Thanks To Everyone On Here
I am still fairly new to this site, and I'm very new to the whole step-parent world. I apologize that I don't offer the wonderful commentary that so many on here post; at this point I don't feel that I have any of the answers. I do want to thank you though; your comments have kept me from going truly insane.
If I ever figure out any of this step-parent stuff, I'll throw in my two cents too!

Just a long rambling to try and clear my head so that I can do my paperwork.
Yesterday, when I got out of my meeting I found that CPS had tried to contact me. For some reason, they switched the case worker/social worker. This man did not have any of the information that I had given the first women. He didn't even have my husband's number. I thought this was a bit strange, but I've seen similar things happen in my company. So I gave him my husband's number and encouraged him to contact him to gather even more historical information regarding BM's past drug and alcohol abuse. He asked me if I knew where the BM was staying.
When will CPS get a clue?!?!
I am so frustrated from worry and lack of sleep this week. On Tuesday, July 8th, DH and I found out that BM had failed to pay the utilities for some time and they cut everything off. Then we found out that she was also delinquent on rent, and her phone was soon to be cut off. She of course expected us to bail her out yet AGAIN! DH told her he would get back to her. He talked with me about the situation and we both agreed that enough was enough! However, SS (4) has to have breathing treatments two times a day, so electricity is a non-negotiable.

Just A Quick Question
I'm not sure what's considered normal. I'm an only child, so my parents never had to worry about bathing me with siblings. I know that often times families with small children give them a tub bath at the same time.
My SS is 5 and my SD is 3. They are still bathing together. I told DH that I wondered if it might be time to stop this. He thinks I'm quite silly and said they are still young and it doesn't matter.

I finally stood-up to the wicked witch!
The BM is quite possibly one of the nastiest people I've met in a long time. Recently she squandered her monthly income of $2,300. She's close to being evicted from the house she rents; she has had the utilities turned off, and apparently only has $70 in the bank. My husband and I have franticly tried to figure out where she stashed the children. She would not return our phone calls, emails, or text messages.
