What kind of vegan goodies do I need to bake for A in order to be able to subscribe to Nancy Drew Too by email instead of RSS. Since he's the Left Mind behind the production. :) Not to be off topic–but to be off topic.

You have no idea how much sleep time I lost last night shuffling through and reading the Forbes top 500 - yes I said 500. Once I started reading them I couldn't stop. Alright you two!

You can train it to understand you pretty well. http://www.nuance.com/naturallyspeaking/ Yeah, whatever you do your kids can find a reason to love/hate you -- generally both at the same time. :) You sound like a pretty cool parent to me, FWIW...

Yeah, whatever you do your kids can find a reason to love/hate you — generally both at the same time. :)

It's listening back and writing it out that I find hard to do. TIME, oh what I would do to have just one day to stay home and write. Between work, commute, three kids, husband, parents, in-laws, and 1750 sq feet of house to take care of, I never have more than an hour or two to spend writing. That's not to mention blogging, Critique Circle, Facebook and taking some time to spend with a few friends once in a while. OH and exercise, I won't mention how big my A$$ has gotten since I started writing and blogging. :) I am no Wonder Woman. But I often wonder if my children will hate me when their grown for all the attention I took from them in order to write. Hence--the guilt I mention on DS' blog the other day. What can I do? I need to do some things for myself--correction--I need to do this for myself! If they don't resent me for this, I'm sure they'll find another reason to resent me when their grown, right? Isn't that what kids do? Resent our parents for something. If anything, at least I can say I'm still a much better parent than either of my parents were. BTW, did I mention how long it's been since I've been to the beauty salon? Okay, done complaining! It's Friday and I'm walking the beach trail tomorrow. Maybe I'll share some pictures.
