		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s a weird thing but sometimes I think to myself: Thank God it&#8217;s Monday!
We had a bit of an episode this weekend with Kimmie, resulting in bad fright for yours truly.
This is a situation that gets you a case of Mixed Feelings.
First, you&#8217;re frightened.
If you&#8217;re anything like me (and maybe even if you&#8217;re not), you&#8217;re [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, now that that&#8217;s done.
I am facing what I call a monumental challenge.
I have a daughter who (a) has ADHD, (b) is an introvert (making her susceptible to overstimulation), and (c) is probably gifted. Yes, we&#8217;re talking about Kimmie.
Did you know that there are a lot of characteristics (or symptoms, depending on your orientation) often [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[David is back, in more ways than one. We brought him home on Thursday and we celebrated his birthday yesterday. He&#8217;s a legal adult now. It&#8217;s a very strange thing when your first baby crosses that threshhold. It&#8217;s even stranger when they have the kind of challenges David has. I still haven&#8217;t figured out how [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[What&#8217;s going to get me through the night is laundry and then sleep.
Tomorrow morning, Gino and I jump in the car, drive out to Ithaca and retrieve our first born male child.
David is coming home. And he is much, much better. These new meds are kickin&#8217;! More tomorrow.
Tonight, I have a feeling I&#8217;m going to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Talked to David this evening. He sounds sooo much better! He sounds cheerful and really alert and &#8230; alive!!! He hasn&#8217;t sounded like that in years. We didn&#8217;t hear from the doctor today but if what he sounds like on the phone is any indication, he may be home sooner than I had dared to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Gino and I went to see David this evening. He still doesn&#8217;t seem to want much of anything except to come home.
Well, that&#8217;s not entirely true. He asked for pictures of us all. And he said when he comes home, he wants a chocolate milkshake and an evening of Diablo II with all of us.

and it doesn&#8217;t help to know
that you&#8217;re so far away
