Kids. Small, busy, beautiful kids.
And life. Life is happening all over the place. Including a spectacular kick in the teeth, like life can only give it. My mother-in-law is sick. In intensive care. For five weeks now. You know that oil spill thing? Seems like forever now, doesn&#8217;t it? She doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[T-rex eating a snack watching tv
and slipping to dance with the frog.
Boo-ya!
And nothing but cheetos
on the frog&#8217;s crown
and cheetos eating themselves.
Knock knock.
Who&#8217;s there?
Stick.
Stick who?
Stick again.
Thomas likes to whisper crazy things to Liz and I to text to each other. I received this as a message tonight.

		<description><![CDATA[In Golden Boy Swears I mentioned that Thomas and I have taken up wrestling as part of his nightly routine. I&#8217;m fairly certain that this new activity was prompted by Thomas, although I can&#8217;t be entirely sure. Regardless, it&#8217;s interesting because most of the time Thomas is a very sweet and loving boy.  (Except [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s such a minor thing, really. All I did was swap out one background image for another. Oh, and I tweaked a few color settings.
Caroline, in her purple pajamas, with the purple peep, is there for a reason.  So it&#8217;s still there. Probably always will be.
Anyway, it was time. For me.

But I think I may have left you hanging on a few occasions. So I thought I would use a post here to tie up some loose [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;I&#8217;m sorry I yelled at you,&#8221; I said to Liz standing there in nothing but my underwear.
I&#8217;m always loud. Nearly always obnoxious. But I&#8217;m not a yeller.  It doesn&#8217;t happen often, me yelling uncontrollably. When I yell it&#8217;s usually because I&#8217;m stuck in a stressful situation with no hope of resolution. As the stress [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s also no secret that in Thomas, Liz and I have a very astute and observant little boy. He is truly the [...]]]></description>
