		<description><![CDATA[&#160; Mid-life is a really complicated time. I suspect it is for many women.  I am done (thankfully!) with all of the physical work involved in caring for young children.  These children are now teens and the work involved is mostly mental and emotional.  They think I should be completely done with looking after them, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday was the first Mother’s Day that I have not ended up yelling at my kids. And crying at some point. At dinner, I told them this was my best Mother’s Day ever and they said, “yeah, that’s because you didn’t cry!” Mother’s Day is usually a high-stakes day. Even though I try not to, [...]]]></description>

Yes, you, the college graduate who has no idea where to find a job. And yes, even you, the at-home mom. Not an elevator pitch – which you might use to sell a product or service – a simple [...]]]></description>

I have come to see that this is very lucky for me, because he would rather deal with me (being the work-in-progress that I am), than trade me in for a newer, younger, less troublesome girlfriend. Given his druthers, he prefers his routines and a set way of doing most things. Especially in the morning. [...]]]></description>
