Being distractible can be caused by a whole slew of things—like genetics, parenthood, stress, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[By all accounts, I&#8217;m a busy mom. I gave up my teaching career a couple of years ago so I could stay home with my children&#8212;one school-aged, and one who has just turned two. Soon, I&#8217;ll no longer be a mom of two, but a mom of four. We&#8217;re expecting a set of twins in [...]]]></description>

Last week at church, for instance, when my friend mentioned that earlier that day, she had slipped on her stairs and bonked her head, I became a Head Injury Specialist. As [...]]]></description>
