sounding agitated, merinda called in the morning to enquire if i was able to get staff discounts for the painkillers at my pharmacy. my first thought was she's plotting a muder on her step-daughter.
but it turned out that cinderella fell recently at a party and sprained her ankle. poor girl. worse still, she broke merinda's favourite jimmy choos (for goodness sake) and left the broken one half at the party (she could have given the shoes to me! i could get it mended!)
i promised her i'll check.afterall she's part of the 'stepmums anonymous' club in the community, a self-help group that works on peer encouragement for, who else, stepmothers.
dorothy woods, editor of Mom's Fashion magazine and stepmom of twin (hansel and gretel) is the president for this workyear. we hold monthly meetings to discuss and exchange on family/financial matters, but mostly turned out to be a gossip broadcasting centre on all othermoms in the neighbourhood. i still attend the sessions religiously(almost), i still am a believer that birds of feather flock together.
stepmums unite!
