So anyway....

So anyway--the universal and not so smooth transition phrase. I have a problem posting because I think I need to post something meaningful, entertaining, thought-provoking, etc. I have a hard time posting the day to day stuff. I have a fear of it turning into one of those Christmas letters that I cringe reading (my kids are perfect, we just had the best perfect vacation, my life is perfect etc.). Although my life is not perfect so I guess my blog would not turn into that but I digress.

So anyway, now there is more pressure because one of my six (I kid you not) blog followers is the fabulous Kacy of Everyday I Write the Book blog fame. I still have no idea who Jean-Jean is. Long story short--I am too lame to "follow" many blogs. I have a hard time committing to such personal things. So, instead I follow the blogs that my sister Lysa follows. Well, she started following Kacy's blog because our friend Jaime did. Yes, we Jemison's sure like to follow. Now if I were more blog saavy I would be able to put links to everyone's blog that I am mentioning but I forgot how to do that so maybe Lysa can leave some links in a comment or something. I made a comment on Kacy's blog and she in turn made a comment on mine. Lysa called me freaking out when she saw the comment. So anyway, thank you Kacy for making me a celebrity in my sister's eyes and thank you for the comment and for being one of my "followers". I hope I don't disappoint.

So anyway, it is hard being a mom. Today we are having our first "my best friend doesn't want to be my friend anymore" 3rd grade moment. It breaks my heart. My first instinct is to call the friend's mom and find out what is going on. But then I remembered that we need to let our kids find solutions to their problems. I will not be a helicopter mom although I may try like a hang glider if this rift goes on too long.

So anyway, what's another word for pirate's treasure?
