Do you ever feel like you are living in a blender?
I can remember feeling like that before I became part of a blended family, but is sure has gotten stronger since we did this.
Some days are amazingly awesome, other days are okay, and then still they might be few and far between, but there are even the really crappy days. Thankfully, they really don’t happen too often.
The weird part is, that the crappy days we have, seem to be more like an average parents bad days, rather than being directly related to our blended family. Yay for that!
Anyway, life in a blender is full of surprises. You never know whats going to come pouring on you next. And how you handle it, depends on the speed of the blades.

There are seven of you! Wow, I’m impressed. Adding two boys to my mix seemed tough.
I do agree that blended is full of surprises. I’ve learned a lot about myself being thrown into the mix and I continue to look for the humor in it all. I tell myself that if I can laugh my way through it, I’ll survive.
Just found your blog. Nice job.

Yup, seven of us! Yeehaw. Seriously though, most of the time it’s GREAT! In fact, better than great - I love having a large family. I went from two kids to five. Big jump. LOL
The weekend was good, so the blender feeling left for awhile. But I’m sure it will rear its ugly head again.
I’m glad you found me, I’ve read you a couple of times, but it was before I put bloglog and cataglog on here. LOL Now I’m meeting new people and am really glad I did it.
It’s nice to have a “friend” who knows what its like. And reading your blog, wow - I can so relate!
