Holiday Exhaustion

I love the holidays. It's my favorite time of year. All of the cooking and visiting with family and friends. What I don't love is my holiday hangover! I'm so tired from all of the shopping, planning, entertaining, and multiple Christmas celebrations. The holidays can be very tricky with two different baby mamas and trying to make sure the grandparents get to see the kids and the kids get to see the kids. Each year is a different load of excuses and reasons that it has to be difficult. Last minute planning - It's hard to keep tract of who will be where and when. That being said - we somehow manage to make it work. We have had a wonderful few weeks and I have finally gotten to the point in my life that I expect the mama drama so it's not as devestating as it used to be. Don't get me wrong, I still get pissed ....... it just seems to go away more quickly now. I try to focus on what is important and that is making sure this kids don't feel the stress and that they have the best holiday they can. The kids are now 10 and 16 so this is not thier first Rodeo. I think they are just used to the way it is and deal amazingly well.
It's been months since my first post and my New Years Resolution is to blog on a regular basis. It's almost like therapy! Forgive my venting........ I promise they will not all be like this!!

Summer Camp Fiasco

My friend who is in from out of town says "Hey, aren't you supposed to pick up Timmy from camp?" Holy Shit...... I'm 30 min. late. Now - I'm never late for anything but, I was so entrenched in setting up this blog, I lost total track of time. Panic phone call to camp, grab car keys and cell phone, race out of the neighborhood (amazingly did not get a speeding ticket) get to camp, jump out of car, run inside to get Timmy. "Gosh, I thought I was going to be here until MIDNIGHT" Did I mention that I have never picked him up from camp before? So I go in and they "need to see my ID please". My first assignment to do camp pick-up and I bomb it! No wonder I have never had kids of my own!
I'm truly lucky to have such a great stepson. He has know me for years so I did not have to go through the "who is this new woman in my life" crap. The other side of that coin is that I have also known his mother for years and I think she appreciates the fact that she knows her son is safe with me but, I have come to the realization that she was put on this earth to make everyone's life she comes in contact with a living hell! (More on that in a later blog - I'm in a good mood because it's Friday and the workweek is over - I don't want to ruin it)
My goal with this blog is to have a place where people can come and post their thoughts, comments, and experiences in an comfortable and safe environment. I don't plan to sugar coat anything and I hope that you will not either. I get so tired of watching people act like everything is perfect. Let's be honest..........it's freakin' HARD! Don't get me wrong, I love my family and my life - we all need a place to vent sometimes.
Have a Great Weekend and Take Care,
Bonus Mom
