		<description><![CDATA[Introduction from Maureen Wallace,  rookie mom of a child with Down syndrome &#160; At least once a day since Robert &#8220;Ethan&#8221; Saylor died in January, I have thought about how my son, Charlie, could face a similar fate. Charlie has Down syndrome, just like Ethan. Many other parents of children with Down syndrome have written eloquently, scorchingly and fervently since Ethan died (the International Alliance of Writers for Down syndrome provides a great round-up of blog posts, essays and articles). While some of us may disagree on the best way to move forward from the tragedy, we all agree an independent investigation is the only way we can begin to move forward. It&#8217;s the only way to stop the constant wondering, each day, what could&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operationhaveitall.com&#038;blog=32931147&#038;post=792&#038;subd=operationhaveitall&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One week ago, allParenting published my column titled, &#8220;Down syndrome organizations: Unite! We need you!&#8221; It was a small contribution to the steady drumbeat of outrage and concern after the death of Robert &#8220;Ethan&#8221; Saylor, a young man with Down syndrome who died while being restrained by three off-duty sheriff&#8217;s deputies in Frederick, Maryland, in January. (My column contains links to news stories, editorials and other parents&#8217; blogs.) Mr. Saylor died in January. That was three months ago. It&#8217;s April. As an advocate for individuals with Down syndrome, I am discouraged and disappointed by the lack of action by national leaders in the Down syndrome community. My column was met by the joyous sounds of crickets, so two days later, I emailed every leader&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operationhaveitall.com&#038;blog=32931147&#038;post=781&#038;subd=operationhaveitall&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you love someone with Down syndrome, or love someone who loves someone with Down syndrome&#8230; please, take a moment to read what may be the most important &#8220;Chasing Charlie&#8221; column I&#8217;ve written over on allParenting. A young man died, and because we don&#8217;t have information from an independent investigation, we cannot know the details. Some say the sheriff&#8217;s deputies who restrained him, face down, at a movie theater should be charged with homicide. I won&#8217;t say that until I know the facts. But if our Down syndrome organizations don&#8217;t unite, work together and forge ahead with one loud message, we may never know the facts. Which, to me, means what happened to Robert Ethan Saylor could happen to my son, Charlie. Please.

		<description><![CDATA[And then I saw the post. A friend from our local Down syndrome association had posted on Facebook that she was looking for a caregiver for her children, one of whom has Down syndrome. I knew it was time. I knew we had to give another precious little boy the opportunity to be nurtured by a remarkable woman. Today&#8217;s Chasing Charlie on allParenting is one I&#8217;ve had in mind since I began writing about The Husband&#8217;s and my journey as parents to a child with special needs. It is an overdue thank you of sorts. Lynette has made all the difference in the world to our children &#8212; and to us. I&#8217;d love for you to read more about how she has changed Charlie&#8217;s&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operationhaveitall.com&#038;blog=32931147&#038;post=761&#038;subd=operationhaveitall&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ll be honest. I really thought this was going to be so much easier. When my editors at SheKnows and allParenting asked me to cover a debate on genetic engineering of babies, I thought, sure! How hard can it be? I mean, the hashtag associated with the debate was #designerbabies. Um, yeah. Controversial. Risky. Scary. A solid no vote from this mama. Right? I&#8217;d love to hear how you react after reading my SheKnows article, which I worked hard to make balanced. Did I do it right? Where do you land? SheKnows reports: Should we be able to design our own babies? After watching the debate and writing the SheKnows article, I was torn.

I&#8217;ve paid power bills in 10 cities (no, Dad, I am not counting home &#8212; and thank you for 18 years of free power!). Four cats and two dogs have counted on me to feed them. I&#8217;ve worked with governors, state legislators, mayors, city council, kind souls and rude jackasses. In almost every case, I&#8217;ve written speeches they delivered, talking points they consulted and emails they deleted. I made many of them laugh. It took a week of over-exerting myself and being a crazy smiley person, but I got cranky Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to smile and wave at me &#8212; however reluctantly.

		<description><![CDATA[One year ago this week, I began this silly, little, nondescript blog. I titled it, &#8220;Operation Have It All,&#8221; because I was embarking on a yearlong job share with a dear friend as a means of trying to create more balance in my life. I thought if I could successfully split my week between my children and my career, both would win. We all would win. Well. So much for that. The job share was unequivocally a success. I had an incredible team supporting the concept and, most importantly, committed to being a team. That&#8217;s rare, and I&#8217;m so grateful. The attainment of balance? Pfffttt!!! I&#8217;ve decided that word &#8211; balance &#8211; is in the biased wikipedia entry of the beholder. What does it&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operationhaveitall.com&#038;blog=32931147&#038;post=597&#038;subd=operationhaveitall&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

But I had to do it because the words were pouring from my heart, and so I submitted it. My incredibly supportive editors very tactfully pointed out this style doesn&#8217;t fit with the style of writing on SheKnows, confirming my instincts and resulting in this article (please read that one, as well, because it gives the context for this story).

		<description><![CDATA[Well, that&#8217;s that, then. I am officially 40 years old. I once shared a remarkably ignorant and sweeping generalization that if someone hadn&#8217;t achieved a certain promotion within a certain company by the time he or she had turned 40, well, I wouldn&#8217;t bet it was every going to happen. How ridiculous, naive and self-absorbed of me! Clearly, I have much more to learn in this lifetime, and with any luck, I&#8217;m not even halfway through it. As I consider that thought&#8230; that my life, if I&#8217;m blessed and lucky and continue to wear my seatbelt and avoid driving on stormy nights, may be only halfway through. And that thought makes me wish I could speak to the half-life before me, the 20-year-old me.&#8230;<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=operationhaveitall.com&#038;blog=32931147&#038;post=566&#038;subd=operationhaveitall&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
