Step-Children

Well, meeting the kids went just fine. They are surprisingly well-behaved, but of course could also just be on their best behavior for their dad and new step-mom. My husband will go pick them up from Grandma and Grandpa's house this afternoon and we will most likely have them until we take them back home on Saturday. They have spent the past few days with their sister (or half-sister) Olivia at her house. It just seems so odd to me to have Steve's (2nd) ex-wife so involved in what seems to be every aspect of our life. She's not a bad person, a tad annoying sometimes, but otherwise a good person. It's just that she still seems to be so involved with the family. I know a great deal of this is because they have a child together who we still see regularly, but it's just very strange. It strikes at that jealousy chord again I suppose. I did end up with a migraine on Saturday night after all the hustle and bustle with the kids and my husband was sweet enough to get them out of the apartment so I could rest. Then when they got home he came into the bedroom where I was resting with a big grin on his face and said that he brought me ice cream home. Ok, so he still has a thing or two to learn about migraines. I love him all the same. And the kids had a great Harry Potter/ice cream party while I slept off the migraine. Hopefully the kids will be back and the migraine will stay away now!
