		<description><![CDATA[I am going to be a grandma. I will turn 41 in August and could be a grandma by that time, or within a month anyway. The baby is due Sept. 5. Being a grandma made me think of what I want to be called. There is already a Grandma Sherwood in our family, and [...]]]></description>

Life sucks, and she cannot wait to move the hell out of her home where she hasn&#8217;t been happy for a very long time because, hello, her parents suck. They do mean things. For instance, they yell at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Driving to work this morning, I listened to Finster (of WKLT&#8217;s Omelette and Finster) complain about his stepkids snooping after his wife wrapped up presents and put them under the tree. Finster described a scene I was pretty familiar with &#8212; kids counting and shaking the various presents as they wonder what the packages might [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mornings have become a battle ground at my house, but it isn&#8217;t because of any of the usual things (wearing someone else&#8217;s clothes, grabbing the last pop tart, getting in someone&#8217;s way, stealing mom&#8217;s socks, not getting ready, failing to get out of bed, etc.). My oldest child, 17, has to drive to school at [...]]]></description>

It hasn&#8217;t been that long since my new Kindle Fire arrived. I have barely had any time to play with it, and some of my children hadn&#8217;t even [...]]]></description>

If my daughters do not clean their room soon, I am going to have to take drastic measures because the state of their room is messing with my mind. The other day, my oldest daughter asked if her boyfriend could [...]]]></description>

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>

When he was done cutting up wood-stove size pieces, it was the job of the rest of us to pick it up and put it into the truck. This happened [...]]]></description>
