Sheesh, of course, John, that is *not* how I meant it to come across. I probably should have emphasised the "our" and the "we" or rephrased it to read " It is because of *my* kids that all that *I* do on a daily basis becomes worthwhile..." . When I made reference to "our" and "we" I was referring to my husband and myself, not making a generalisation for everyone else on the entire list! Sorry if I offended with a comment that was given as a gesture of friendship, love and goodwill to welcome in the New Year, and which I assumed would be taken as such. I'll just go back and hide behind my camera now, I feel much safer there sometimes... tan.
