Welcome to Oz

Where to start? Where is Oz...well that's for me to know and you to figure out if you really want...have fun. I plan to tell the story of my blended family's life.

Introductions:

I'm Dorothy, 34 years old and pretty much all over the place at this point in my life. Once strong, confident, happy go lucky I'm now confused, insecure and bitchy...yes I said bitchy.

The Wizard, my husband of 8months and father of three..well four if you count the Tin Man (my son), successful business man on many levels, great lover, great father with emotions and passions coming and going on regular intervals....just wait, you're in for the ride of your life.

Tin Man, my 16 yr old son who up until 2 years ago lived with my mother and step-father....long story really short, I was 17 when I gave birth and 19 when I made the decision that my son deserved better than any 19 year old could give. He has been my light and love for so very many years and he's been the only steady man in my life for all the years of his life.

Lion, 11 going on 20 stepdaughter, who loves to shop, play sports and gossip. Love her to pieces 90% of the time but there are moments where we really clash.

Scarecrow, soon to be 9 yr old stepdaughter and my unlikely ally. I love this little one even though she challenges me in new ways; she is the skater dude, athletic girl in the house.

Munchkin, the youngest of the four and he'll be four in a few months, shortly after our 1st wedding anniversary. He's the clown of the group, always entertaining, he loves all of us equally....it's really amazing!

Wicked Witch of the West (or East or wherever the hell she is)....Ok, I'll be nice since this is the first post. Best description, bipolar, victim who loves to spend money like it comes out of a faucet. I was nice!

Glenda has been our nanny for almost two years, the first one didn't have the strength to handle the Lion and the Scarecrow who if you let them will bulldoze you. But Glenda has lasted nicely, we've had our ups and downs and difficulties but she's good, really good and she provides something that the Wizard, Witch and I cannot, a constant prescence; she travels between homes since the Wizard and the Witch have shared parenting (7 days 'on' and 7 days 'off'). She is also a spy for me :)

There you have it, the brief introduction to what will be a very interesting story....

  1. Glenda - hope she's just a spy for YOU

  2. Ya, I thought about that too but I guess if she is spying for the Witch she's only telling her we're too strict and we already get accused of that from the Lion. I need to post about Glenda...she pissed me off Friday, LOL
