Hi guys! I love this entry. It helped a hopeful like me feel better about my day. I’m trying to take it one day at a time. I can never tell what the next day will bring. A lot of days I hope for the miracle. Or a kind interaction between myself and X. But until that point it’s good to know that there are those that understand and there is proof that it can change. Maybe it won’t change for me but there is hope for others in similar positions that know that it’s possible. I love your posts. I like having my thoughts and emotions provoked.

To qualify the “kids are allowed to swear” I should add that they’re allowed to swear, but they’re not allowed to say put downs. So, “Sh*t!” is accepted (but not encouraged), but “You are a sh*thead!” is not okay.

“It would not be that hard to portray me as a cold, selfish, attention-hungry, hyper-sensitive, demanding person who is pretty clueless about parenting. Yeah, I have all that stuff in me. But I have lots of good things in me, too. Like cocktails. And cellulite.”

I can so relate! This is exactly how I feel most of the time.

I love your dirty laundry. I like you more every day. And for the record, I have cellulite and swear in front of the kids (although guiltily) and drinking is one of my parenting skills. Oh, and The Royal Tanenbaums was our holiday movie last year, along with Mel Brooks’ History of the World (ugghh)

The forum on my site (I am happy to say) has been getting some pretty interesting entries lately. I am inspired. Come on by sometime.

Although I would just like to add for the record that I do not think that Izzy has done any of the things I’ve mentioned above or that she has any cellulite! She does make some hard core cocktails, though.

Have you seen Izzy Rose’s forum over at Stepmother’s Milk? It has that vibe. It’s pretty wonderful.

I am cracking up here!! Thanks for starting my day off with a good laugh.

My DH and I started watching Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle with our SDs. Holy Cow! I kept saying to DH, “Do you think maybe we should turn this off?” and he kept saying, “Nah, it couldn’t get much worse than this.” And it kept getting worse, and worse. It took about 45 minutes before we finally did. Oops!

Old School and Borat are two of my favorites! Maybe we should start a cocktails-and-cellulite stepmom support forum.
