		<description><![CDATA[What time is it?!?  Oh, hell, is Saturday already mostly gone?  I haven&#8217;t even started doing the dishes and that was only the first little thing on the list.  Let&#8217;s see, I did do the things at the end of the list already; The non-critical ones.  I went to the farmer&#8217;s market because that&#8217;s fun [...]]]></description>

		<title>See?  This Is What Happens When You Have ADHD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been weeks since our last posting.  Did you see how Jamama posted like crazy for a while and then just sort of dropped off?  It&#8217;s not that she lost interest, or forgot about the blog&#8230;neither did I.  It&#8217;s just that life - or lifestyle - is notoriously unsympathetic toward those with ADHD.  At least [...]]]></description>

		<title>Search For The Perfect Electronic Calendar</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know Jamama thinks she&#8217;s the only one for whom the perfect calendar is some sort of holy grail.  Not so!  I too am constantly looking for a calendar that will seamlessly address the following needs:

Free (or incredibly cheap)
Supports multiple calendars (Tim, Family, Work, etc.)
Calendar stored locally
Syncs with Windows Mobile Handheld
Syncs with Google Calendar
Supports category [...]]]></description>

		<title>Do what I say, not what I&#8230;  What was I saying?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The background: At a recent Saturday swim meet, Row&#8217;s coach commented on the amount of time it took to track Row down for his races.
The scene: Wednesday Night Swim Meet
The action: Row is sent to the &#8220;clerk of course&#8221; - but loses his way - twice.  So Tim and I physically walk with him [...]]]></description>

		<title>I love my labeler 2.  And chore charts.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ask Tim.  I have invented no less than 20 versions of a &#8220;chore chart&#8221; for each of us.  I&#8217;ve tried this software, laminated picture charts, flat-out bribes, point systems, a game called &#8220;Chore Chore Revolution&#8221; and more.  For example, here&#8217;s a picture of the sticker chore game-board we used to use.  [...]]]></description>

		<title>Book Review:  The Myth of Laziness (Mel Levine)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Mel Levine seems like such a nice, empathic guy.  The way he writes about the struggles that students have makes me wish I could go to him and have him solve the puzzle of all of my challenges.  Maybe most importantly, I want Dr. Levine to explain those challenges to me in a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Transitions Stink</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Holy cow.  Grr arrgh.  Poop.
It&#8217;s not like it&#8217;s a surprise.  Last week someone said, &#8220;Are you looking forward to summer?&#8221; and I replied with some hedging about how summer might be nice after the transition to summer, which would be a drag, as it always is.  It&#8217;s not specific to summer. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To me, the very worst place in the whole wide world is the grocery store.  I hate it almost as much as laundry.  First, there&#8217;s the trying to figure out what we&#8217;ll eat for the week.
Jamama: What do you want to eat this week?

		<title>Book Review: Understanding Girls with AD/HD (Kathleen Nadeau, Ellen Littman &#038; Patricia Quinn)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Girls are underdiagnosed with ADHD because, very often, their symptoms are not as recognizable and/or as annoying as the symptoms in boys.  Nadeau, Littman, &#38; Quinn state,
Girls, through biology and socialization, tend to be less active, more compliant, and less aggressive&#8230; Girls who are distracted, disorganized, quiet daydreamers receive less attention from parents and [...]]]></description>
