		<title>Not looking at the bright side</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere between dawn and dark yesterday, the heavy weight of sadness settled over me.  And today, despite the delight of accompanying my baby girl on her first field trip (to the Pumpkin Patch!), I felt depressed over nothing.
When the whole world goes gray with emotional storm clouds, I survey my interior.  Why do [...]]]></description>

		<title>Where I was over the weekend</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I spent the weekend in 2004.  My twins were 10, then 11.  My baby boy was 5, almost 6.  My baby girl was picking her nose or biting a finger while she waited to turn 2.
No, it wasn&#8217;t time travel.  I spent the weekend scrapbooking pictures from four years ago.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>A post that is barely better than no post at all</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My television set is dead.  Unrepairable.  While I was at Wal-Mart today buying a dust-pan, I wandered by the televisions to see how much money I would have to produce to be able to watch television in comfort and style again.  (The small t.v. in the living room is so far from [...]]]></description>

		<title>Vacant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s 12:32 a.m., though the kitchen clock reads 12:38 a.m.  I&#8217;m afraid to fix that clock because I am so used to it running five minutes fast.  I have no idea why it started to rush ahead.  We&#8217;re in no hurry here.  Well, I&#8217;m in no hurry.
At this time of night, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Product Review:  Spot Shot</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have three boys, a girl and three vomiting cats.  That&#8217;s why I know that Spot Shot carpet cleaner really works.  I became a loyal customer years ago after my cousin recommended this product.
Now, however, it not only gets out stains in the carpet, but it is also non-toxic and biodegradable.  This [...]]]></description>

		<title>Weekend Update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday.  What did we do yesterday?  I began the day attempting to sleep in, but my daughter had other plans, including a bath and a dozen questions.  By the time my soaking wet husband and muddy 10-year old returned home from his football game, Grace and I were ready to head out in a quest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Public Service Announcement</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Fruit flies flitted about my house this week.  I blame the bananas.
But fruit flies are no match against a housewife with access to Google.
Here is the quickest, easiest way to get rid of them:  Pour a little red wine vinegar (or balsamic, but white won&#8217;t work) in a cup.  Add a drop of dishwashing liquid.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>My daughter, myself</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For a decade, give or take ten minutes, I tried to mold my twin boys into my image.  They have resisted all efforts and insist on being their own unique selves.  I thought I had simply failed to try hard enough, that I did not repeat myself enough, or reinforce positive behaviors enough.
And [...]]]></description>

		<title>Wrinkles and little uninvited purple veins</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Mom,&#8221; she said, &#8220;When I&#8217;m an old lady will you be dead?&#8221;
Alas, that&#8217;s probably true because I was at an &#8220;advanced maternal age&#8221; when I gave birth to her after a quick labor.  (She was born at home, a fact I am inordinately proud of, a fact that does not come up in casual [...]]]></description>

		<title>Blog Tour:  Woogi World</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My six-year old has been using the computer since she was three years old.  While we do have our favorite sites, I&#8217;m always happy to hear about new online destinations for kids.  One of the latest is Woogi World, a virtual world where kids can play games online, complete tasks offline and do [...]]]></description>
