S-mom Getaways
Ladies, sometimes we just need to get away.

In my own hysterical moments of blended family chaos, I often threaten to pack my bags in the middle of the night and disappear. Usually, all I really need is a night off.
I cannot recount how many times my therapist has discouraged me from going underground and starting a rebel army of disgruntled step-moms by suggesting (in her very wise, head-doctor way), “You know, if you don’t take care of yourself, you’re no good to anyone else.”
She is right, of course.
So, take a night, a day or a weekend off and treat yourself sweetly. You have my therapist’s permission to do so. And when you are sufficiently refreshed and indulged, go back home.
ATTENTION: Sassy step-moms, saucy bio-moms and single ladies about to take the marital plunge. Am I missing your favorite places to get away to? Please contribute! Send your top picks to:
