		<description><![CDATA[This fall, we went out into the woods to get firewood. While we were there, I loved the way these beech trees sort of created a natural grandstand. I decided to take the family photo there. In back we have Steve and Linda (me). In the front row, the children are arranged in birth order [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My middle daughter has a problem lying convincingly. She cannot keep a straight face while lying. As her mother, I appreciate this trait. Today, we were watching the Ellen show, and they were mentioning their upcoming guests. They showed Wanda Sykes&#8217; photo, and my daughter said, &#8220;Hey, I know her.&#8221; Me: I know her too.

		<description><![CDATA[Once in a while, my children start to get a little big for their britches and say things like how horrible it is to have to have their mother as a friend on facebook. This usually happens after I correct their spelling in &#8220;facebook public.&#8221; I&#8217;m so embarrassing! I know. How horrible for them. Except, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Three girls and a boy with just one bathroom? I knew years ago that formula would not work. A second bathroom was a dream that I knew had to be a reality before the girls reach the teen years. Luckily, it became a reality just in time. What I didn&#8217;t realize, however, was that two [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was the question of a recent blog in the New York Times. It seems like a straight-forward question, but it isn&#8217;t. There are a lot of factors that I believe should go into that answer. A bad grade or even a fairly decent grade should be punished if the student has missing assignments. When [...]]]></description>

For the first time ever, at the ages of 15, 13 and 11, my children went door to door shouting, &#8220;Trick or Treat&#8221; and collecting pillowcases of candy. No, I am not exaggerating. My children have never gone door to door for candy before. [...]]]></description>

I tried, but other people keep interrupting and making demands on my time, and it is hard to get away and steal a moment or two. I had high hopes for today, but they were shot down by a 13-year-old who thinks she wants [...]]]></description>

She is hindered, however, by our electric fence. She still does what she can, which is start at one corner of our yard and runs the length to the other end, barking [...]]]></description>

As any good mother would do, I shall fulfill it! I have three daughters, and my daughters are good looking girls, which means there are boys. Currently, all three girls are [...]]]></description>

Her dad was on call, and I was free from obligations, so I gathered up the rest of the children, and we went camping to be with my husband. The oldest daughter had to work, so she stayed home. Eventually, her siblings had responsibilities too, [...]]]></description>
