		<description><![CDATA[Merry Christmas from the Sherwood Family! It has been two years since you last heard from us because Linda was too lazy to write a Christmas letter last year (or too busy, depends on whether you believe Steve or Linda). This year, she thought she would avoid the last-minute rush by writing the letter in [...]]]></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>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone is posting their reasons for being thankful, and I decided I needed to do something a bit different. I&#8217;m going to whine about having to share. 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>

		<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>

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>

The catchy little picture makes it sound so easy, but it is anything but. I have three teenaged daughters, and I have worked hard to make them self confident and smart and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Several years ago, I interviewed a parenting expert about sibling rivalry and how to deal with the &#8220;you like her more&#8221; syndrome. Dr. Carol Maxym, author of Teens in Turmoil, suggested that a parent tells the children &#8220;I love you each most.&#8221; It isn&#8217;t grammatically correct, but it rang true with me. There are things [...]]]></description>

I would rather donate my things and get rid of them immediately then wait and have to store them until I have enough for a sale. The day after [...]]]></description>
