nice to meet you

Hi, I’m Jenny and welcome to my blog. In this post, I want to share with you some of the highlights and challenges of my life so far, and how I’m trying to find my purpose and happiness in this world.

I’m almost 34 years old and still struggling to figure out my life. Aren't we all? I’ve gone to school for a diploma program in Medical Laboratory Technician/Phlebotomy, a diploma program for Accounting Technician, and started my Human Resource Management diploma program too. I’ve always wanted to be an RN but, life and my body had other plans for me. I’ve always been interested in learning new things and pursuing different careers, and I've finally found one which fulfills me. I have a really good job now, but I’m not really supposed to talk about what I do so I’m going to leave that part out, but it’s finally something I’m good at and something I enjoy doing. It pays well and gives me flexibility and stability. It also challenges me and allows me to use my skills and creativity.

I have a husband who I’ve been with for 10 years now. Jason has helped me grow into a much better person and loves me unconditionally. He supports me in everything I do and encourages me to follow my dreams. I have 2 stepsons who have given me a run for my money but I still love them both at the end of the day. They are growing up so fast and I’m proud of the young men they are becoming. After an incredibly challenging fertility journey, I have my almost 5 year old daughter who is bright, caring, funny, and wise beyond her years. She is the light of my life and the reason I smile every day. I always tell her she saved my life, and it's true, but I won't tell her how until she's much older.

I have a passion for traveling and exploring new places. We try to do a big family vacation once a year and just this year decided that one trip a year should be spent nurturing our relationship. I love animals and have two dogs and three cats who keep me company and make me laugh. I’m on a journey to self love after spending my entire life as an overweight underdog. I’ve struggled with my body image and self-esteem for as long as I can remember, but I’m learning to accept myself and love myself for who I am. I have a daughter now, and I owe it to her to be kind to myself as the way I behave in front of her will be a reflection of how she treats her own body.

I live with many invisible illnesses both mentally and physically but try my best to get through every day. Some of the conditions I deal with are anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, insulin resistent PCOS, Chronic Kidney Disease, chronic fatigue syndrome, migraines, and more. Yeah, I know, it fucking sucks. But, I'm definitely not here to gain pity for my health problems. By looking at me, you'd think the only problem I'd had in my life was enjoying one too many cheeseburgers. Some days are better than others, but some days are really hard. I try to be positive and optimistic, but sometimes I feel hopeless and overwhelmed. I’m grateful for the support of my family, friends, doctors, therapists, and online communities who help me cope and understand that I’m not alone.

I grew up in Guelph, Ontario and ventured back to Sudbury, Ontario after leaving my now ex-husband which was the best decision I’ve ever made. He was an interesting choice to say the least, and for the longest time I felt so trapped. It took me a long time to gather the courage to leave him, but when I did, I felt free and empowered. It was a turning point in my life that led me to meet my current husband and start a new chapter.

I’m thankful for this beautiful life I live. It’s not perfect, but it’s mine. And it’s full of love, laughter, learning, adventure, growth, gratitude, and hope. Thank you for reading this post even though you're probably rolling your eyes at yet another new overnight brainchild. But I'm going to try to use this as an outlet to heal and grow from the shit life throws my way, and hopefully inspire others to do the same along the way.

It takes many episodes of The Crowded Room to learn which room is crowded and who’s in the room. We only talk about the first episode of the critically panned Tom Holland starrer AppleTV+ show, but from rage to abuse to disappointment, we found plenty to talk about.

Welcome to my blog, I don't have all the answers, my journey isn't perfect but follow along as this bonus mum navigates the difficult world of being a step-parent in today's world.

[the-bubbly-queen]

I’m crushing on all the bonus moms, especially my sister-in-love @chelsypopz 💕 You are making a big and positive impact in my niece’s life, I see how you love and care for her as your own. I just want to say thank you, from the bottom of my heart. My brother is blessed to have you as a bonus mom to Nno. The way Nno and Kulu are inseparable, it’s absolutely heart warming. It’s been said that “a child cannot have too many people who love them and want to help them succeed” and I’m glad that you are one of the many people who love our children. I became a bonus mom in my early 20s just like you and I want to share with you some of the things I’ve learned: 🥂 God choses us and he’s the one that will get you through everything. It’s not going to be easy, only God knows your heart and He will give you the strength, wisdom and bring the right people to help you navigate this. God will never give you a load you can’t carry. 🥂You are the step-parent, not @ph_rawx so he’s not always going to understand the frustration, resentment and exclusion you will sometimes feel. Let him know how you feel and if he’s my mother’s child, I know he will always put you first and make you feel the opposite. 🥂 Just like no-one ever fantasises about becoming a stepmom, the children never dream of their parents to split and have stepparents instead. But, you are the adult in this situation, so do the best you can and let your guy do the rest. One day when she’s older, she will walk a mile in your shoes and realise you made stilettos look so sexy when they were hurting AF!! There’s so much I’ve learned from this experience, I’ve grown in many ways and I do thank God for choosing me to be a bonus mom. You got this girl, and when you think you don’t got it, I’m here for you🥂 🍾 @paulrenemcc 📍 @bigbadwolfeatery 🥂 @thebubblycircle #TheBubblyQueen #EffervescentlyYours #sunXyne #PursueWithPassion #CelebrateHer #LetYourLightShine #LetMyLightShine #BonusMom #StepMom #BlendedFamily #FauxMom #StepParent #Family #FamilyAffair #FamilyValues #YoursAndOurs #YoursMineAndOurs #MineYoursAndOurs #Sisters #SisterInLove #Celebrate #Celebration #CelebrateYou #CelebrateMe #CelebrateNow https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce1WYJmjxAn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

since dumpy is jack and rhys' child it only makes sense that gortys is rhys and fiona's

#based on those facebook posts of stepparents asking people to photoshop their stepkids out of family photos </3 #borderlands #tales from the borderlands #rhys strongfork #handsome jack #loader bot #gortys #dumpy #rhack #fanart #not gonna tag rhy/iona cause fiona isnt in this BUT ITS IMPLIED OBV

[bethanydelleman]

My very specific narrative catnip is stepparents who love their stepchildren with their whole hearts and stepchildren who consider their stepparent to be superior to their deadbeat biological parent and who tell them that out loud. And this doesn't have anything to do with my childhood AT ALL.

#tropes we love #good stepparents #very specific type of found family #silas marner #the tenant of wildfell hall #castaway diva

This was all I needed, they can end the show now and I'll die happy

Exactly!

lmao i know it’s 2 seasons later but it just occurred to me: what if, at the beginning of s1, instead of deciding his funeral was the best way to get everyone back in one place, reginald decided to have a wedding instead

not only do we get the entertaining side-plot of this poor person reginald has bribed/blackmailed/begged to marry him For The Con, but the only reason any of the kids show up is because they got a wedding invite and immediately went “oh now this i gotta see”

#the episode is titled ''we only see each other at WEDDINGS and FUNERALS'' #i'm just saying it could have gone the other way #the umbrella academy #half the kids are there to check in with their new stepparent and make sure they're there of their own free will #''idk what he told you but you don't have to do this. say the word and i'll get you out of here'' #''no i promise i. definitely....want to...be here :) :) '' #i can't decide if it's funnier if five knew because time travel and he's already had time to adjust to this concept #so is perfectly polite and accommodating if slightly confused because the personality he built for them in his head isn't accurate #while the rest of them are going through the 5 stages of grief over discovering their dad is capable of romance #or if through some time fuckery five came from a timeline where he saw the news that reginald is dead #and then drops into the timeline in the middle of a fucking wedding and is COMPLETELY blindsided by this #but doesn't have time to deal with this shit #somehow THIS is the timeline where they do manage to prevent the apocalypse #and at the end of everything the new stepparent divorces the fuck out of reginald ASAP because holy shit they were not paid enough for this #and yet they're like ''well i did what you asked (even if you didn't mention the LOOMING APOCALYPSE) #but holy shit i'm taking these kids in the divorce because what the fuck dude what the FUCK. idc if they're all adults #they need a better family and now i'm obligated to be that for them'' #and reginald was playing fast and loose because of the LOOMING APOCALYPSE and didn't sign a prenup #so the new stepparent gets the academy (the property AND the actual kids) and reginald has to move out and live on the streets #tua meta

I just thought of the most hilarious next protagonist of Baldur's Gate saga.

(Note what most of the outcomes used as background info here come from the characters' "good" endings. Proceed with caution.)

A child of Durge and Gortash, killed inside their parent's womb when Durge denied Bhaal, resurrected alongside them by Jergal.

A child any of The Dead Three can lay a claim on because they are:

A child of previous chosen of Bane

A child of Bhaalspawn, a bhaalspawn themselves, albeit striped of that when Bhaal took his essence from Durge, killing them instantly.

DIED before even being born, so clearly Myrkul's subject.

Resurrected by Jergal, so there's ties to that as well.

Can be compelled to follow any of The Dead Three paths, or try to play them and set them against each other, or follow Jergal, or forge their own path.

Essentially a child with no fate.

Can look either as Durge (and be any race Durge presented as) or as Gortash.

The last possibility bringing unique encounters and dialogues and character never knowing they can use being Lord Gortash's child to their advantage or ppl they meet were their father's enemies and they need to dash.

Having ties to different fractions depending on who Durge romanced or if Durge not romanced anyone.

Being raised in Underdark if their parent ended up with Minthara.

Same with unascended Astarion, + lots of acquainted spawns in the Underdark.

Being raised in Hell if their parent went to Avernus with Karlach.

Being raised either in Waterdeep if Gale is their stepfather or with Duke freaking Ravengard as a step- grandfather.

Having ties with Selunites if Shadowheart is a woman they call mother.

Being raised in the nature and having Druids call them their own if Durge and Halsin were involved.

Being raised amongst githianki revolution if Lae'zel was their parent's choice of heart. Having their mother leading a rebellion against a god.

Having lots of unique content regarding that.

Possible companions include:

Arabella

Mol

Yenna

That girl who was kidnapped and eaten by auntie Ethel.

Mayrina's child.

A child of lady Janneth and Oscar.

One or several of Jaheira's grandchildren.

#bg3 #bg3 spoilers #dark urge x gortash #baldurs gate 3 spoilers #baldurs gate 3 #idk i just think it would be funny #imagine being THAT child. Your parents both fucked up tremendously and when your parent and stepparent saved the day #probably killing your father in the process #the dead three either hate your guts or try to make you their new chosen one #jergal is just...there. occasionally giving you advice. you have questions. he never answers them directly #he also never admits he is in fact Jergal #but you just know #you are in the shadow of your heroic parent and their deeds #can be either a hero greater than them or a villain worse than gortash and pre-tadpole durge combined #everyone knows your parents one or another or even the one who was the chosen of bane and died #you can decide what you think about it #imagine dame aylin just appearing one day and you're just like 'oh yeah...she's kind of my aunt? not really but she is.' #also mayrina names her child after durge. imagine traveling with a person named after your parent. awkward #imagine mystra trying to approach gale's child #or shar - shadowheart's #mizora lingers too close to wyll's special lil one and wyll choses violence

[yesistolethisurl]

playing two different playthroughs with tavs who were married (and are each other's guardians) is already interesting, but playing two different playthroughs with tavs who were married who happen to fall for the same person is a whole other ball game.

(like kudos to the writing for being so flexible that these two different personalities still gel with romancing gale but like)

even ten years after the other has passed away, their mutual questionable taste in men is still in lockstep lmao

#bg3 #baldurs gate 3 #bg3 spoilers #tav x tav #gale dekarios #gale of waterdeep #Atavian Katabast #Daisy Katabast #that and i think the pool of party members who are willing to be stepparents is smaller than a lot of people think? #even if the kids are adults now #/my posts

[twstjam]

Cael fucking raised us and you can't convince me otherwise 😭

It's literally canon

#WHY does he have to be a love interest #why can't i just simp for him as a dilf 😔 #and write fics where i become the mc's stepparent... #lovebrush chronicles #cael anselm
