		<title>Kale and/or chard chips</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I rejoined a CSA this summer after figuring out that I could take on a &#8216;core&#8217; position (a group of about 15 people who run the CSA &#8211; each with distinct manageable jobs) in lieu of doing farm and distribution shifts. This CSA has built into it a principle that every member should experience the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sweet Siblings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was driving home from the dentist today, and ended up on this long road that has a lot of apartment complexes -right behind a lower elementary schoolbus. So it was a slow drive with lots of stops. One stop had four parents waiting for their kids; three with younger siblings.
The bus doors opened and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Morning bus stop laughs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I got Toby on the bus this morning, kissed him goodbye, stood up and said &#8216;Bye, sweet stuff!&#8217;. Then this:
Bus driver:  &#8216;Bye Sara&#8217;
Me: &#8216;Bye John!&#8217;
All the kids on the bus: &#8216;BYE SARA!&#8217;
Apparently I am a noticable part of their day

		<title>4th grade, redux</title>
		<description><![CDATA[one of the really cool things about having siblings is seeing their versions of doing the same school projects. Hannah did a weaving project in 4th grade (on the bottom), and Toby just brought his home (on the top).
Their different personalities shine forth pretty loudly in their work!  Toby&#8217;s is all even and planned [...]]]></description>

		<title>Update on cafeteria advocacy</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So&#8230;I wrote the teacher in question, who filled in some extra history.  She confirmed, that yes, there was a huge level of &#8220;give the poor crippled kid a goodie&#8221; going on.  The cafeteria worker in question is 87, and while the teacher had spoken to her, clearly the message didn&#8217;t sink in.
I suggested (and the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sometimes, I have no clue how to advocate</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So the backstory.  Toby came home from school today summarizing this inequity.   Apparently one of the lunch ladies at school likes to bake, and has taken a liking to Toby and slips him a slice of cake (or whatever) occasionally.  Such that the other kids notice.  The inequity (for Toby) is that one of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s weird this blogging thing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While I have been sporadic at best for months (couple years even?) I still blog in my head and haven&#8217;t given up the idea of blogging.  Partly &#8211; life has just been kinda unbloggable for a bit &#8211; which ok, certainly there are bloggable bits, but some big unbloggable bits too    [...]]]></description>

		<title>Sled Hockey!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Toby participated in a sled hockey clinic this weekend:

He had a total blast.  Though when he got off he exclaimed &#8220;Mom!  Those professionals make it look SOOO easy!&#8221;
He fell over a bunch of times (usually quickly followed by &#8220;I&#8217;m ok!&#8221; in his little voice) &#8211; but yanno?  Ice is slippery.  Afterwards the US National Paralympic [...]]]></description>

		<title>Halloween</title>
		<description><![CDATA[was fun and candy filled &#8211; 
Toby went to school Friday as Moaning Lisa:

which is actually pretty funny and it was a totally easy costume to make &#8211; black pants and shirt, &#8220;witch&#8221; long hair wig, and cardboard frame covered with paper and glitter.  He also had a small picture frame with a printout [...]]]></description>
