....i'll spend more time on this blog talking about my transition from spinsterhood to step-motherhood. six months ago i was living the high life baby; buying wet cat food and staying up late at night to watch cartoons on my computer. now i live with my boyfriend and his two kids, who live with us full-time. so far things have been going well (knock on wood) but even then i still feel hugely inadequate and ill-equipped to be a "good" mom. i swear too much, let the 10 year old watch harold and kumar movies, rarely enforce brushing before bedtime, and don't always prepare well-balanced, nutritious meals. however, i am great at bringing home movies and comic books, have introduced the kids to fringe cartoons and drive-in movies, and love them like the dickens. we'll figure stuff out along the way, and i think as long as i back up their pop and don't try to force anything we're going to be fine.
after all, we all like cephalopods, nachos and listening to nights with alice cooper.
