1. I am old. And even though their father is (way) older than me, old is still old and I am IT.
2. Even though I am old, I'm still young enough to be (jokingly?) referred to as "sister mom."
2. Anyone under the age of 20 must be connected to a wireless device and/or computer for no less than 18 hours per day. Otherwise, there's simply no point in living.
3. Bands have formed and made music since 1997. And I've never heard of any of them.
4. Texting can, and should, be done at the speed of light. Anything slower and you're just a pussy.
and finally...
5. Showering love on their baby sister comes easily to them.
A special shout out to A (who reads this blog) and J (who probably doesn't) for being the coolest and kindest stepkids a sister mom could ever ask for.
Ahhh, seriously. You've got to be THE BEST STEP MOM EVAH. And what? Bands formed and made music since 1997? What you tawlkin' 'bout Willis?

I'd rather be called Sister Mom than a lot of other things stepkids could be calling you!
I'm amazed at the texting. Our friends had to change their phone plan because their 13-year old daughter had over 3000 texts in one month. Oy.

Your stepkids sound awesome. Mine (two teen boys)seemed determined to pit their mom against their dad and me. I was so glad when we moved out of state, though they were not the reason ;-)

Amen. A dozen times over.
Mine laugh at my musical tastes. (or, rather, ignorance)
Take a look at their MySpace pages sometime. That will REALLY make you feel old. And decidedly unhip.

I like the music one. Really? Bands after Dave Matthews exist?
