me ignore them for 2 days. They seemed to buy it! This distraction has in no way allowed me to forget that Turd Blossom was coming today for the weekend. She has been here 5 minutes and I have not seen her yet, but already I am irritated. I HATE the way she talks to my children. As I said they have been great all day. The minute she walks in the house they get all weird. I hear this from the front room..."Boys, boys". UGH! She's not that much older than them and she sounds like shes 80!
1) I have been reading Stepmonter and I am really getting a lot out of it.
2) I have decided to disengage and this time I think it might work! I think it will work this time because I am finally able to accept the fact that they are just turds, it's not my fault, and there is NOTHING I can do about it. Oh oh oh! Aaaaaand I don't have to feel guilty about not liking them. That feels so goooood!
3) She still irritates me though.

I'm going to need dentures by Monday
I just heard Turd Blossom sniping at and correcting my children. Apparently my DH was indisposed. I called and asked for him to come into my office when he got a minute. I asked him if she was "baby sitting" or who left her in charge? I told him there are only 2 people on this planet that are allowed to parent my children besides myself. That would be DH, after all I guess they are his too (LOL), and my sister. We were raised by the same people so I know she wouldn't do anything differently than I would. Parting shot before I sent DH away (So I could study you know! Pffft!) "If I can't parent her, she had better stop trying to parent my children!"
My poor DH! I am going to milk the final few hours I have left of "studying". I have a summer class but it will not have any homework. I guess I shouldn't tell him that.
that was the hardest thing for me...
accepting that the skids would not have had the character they had before I met them if I had raised them from birth....its SO hard when u have certain standards and then u have to deal with someone who has such low standards, or in some cases, none at all....I took their poor manners and ignorance about things personally and felt it was a reflection of me,.,,,but yur right...ITS NOT MY FAULT!!!..luckily for me, we have them ft and they have blossomed into truly good people, but for a while I wanted that t-shirt...."Its not my fault....I'm the step-mom"....maybe yur influence will help her....
