My mom was a devoted mom, but with 4 kids within 6 years, she probably went insane and wished to get out of the house. Have you ever felt that [...]]]></description>

I remember in elementary school, I wanted a pair of boots, because all my friends had boots. But my mom said they were impractical and a waste of money (she was right of course). I cried and lamented for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I  noticed that I talk quite a bit about having fun and laughter in the home.

It is understandable [...]]]></description>

Excuse This House
author unknown
Some houses try to hide the fact
That children shelter there;
Ours boasts of it quite openly;

Little smudges on the doors;
I should apologize I guess,
For toys strewn on the floor.
But I sat down with the children,
And we played and laughed and read;

There is enough bad news in the world that we don&#8217;t need our home to also be full of solemnness. Isn&#8217;t it [...]]]></description>

Is it enough to just talk about Haiti?
My son reminded me yesterday that it&#8217;s possible to feel strong emotions about a devastating situation and that in itself somehow gives us the impression that we&#8217;ve done our part. Our mere sympathy for Haiti shows that we are compassionate people, and that appeases [...]]]></description>
