		<title>Changes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, STILL no final word on the refinancing.  But, more definite needs have surely arisen.  We need more space.  In approximately seven months, we&#8217;ll have a new family member to accomodate.   
This is a surprise for us.  I&#8217;m a little sensitive about certain comments about our family size.  I&#8217;m trying not to be.  I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Better Hands</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One of my favourite female singers is Natalie Grant.  If you haven&#8217;t heard her, I highly recommend you do so.  She&#8217;s got an amazing voice, and the songs are deep and rich and full.
Our band has been performing one of her songs lately.  I don&#8217;t pretend to think I sound anything like her, but I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Trying Again</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, I had a post all written up, and hit publish&#8230;it vanished.   I wasn&#8217;t having a good day, and so I just decided to forget about it, and try again today.
I have been having that annual struggle that I have &#8211; SAD.  Seasonal Affective Disorder, though I am trying to figure out if [...]]]></description>

		<title>Well&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;they said no.  To the refinancing.  BUT, the banker is appealing, so another two-day wait or so.  And if that doesn&#8217;t work, we may be able to do partial financing, which might work just as well.   The other option that we didn&#8217;t realize we had, is that as long as we stay on track with [...]]]></description>

		<title>Still No News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I am not a good wait-er.  Patience is a virtue, but not one I&#8217;ve cultivated well.  I tend to go through things like this without being terribly productive in the meantime.  I have lots to do, but actually focusing and doing it is another thing. 
Today I&#8217;m trying to get our bedroom finished.  I cleaned it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Thinking about Change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have been thinking for a while, despite my uncooperative computer(s), that I would like to start a second blog.  I have a few things dear to my heart, and I would like to have a blog about homeschooling, and keep a separate blog for &#8220;those other things.&#8221;  It&#8217;s probably going to take me a [...]]]></description>

		<title>A New Year, A New Ten Year Old, and maybe&#8230;.A New House</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I haven&#8217;t update in forever.  We had a good Christmas, but man, when did Christmas become so hard (aptly spoken by Alicia!)?  I have this inner longing for it to be something it&#8217;s not.  And I don&#8217;t know what that is.  I&#8217;m not sure I&#8217;m ready for not doing gifts and decorations and all [...]]]></description>

		<title>Birthday!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Happy 6th birthday, Brett Joseph! You are an awesome and crucial part of our family. You are cheerful and sensitive, dramatic and funny, loud and tender. Your laugh is infectious. Your ability to tell a story rivals that of an &#8220;old-timer.&#8221; You make us smile every day. WE LOVE YOU!!!

		<title>It&#8217;s Friday!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And my weekend is almost over.  I had yesterday and today off from work.  I go to work tomorrow and will be on for the next few days.  It&#8217;s a fun place to work, but oh so exhausting.  The building is so hot every night, and between the heat and the 20 or so trips [...]]]></description>

		<title>End of an Era</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ok, well maybe that&#8217;s dramatic. It&#8217;s the end of November. Which means we are further and further away from my beloved summer. And closer and closer to the LOOOONG winter ahead. I think when it comes to winter I&#8217;m a glass half-empty gal, though my tendency in most other areas of life see me as [...]]]></description>
