Step-Mother's Day

Our first annual Step-Mother's Day! We have decided that the weekend after Mother's Day is Step-Mother's Day. I was surprised with coffee, blueberry pancakes and bacon, along with card and flowers that Dixie picked out. I ended up crying with the card :o)

I also got this dress! Then we met up with my brother-in-law, Domenic, and my nephew, Zachary, at White Rock Lake. We fed the ducks and got some ice cream from the ice cream man.

Here are some shots that my step-daughter took. Isn't Dan the cutest?!

When we came back home, I surprised my step-daughter with some girl time and took her to the splash park. It was such a great day...they both did a great job making me feel special :o)

Dan's Bone

Adam and I made BBQ ribs last week. They looked and smelled wonderful, but much to our dismay, they were tough and didn't give us much meat. The bones were really big and sturdy though, so we decided to share with Dan:

Needless to say, the bone has been picked clean!

A Sunday Afternoon

We spent a very enjoyable Sunday afternoon painting flower pots and planting flowers (our family activity for the weekend).

Adam planted a hibiscus in the large stripped pot, Dixie planted red vincas (it has a more common name, but I can't remember and it's not on the tag) in the medium sized pot with the red stripe (she's a minimalist), and forget-me-nots in the smallest pot. I planted zinnias in the yellow and green stripped pot with polka dots. We all really enjoyed it, and the weather was perfect for sitting outside :o) We put our flowers on a table by the front door so they can greet everyone.

Why oh Why...

Did I have to quit when I did. I can't take this stupid bullshit stress anymore. It's become my whole life lately. It consumes every conversation.

STUPID, LYING, FAT, OLD, USELESS, HATEFUL, SPITEFUL, DISRESPECTFUL, TWO-FACED, MOTHER FUCKING BITCH CUNT WHORE!

(Sigh)...That's better :o)
