I am totally the coolest stepmom around!! And I am not afraid to say it!

Not only did I get the one gift that my stepson wanted this year, but I dragged my husband in my stepson’s room to clean it. Seriously, I cleaned my stepson’s room this evening. Without any reason. And it wasn’t the first time – or the last.

Have to admit, one of the top things on my list of “Things I Don’t Want to Do, but Do Anyway” list would have to be cleaning someone else’s room. I just feel for the kid. Not only can he not find any pants, but he is walking around in a jacket at least two sizes too small simply because he can’t find any pants and he left his new jacket at school. Uhm, hello. Need to figure this one out. It took hubby and I about ten minutes to straighten the room. Then we set the timer so that stepson could finish the job. Needless to say he needed about 40 minutes just to finish the job. But he did a good job. And I know how endless a filthy room can seem.

Loving the stepmom thing since I got back. We have had a few minor issues, but all in all he has been really good to me. Hugs and kisses all around. Yeah!! And anytime I feel he is being disrespectful, a quick “hey you don’t need to be rude” (or something to that effect) seems to work wonders. Whew. Big weight off my shoulders. I am glad that he likes having me around. And I am really glad I like having him around.
