			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently while watching TV I saw this ad for a new show; the man who is to the father has 4 Teenagers in the show. He makes a &#8220;comment&#8221; about &#8220;Having teenagers is like running a petting zoo&#8221;.  I about fell off the sofa laughing! It is SO TRUE!</p>
<p>Mind you, I have a few myself of course a few are grown and out of the nest, and I have to think I must have lost my mind when I got pregnant again; they are all a bit spread out.  So the grown ones are out of the house, but now the ones that are left, its like OMG! I’m going through this all over again! AT MY AGE!  BOY COULD I RELATE TO THIS GUY!</p>
<p>Now mind you, my teens are not bad by any means, they are just typical teenagers. They know it all, and they are going to take over the world; and it’s just that simple.  Problem is, I think they may just do it!</p>

<p>Im writing this blog, even though I have no idea what I am doing here- in the hopes I can try to heal.<br />
