		<description><![CDATA[Are you a chart mom?  A list mom?
I put everything on a chart or a list. I live by my agenda. Looking at my agenda is the first thing I look at every morning and the last thing I look at every night. I would be lost without my lists, graphs, charts, and agenda. 
I have a [...]]]></description>

We are in Ft. Lauderdale until tomorrow morning. I have had a bit of ‘bloggers-block’ lately. We have been so busy this summer. Going on trips, visiting with family, work, school, and just plain life. I was sitting in the sand with my husband watching our children run in and out of the water squealing [...]]]></description>

by children,
by the dog,
by a snoring husband,
by the neighbor’s dog.
Sometimes I wonder if I will ever sleep through the night again.
It wasn’t always this way. I used to be able to sleep through all sorts of sounds and events.
Thunderstorms and hurricanes used to be a great time to [...]]]></description>

He sat in this recliner in the corner of our room reading a book.  I looked on the floor and there was a race car, part of a train track, a sippy cup pushed under the dresser, and a white stuffed dog with a pink belt around its neck.

Have you ever heard the phrase &#8220;boy brain&#8221;?

When I was young, I used to hear my mother say this about my older brothers, and when warranted she would say it about my dad. (If you are reading this, I love you Daddy.) 
I started telling my daughter this when she would get upset about something her [...]]]></description>

You know why I&#8217;m not the only one who feels this way?
Because it&#8217;s not! It&#8217;s always happening, something is always dirty or being made dirty, something is always in need of stain treatment, something always needs folded, moved into the dryer,  or put [...]]]></description>

One of the most noted things: sleep.
When new mommies ask me what motherhood is like, I always tell them that as much as you love your children; which is unthinkable; that is just how tired you will be. It is an unimaginable exhaustion.
