		<description><![CDATA[I used to hate to cry.  I used to never want to cry in front of people, so I&#8217;d go take a shower, just because a wet face can hide the tears. But, since the moment I held my son for the first time (8 years ago from Thursday!), I have been like a faucet. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Does this sound familiar to you? You&#8217;re breastfeeding your 8 week old when your 2 1/2 year old screams for help from the bathroom. Of course, without thinking twice, you run to the bathroom with your boob hanging out (passing all the open blinds on your windows, and giving your mailman a treat) with your [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[5 pee sticks later and a lot, and I mean a lot of tears, I can announce that I’m not pregnant. I had convinced myself, which is becoming a pattern lately, that I was pregnant. I had every symptom imaginable and I “felt” pregnant. I kept telling my husband that I would totally and utterly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In no way, shape or form am I comparing my daughter to a &#8220;Sour Patch Kid,&#8221; but the behavior comparison is sometimes very similar. The hitting, followed by a hug. The pinch of the leg followed by a &#8220;Love you Daddy!&#8221; The submission of the cat followed by a &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry kitty.&#8221; I know that [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is one of my longer, and more serious posts.  You&#8217;ve been warned. Last week, at my first post-natal appointment, with sincere compassion, my OBGYN asked, &#8220;So, how are you feeling now?&#8221; I replied, &#8220;So much better.  Still not awesome, but way better.&#8221; I wasn&#8217;t going to share my experience with Post-Partum Depression (PPD) until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It’s that time of year—Prom! From the dress to the shoes and hair to makeup, it all has to be discussed, tried out, redone and then Instagramed. For most girls, it’s not who you’re taking; it’s what you’re wearing, and making sure nobody has the same dress. That’s why as soon as we found a [...]]]></description>

I merely look at the slow deterioration of my children, home and what little is left of my mind to know the end is near.
