Well folks this is a fascinating way to live! Who has time for sexual jealousy? Not me! I'm too busy trying to move in, blend my stuff with what's here already, fit in, make my mark somehow (lol sorry I'm that kinda gal) and getting used to a house full of teenagers and babies! (1 hubby, 3 wives, a 24 year old with a wife and 2 babies, and 2 teenage boys and their assorted friends!)
I have to admit, I'm craving that house out back for my own but time will tell what happens.

So...schedules have been more or less worked out! 2 nights each, Sunday family night and a toss up for the sleeping arrangement. I would prefer that family night be included in the sleeping schedule the way they do on BL, so if it doesn't work out I'll lobby for that.

R and I do all the cooking and we have our own schedul of rotation for that chore. S is supposed to do the bulk of the housework but T and I help when we can. R does the outside stuff, mowing etc.

I keep saying this is like living in a college dorm. It's actually more like living on a hippy commune. I figure since I'm the only one here who was alive and of age during that era I should be able to make this work quite well. What do you think?
Right now, my cooking challenge is cooking for 10 instead of 1 or 2 or as in the old days 4. 10 is a huge number of chicken legs and two pounds of pasta instead of 1 and so forth. My beef stew didn't quite make it because my proportions were all off. That kind of thing messes with my head

ohhh there have been more surprises!! good ones!

Yesterday R bought an above ground pool so I can have the water I need and swimming and the whole family can enjoy it too...AND, night before last he got me a car! Not a brand new car but a really nice car nontheless. A sexy red saturn sports coupe! He got such a good deal on it I'm amazed, but then it's Texas and it's definitely cheaper to live here in almost everyway.

We've only had one "fight" and it wasn't all that bad. The thing I didn't like though about the making up was he sent S into my room to calm me down! wow, that was a shockaroo. lol..it worked though so who am I do complain.

S isn't used to a schedule so she's a little whiney. She'll get over it if I have to hit her on the head with it lol.

What we've sort of worked out about the schedule is that if it's your night, R spends some out of the bedroom time with you even if it's only a couple of hours in front of the television. Hopefully, that will work. I'm a firm believer in TIME alone that isn't in a bed!He's a little shaken about it lol oh well, poor man. He'll love it in the end I think. And it's really better for the separate relationships.

All and all this is a good experience thus far and I'm of the mind that I will be even happier than I had hoped Above all else, R is a very fair person and he is trying very hard to help me fit in and feel loved by everyone.

Oh btw, I think they are getting sick of my Italian food so if ya'll have any menu ideas for teenagers let me know ok? just kidding!
