In Other News...

...we were in the news...

... I got called fat... and I talked back on that a little (scroll down a little to see what I said.)

It was so fun to spend an hour or so Monday with an AP photographer to take photos for this story. I know for sure it's been in the Miami Herald, and the Daily Oklahoman (my dad saw it in the paper before I had a chance to even tell him about it.) It was a really great experience and I hope it gets printed in the Tampa paper so I can get actual copies.

If you google my name right now, followed by kids economy, you'll get pages of websites of me and the boys (and my big butt!) where this story is. Including MSNBC and ABC news websites. I was shocked at how far reaching this was. Especially since I doubted it would ever get printed. That's why I kept it a secret you see. That and the whole "what if I sound like an idiot" factor. Fortunately , it all worked out okay.

I'll bet that tool who left the Comment could use that last post. What a moron. Seriously. Good luck for him when HE gets older and has kids. Idiot.

I love that you were in the news! And all those wonderful people who stood up for you, too! Wonderful! And good for you on saying 'no' to the kids; I think that's important. I know people who go into debt to do Extra things for their kids, and it's ridiculous.

Oh yes! We must get the jerk that called me fat and Mr. Viagra Spammer together. That would be a pair!!

Thanks for the kind words everyone!! You all are great!

PS Would love to simply delete the spam, but I seem to not have the little trash can symbol that does it.
