		<description><![CDATA[Being a step dad is a full time job, even if you don&#8217;t have the kid&#8217;s full time.  It&#8217;s not always easy finding things to do with them, especially with our restricted budget.  Fairs are great fun, but can run up to 40-50 bucks for a few quick rides and some ice-cream.  A movie is terrible [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, remember those days sitting in the classroom with everyone including the teacher staring at the wall clock waiting for that final bell to ring, the sweat dripping from your forehead and back because the AC wasn't on.  And all you can think about is getting out for the ENTIRE summer.  Tic toc tic toc tic toc...  The seconds just keep plucking away, and you finally realize just how much time you spend in each classroom.  And finally it happens, the bell rings.  You run out to your locker, pull everything out and dump it on the floor and head for the door.  We were all set up for disappointment it seems... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Every weekend we make a family trip to the local library (Island Trees Public Library).  Danielle, our 17 year old, love to read.  She usually gets at least 3 books every time we go, and she finishes them all every time.  I enjoy reading, but I couldn't possible gobble up a book the way she does.  Our youngest, the 8 year old, usually gets a few books but then doesn't touch them till it's time to take them back.  This past week however I picked up The Neverending Story by Michael Ende.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Father's Day.  It's a big deal for all the dads out there, and a huge question mark for all us step fathers.  We're never quite sure where we fit into the father's day puzzle. Sure, we celebrate Fathers, Grand Fathers, God Fathers, but do we celebrate Step Fathers?  All the others have been there since day one, but we step fathers...  We haven't.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Before I start giving any advice or anything I should probably tell you all a little about me and why anyone should take anything I have to say seriously.  First off, don't take anything I say too seriously.  I know what I know from my own experience, and just because it worked for me doesn't mean it will work for you.  There's no guarantees in life, and doubly so online.  Now that that's out of the way... ]]></description>
