When I was in school, one of the economic theories I heard was that if you gave everyone in the class a dollar, by the end of the day, some people would have lots of money, some the same dollar, and some no money. With children, you get to see that in practice.
Me: "CC, why are you putting away the bathroom towels? That's B's job."
CC: "He said he'd like to play instead, so he's paying me $1 if I'll put them all away."
And I decided to keep my mouth shut because all I wanted was for the towels to be folded and put away by someone other than me.

Who are these people
- deej
- This is the story of our home, which I had always envisioned as a sort of peaceful place, a Lothlorien. You will discover that it is often anything but peaceful. I do hope that, when all is said and done, people will say that they always found love and joy in our presence. This is the story of me, deej, my DH, and our children B and CC. As this blog starts, B is 6 and CC is 3 1/2. I hope you enjoy visiting us on our journey through life. Update: The days go by so slowly sometimes, but life as a whole goes by so quickly. Sept 2010 and B is 9 going into 4th grade and CC is 6 and starting 1st grade.
