Can you believe it? My journal was chosen to be featured in the Parenting community on the "Because I said so...." page. How wonderful. The sad part? I didn't even know there was such a page. Go figure! But, I am excited. I even printed out a copy of the notification e-mail. I suppose thanks should go to my 15 year old, who introduced me to the wonderful world of journaling. She has a Blurty, another blogging/journaling site, that is nowhere near as good as AOL's. (Honest, this is not a paid testimonial!) She spends hours there, spilling secrets about her life, school, general nonsense, and she loves it. All of her friends are doing it too. They all have links to each other's pages, leave comments, the whole bit. My daughter probably has at least 30 entries. So, as a mother of a skinny, beautiful teenager, I felt it my duty to rub it in. First, I put the screen up and clapped wildly, and asked her to look at it. She squinted from the chair and said, "What?" So I said, "Come and see!" She sighs heavily and comes over. "WHAT MOTHER?" I just keep smiling and laughing and point. She reads it and says, "You mean, you have put in 6 entries since the 6th of October and get featured, and I have 30 entries since August and get nothing?" I leaned back in my computer chair and put my feet up, hands behind head, "Yeah, (sniff), that's right. (satisfaction sigh) I guess you will just have to admit it." "Admit what?" she asks. "Your mom ROCKS!" I said, nodding confidently. I didn't quite catch what she was muttering under her breath as she walked out of the room, but I imagine it was something like, "You sure do mom. I'm gonna call all my friends with the good news!" Hey, a mom can dream, can't she?
