		<title>Lost without my computer!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t been blogging lately. I&#8217;ve certainly missed it! But, alas, my computer died the big death. It could not be revived. And, you know how we&#8217;ve been advised to back up our data? I didn&#8217;t.  So much of my writing, artwork and other materials has been lost in the digital black hole. After complaining [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=123&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>One Step at a Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some days I have no idea what I&#8217;m doing. I try to be a decent mother, wife, woman, but I&#8217;m not always sure how. Take my son &#8212; great kid. Handsome. Talented. About as interested in scholastics as my left shoe. And I want great stuff for him. I want him to have options. To [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=119&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>You Gotta Show Up</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday my son called me before basketball practice. &#8220;I don&#8217;t think I can make it,&#8221; he moaned. &#8220;Everything hurts! I can&#8217;t even move my legs!&#8221;  Basketball season has just started and the coach has been working the guys hard. Drills. Suicides (he&#8217;s described them to me, but I can&#8217;t remember exactly what they are now [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=114&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Kid who O-D&#8217;d</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My son&#8217;s best friend ended up in the hospital last weekend. He&#8217;d taken some pill, he mumbled. And then he was falling down in class. Talking gibberish. Having hallucinations. Passing out.  Soon his dad came and he was rushed away. Some pill. Nobody seemed to know what. My son was shaken. Rumors spread. His friend&#8217;s [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=109&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>The Power of the Arts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Simeon is in a play this weekend.  It is &#8220;The Seussification of Romeo and Juliet.&#8221;  Yes, just imagine that Dr. Seuss and Shakespeare got together for a few drinks and decided to collaborate! Simeon is Romeo and one of his best friends plays Juliet (&#8220;No, I&#8217;m not kissing Margaret!&#8221;) At any rate, it [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=102&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>My Baby Girl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My baby girl turned 20 Sunday.  Twenty years and 3 days ago, after laboring for hours in Ziggy&#8217;s motel, Sara entered our lives and made the whole world a different place.  Ziggy&#8217;s motel was not the plan. Well, a lot of stuff wasn&#8217;t in the plan. I wanted my child to be brought [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=94&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Kanye West, Joe Wilson and Kindergarten</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Joe Wilson&#8217;s and Kanye West&#8217;s recent outbursts make me think of the things I learned in Kindergarten.  I know it was a long time ago, but I don&#8217;t think the curriculum has changed that much.  My own children attended much more recently.  Even though Ron and I read and sang and talked to our children [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=83&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Play Time</title>
		<description><![CDATA[School was out this past Friday.  My son is so happy.  The summer stretches out before him and he sees a driver&#8217;s license, the beach, lots of basketball, cook-outs and girls who think he&#8217;s cute.  I see that it&#8217;s time for him to get a job.  Play time, at least unlimited [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=78&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>Here I Am!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This past month has been a bit overwhelming.  While I was preparing for my father&#8217;s death, I was not prepared.  Loss feels like swimming at the bottom of heavy water.  But each day I feel more of myself emerging, rising to the surface.
I spent the past week in Orlando, Florida where I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=70&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

		<title>A Mama&#8217;s Gotta Do  What A Mama&#8217;s Gotta Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s really dark at 5:00 a.m.  I  tie up my sneakers, stick my ear buds in my ears and head out anyway.  I need to get to the gym, work out and get back home by 6:00 a.m. to make sure my son gets up in time for school.
I used to go to exercise after [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gullahmama.com&blog=6551502&post=63&subd=gullahmama&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>
