		<title>Snow Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[  We had the first snow day of the year today. We got all bundled up and headed outside. Jonathan saw the neighbor shoveling her driveway, so he marched on over to give her a hand. She had an extra shovel, so he did his part. What a gorgeous day today. It just snowed and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bats Are NOT Blind&#8230;who knew?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are really into bats right now and not because it&#8217;s Halloween time. Just because, that&#8217;s all. Bats are cool. The natural science museum in Denver had a bat presentation and since then we&#8217;ve been reading all we can get our hands on about those strangely adorable little flying mammals. Did you know that there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Hot Flash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I walked into the market and it was warm and sunny. When I walked out, it was gray and storming. This is how I feel lately. I am 41 years old and I am in early menopause. One night, about 21 years ago, my boyfriend and I flopped into bed after a long night of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pinball Has Arrived</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are officially basement dwellers as of this afternoon. Our two pinball machines, The Shadow and World Poker Tour, arrived today. They are rumored to be the first in a growing collection and obsession&#8230; I mean passion. So, the nice playdate we had early afternoon with new friends pales in comparison to the excitement that [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Busy Week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I had planned to write a synopsis of each day, but time really got away from me. I want to write about what we&#8217;re doing to keep a journal of sorts for myself, to let our distant families peek into our life, and to share with others interested in what a day in the life [...]]]></description>

		<title>Family Picnic Day</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We attended the Fall Blue Skies Family Picnic (unschooling group) today. It was really great to gather with a huge group of families together to share food, conversation, toys, smiles. I enjoyed having my husband be there to feel the energy of the group with which I&#8217;ve aligned our family. He felt it. Jonathan struggled [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dinner Theater</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What a fabulous balanced day of alone time, work at home, and fun family activity. We sort of slept in, which is rare, and then I took two of our dogs with me to sit outside at a cafe while I indulged in a cup of coffee. Back at the ranch, life was a bustle [...]]]></description>

		<title>Parting is Sweet Sorrow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today was the day that my son would say goodbye to his school. It was a life-altering experience, really. This was very possibly the last time he would ever go to school. Possibly. I felt the buzzing of my emotions all day as I empathized with my son&#8217;s experience. He was excited to go there [...]]]></description>

		<title>Holding Space</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another busy busy day in the Morris household. Of course the days won&#8217;t always be like this. I imagine languid cozy winter days huddled together in pajamas reading and playing cards. But for now, it&#8217;s busy. I had my therapy appointment this morning, and dear Jonathan stood there naked holding his stuffed monkey, Steve, announcing [...]]]></description>

		<title>“I&#8217;m not sad at all”</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jonathan and I slept on the living room floor last night on our leftover cozy camp-in spot from last Saturday night. As usual, the awakening was too early for me. My sweet hungry boy caressed my face and said that I could go ahead and sleep. He was going to make himself some breakfast. He [...]]]></description>
