		<title>On Getting Married Pregnant</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Hold the phone. You heard me right. I was a pregnant bride. Wasn&#8217;t really planned that way, honestly, it was barely planned at all. I wasn&#8217;t prepared for the shit storm that it caused either. It&#8217;s funny how everyone else seems to have a say in something so personal. There were a lot of things [...]]]></description>

		<title>Video Games and our Kids</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been hotly debated for&#8230; well, since I started playing video games at the tender age of 3, about the effect on video games and television on children. It&#8217;s one of those things that people tend to either be on one side, the other, or straddling the middle. You either feel that no television/video games [...]]]></description>

		<title>I&#8217;m a Gamer Mom</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Much like a soccer mom, but without the minivan and the mother-of-the year award. With all the concerns over all the not-so-nice-stuff that they say video games cause, people act like you&#8217;re a horrible mom for playing one of those violence inducing, fat-making, video things. Really, I just don&#8217;t get it. I wouldn&#8217;t take my kid [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Medical Bills Attack</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, back in September K-Kitten fell and had to get two stitches. We took her to the local hospital ER and were triaged and put into a room. We waited&#8230; waited&#8230; and waited some more. We were there a total of four hours when we finally decided that at 11pm she needed to be seen. We [...]]]></description>

		<title>Things that stick with you&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[No, I&#8217;m not talking about those extra five pounds that you wake up with the day after Thanksgiving. I&#8217;m talking about those little things that you pick up over your life, habits, mannerisms, that you keep going long after the first time. Those things that you&#8217;re not exactly sure why you keep doing them, but [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I listened to a story yesterday about a young woman that gave birth at home (was unaware that she was pregnant) and was transported to a local hosptial because the baby was lethargic, they were shocked, and she had still not delieved the placenta. Emergency personnel arrived and the baby was warmed and given oxygen, [...]]]></description>

		<title>We&#8217;re not helping you have babies&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m about to lose my group health insurance through my employer. The rates are going up 35% for a $6,000 deductible HSA plan. The company cannot afford to pay it, and we have dropped below the minimum number of employees that have it to keep the group rate. I&#8217;ve been having to look into getting [...]]]></description>

		<title>A fork in the road&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Life has an uncanny way of making it difficult to know exactly where you&#8217;re going, or how you&#8217;re going to get somewhere. I&#8217;ve been trying to make my home-based business work out, however with the CPSIA, everything I&#8217;ve worked so hard at is going to be illegal or too expensive to continue if something doesn&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sex makes everything better&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve not been quite as stressed the past few days as I have been the past few months. I have to say that it is getting better, and I&#8217;m not as worried about it anymore. I was terrified that I was going to have to go back on to either anti-depressants or anti-anxiety medication again. [...]]]></description>

		<title>I think I know why&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230; I keep stopping and coming back to blogging. It&#8217;s not that I don&#8217;t love to write, or that I don&#8217;t love to put information out there that I think is important. I just feel like I keep knocking on the door an nobody&#8217;s home. I know there&#8217;s hits out there and I know people [...]]]></description>
