		<description><![CDATA[I think it is time to set a goal for myself.  It is a mental challenge that could have some good emotional rewards as well&#8230;and it needs to be done.  I am going to stop swearing.
Why?  The obvious reason is that Liz has dropped the s-bomb before.  On a deeper level, having to mentally revise [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=20&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>You know you&#8217;re a mom when&#8230;&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen this meme floating around on parenting message boards and blogs lately, so I thought I&#8217;d play.
 
You know you&#8217;re a mom when&#8230;
-You use baby talk at work:  &#8220;Sleepy Mommy needs some coffee!&#8221;
-You use sign language even when the baby isn&#8217;t around
-Within five minutes of meeting a new person, you&#8217;re opening up your wallet/cell phone/Myspace [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=18&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>24-hour Laundry</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Liz has outgrown all of her 12-month clothes.  Adding those to the pile of 6-month and 9-month clothes that we&#8217;ve been planning to donate made a huge mess of the bedroom, so much so that it created a trip hazard (and quite possibly a fire hazard, but a nice cushiony landing for the freak [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=17&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>This is what it has come down to&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A few times a week, Stephen and I sit around in the office with our Google Calendars, trying to coordinate work and days off and who&#8217;s watching Liz when; when we can run errands, who&#8217;s hanging out with friends, and who needs the car more; and whether we get to spend any time together (usually no).
This [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=16&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>How was your ride?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The ride to work was sweet. The weather was nice (didn&#8217;t even have to wear my hoodie!), the trail was pretty much clear, the wind was negligible, and I went really fast. I don&#8217;t have a speedometer, but I&#8217;m guessing my speed was somewhere around WHEEEEE!!!
The ride home was something else entirely. It started out [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=15&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>First bike commute!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I did it!
Three miles there!
Three miles back!
I almost wussed out.  I could think of a million reasons not to ride in today:  Too cold, high winds in the forecast, scratchy throat, do I really have all my stuff?, running late, and so on.  I even went as far as to ask Stephen [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=13&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Balance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For the last&#8230;month? few months? as long as I can remember, I have been working at least 48 hours a week.  This isn&#8217;t my choice; then again, it isn&#8217;t really forced overtime either.  I work a job where I feel obligated to show up and cover shifts.  If you called 911, you&#8217;d want a dispatcher [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=12&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The start of something</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After much convincing, soul-searching, and psyching up, I walked in to REI today and bought myself&#8230;a bicycle.
Starting very soon, probably this week (!!!),  I&#8217;m going to be riding to work.  It&#8217;s not that big of a deal.  It&#8217;s only a three-mile commute.  I spent all of last summer walking back and forth; I&#8217;m enamored with [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=11&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>What a stupid world.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So far, and this is just today, I&#8217;ve dealt with the following calls:
-A man threatened to blow up a hospital and was shot by police.
-A pregnant woman was assaulted and went lights-and-sirens to the hospital.
-Another pregnant woman overdosed on illegal drugs.
-A one-year-old was transported to the local pediatric hospital due to burns on his buttocks [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=10&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>An atheist&#8217;s lecture on religious tolerance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was raised without religion.
My husband was raised Mormon, but it didn&#8217;t stick.  He&#8217;s an atheist.  The contact I have with his family, combined with my experience in EMS (first as an EMT, now dispatching) and the fact that I live in the United States of America, has exposed me to many different [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=girljen.wordpress.com&blog=3134092&post=9&subd=girljen&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
