		<title>Jealous&#8230;of my kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be the first to admit I have never, except for a brief period in my early-20s, been an athletic person. &#160;Why is it, then, I find myself feeling pangs of jealousy toward my daughters and their activities? As I write this evening, I am sitting on the sidelines of Court B at our YMCA [...]]]></description>

		<title>the favorite child &#8211; a lesson from my father</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While reading an article at Better Way Moms about&#160;&#8221;Playing Favorites,&#8221;&#160;I found my thoughts transported to a time about nine years ago. I stood in the back porch/mudroom of my childhood home. My daddy was holding me as I sobbed, heartbroken, over something&#8230;the details of which are unimportant today. As he held onto me, Dad said [...]]]></description>

		<title>having a yard sale. No, a yard giveaway</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Maybe I&#8217;m crazy for doing this. Some people think I&#8217;ve lost my mind. This Saturday and Sunday I am pulling a bunch of stuff out of my garage and basement. I&#8217;m putting signs on the street corner. I&#8217;m giving everything away.&#160; Yes. Giving. As in, &#8220;I haven&#8217;t used or needed this in 4 years. Please [...]]]></description>

		<title>only 10 shopping days left before school starts again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where did the summer go? To me, it feels like the seasons fly by faster every year. It&#8217;s the 5th of August and our schools start back on the 16th. Silly if you ask me! Temperatures rose well above 100° this week, and we&#8217;ll continue to have hot weather for several more. What happened to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Snaps for Lexi</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s something about my daughters&#8217; birthdays that makes me all sentimental. Alexia turned 7 on Friday (July 31), and I spent a lot of time last week reflecting. I have a great kid. Despite her ADD and ability to zone off into never never land, Lexi is awesome. &#160;I don&#8217;t give her enough credit. She&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>mom of the year I am not</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last week of the softball season, and I am a mixed basket of emotion about it. On one hand, I&#8217;m glad Lexi has only one more game to play. On the other, I&#8217;d like to play more. Last night was an oddly-scheduled Monday night game; we usually play on Tuesday and Thursday. &#160;Even so, it [...]]]></description>

		<title>new job day 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So here I thought I had an office job. Yeah&#8230;partly, but not 100%. I kinda forgot that Bombardier has a service center right on site. And, well, we support all of the service centers. The guys here think we need to come crawl around on the plane. Not such a big deal. Unless you&#8217;re me&#8230;the [...]]]></description>

		<title>new adventures</title>
		<description><![CDATA[At 8:30 on Thursday morning, another round (4th&#8230;5th? I&#8217;ve losy track) of layoffs was announced at work. I didn&#8217;t make this round unscathed. Don&#8217;t panic but&#8230;as of Monday, I&#8217;ll no longer be a Liaison Engineer within the completions group. I&#8217;m moving to customer support engineering where they fix in-service airplanes. It&#8217;s technically a lateral, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>technical difficulties and forgetfulness</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When my domain hosting at (unnamed company dot com) contract expired in the middle of March, I forgot to renew. Whoops. Then life got in the way and it was the last thing on my mind. Blogging wasn&#8217;t at the top of my list of things to do. And I really didn&#8217;t think about it. [...]]]></description>
