How Did I Get Here...and other ramblings...

Just a few days more than two years ago I became a step-mother to two very adoreable children. I was excited, joyful and saw a future filled with bright happy bonding moments as we all navigated the paths that would begin to define our contemporary family. I joked with my new step-daughter about being her "wicked stepmother" and all the warts I would have to grow to fill the job description. We both thought this was a funny joke. Somehow, through a series of evolutions and events I have become the Wicked Stepmother. My goal with this blog is to figure out how I lost so much of myself, to reconnect with my joy and hopefully to reverse the process that created the wicked stepmother in me.
