I was just told that my dc were the "best."

And by someone I really, really respect.

*sniff*

So, I will plug him here.:D

William Powers, author of "Blue Clay People" and "Whispering in the Giant's Ear" - he specializes in the area of globalization and what that means to people in the Third World. We met him last year when he rented a house close to us for a few months - he and my dc hit it off.

He was in the US to visit his parents (who live not far from here) and wanted to come see my dc while he was here. I really, really hope he settles down near here! Below I linked one of his books - it is sold out right now, but it will be re-printed in the next couple of months. If you are looking for a really good read on the subject, you can't beat it!

Awesome!! Nothing like getting props from someone you deeply respect. Way to go, MOM. (Since it's all about us, anyway. Snort.) :)

Well, if we're going to take all the blame anyway, we might as well take all the credit. Right?

Last night when I was "forcibly" :p waxing dd's eyebrows and upper lip, I told her to just suck it up and I'd drop another dollar in the therapy jar. She asked -- I suppose it's been a burning question for some time now -- if there actually WAS a therapy jar, and would she be getting the money.

I told her it was up to about $25K at this point, but not to hold her breath. http://www.vpsingles.com/pics/therapy.gif (http://www.vpsingles.com/icons.htm)

I did tell him that if my dc grew up and ran off to all parts of the globe, therby making me worry - I was going to blame him! :D

I can't take ALL the credit - I do have some great kids, but they came that way!
