We finally had a true holiday with out the step kids! What a relief. No drama from their Adoptive mother and no drama at my home. Why can it be this way always? It has been since March since they have been to our home. It heads been wonderful! I love not having them here and there is little or no fighting with our kids. It's really been peaceful. However, I do feel bad for my husband. I know he would like them here but it is just way too many issues when they show up.

Im worried because Christmas and their birthdays are coming up and they have asked for very expensive stuff all Holister and A&E by the way did I say they were 10 going on 11. They have phones, iPads, I touches, wii, and dsi's. Really. What next a car.. Oh well if I don have to spend their birthday with them then I am good!
