You don’t understand, no-one does. When a woman makes the choice to marry, to have children; in one way her life begins but in another way it stops. You build a life of details. You become a mother, a wife and you stop and stay steady so that your children can move. And when they leave they take your life of details with them. And then you’re expected move again only you don’t remember what moves you because no-one has asked in so long. Not even yourself. You never in your life think that love like this can happen to you. -Francesca, Bridges of Madison County

SPF: Step Son Suggestions

27 September, 2005 /

I am so excited! My step son, Ryan (Dan’s son) has a computer now and we got to chat the other night.
He’s so funny. I had no idea he got his dad’s sense of humor and made it better.
I told him I was trying to think up some idea’s for this thing I do on my blog.
He then says, “Oh SPF?”

Dear God in Heaven, my step son reads my blog. After I cleaned up after wetting myself, I told him I was sorry for any bad-mouthing of his father I might have done. He just laughed. I don’t think he holds it against me, he has had to put up with him for 15 years too.

So, this week we dedicate SPF to my step son, Ryan. He came up with the ideas.

SEPT 30th

1. Something in your house that isn’t where it should be.

2. Something you broke, but kept it.

3. Food that you have in your house that you never eat (or drink)

Internet, meet my step son, Ryan.
