		<title>The Theory of Relativity</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I never planned or even intended this, but as I look back, it seems many posts here on arnoldgirls.net are based on an academic subject. I see no reason to break with accidental tradition now&#8230; Albert Einstein is famously reported to have explained the Theory of Relativity this way: “Put your hand on a hot [...]]]></description>

		<title>Four is More Than Three.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Simple math, I know. But it&#8217;s the math we do these days&#8230; I am often asked how different life is with four girls. Mostly I try for a witty comeback like &#8220;well, four is more than three.&#8221; To make amends for my snarkiness, I present these actual thoughts on the subject: It&#8217;s not that big [...]]]></description>

		<title>Duct Tape Can&#8217;t Mend a Broken Heart. But It Can Keep a Diaper On.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was thinking today about how relatively simple most of the problems we solve for the girls are. Sure, there&#8217;s four of them, and that can be a bit overwhelming sometimes, especially if they all need something at once or the schedule gets even slightly out of whack. But our biggest issues are spills and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Developmental Psychology 101</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have a new funding source for the girls&#8217; college education -- college students. I&#8217;m looking around the house and realizing that I have an active, functioning Developmental Psychology lab right here under one roof.

		<title>Fifth Grade Minivan Geometry.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What kind of car seats more than five? The obvious answer (in my price range, anyway) is a minivan, which we have. It is simultaneously the most emasculating and the most convenient vehicle I have ever owned. There is nothing cool about driving a minivan, no matter how pimped out, no matter what John Travolta&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Normal is a Miracle</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We are home. Mom and baby are sleeping. Ella is eating well, doing&#8230;other bodily function things well. All is well. And&#8230;perfectly normal. Here she is in a swing (or as we like to call it, &#8220;The Sanity Saver&#8221;). I was thinking about the road Ella took into the world. It was by no means easy [...]]]></description>

Cause I am quite sure these pages will be so popular they will provide for my retirement&#8230; Needed some content for the front page, so I thought I would re-post my own post.
