The Sewing Mom

Why would anyone write their posts in the 3rd person? I know one blogger who does this and I’ve always wondered why, until today. Snoksred explains that you will see improved google search results if you include your own authors name in your writing instead of using pronouns. This makes sense when you think about it, how many times do you do a google search on the word “I” or “my”? My guess would be NEVER! So, from now on, you may be reading more about Sewingmom on my site instead of “me”!

This was it, the first day of school, my daughter’s first day of 6th grade.  She was so excited, but at the same time nervous.  The two girls she actually met after moving here at the end of the last school year, both moved away.  She was excited about meeting new friends, but nervous about not knowing anyone.  We met her teacher on Friday and got to see her classroom.  She felt even more excited and more comfortable after that.   She’s had her 1st day outfit picked out for 2 weeks!  Can I just say, she looked simply outstanding today!

 I on the other hand didn’t want to let her go today.  You’d think it was her first day of school…ever!  After making her lunch I drove her to school this morning.  I noticed right away that most of the other parents were walking their children into the building so I asked her if I could walk her in and she said no, didn’t even think about it!  So, I proceeded to pull into the “drop off” zone and I was the only car there, everyone else was parked and walking in with their kids.  So, I asked her again and got another quick “no”!  About this time I realized that I’d completely forgotten to take her picture before leaving the house, I felt horrible!  She said, “it’s okay mom, you can take it when I get home”.  Well yea, I can, but it’s just not quite the same now is it?

The dog and I are spending the day together.  While she napped, I sorted through papers, doing some much needed filing.  I can’t wait to pick my daughter up and hear all about her day!
