\"\"<\/a> Okay, I am an idiot. The whole going private thing – strike that. Let’s chalk it up to lack of sleep due to a new baby and Lee’s treatments, but I really<\/strong> didn’t think the whole private thing through. Due to my lack of follow through with my Lewis family snail mail “monthly” newsletter (that I did for a total of five times), all the grandmas now rely heavily<\/strong> on this blog to keep up-to-date on my preciouses. And although all my grandmas are sharp<\/strong><\/em> sharp cookies – <\/em>they weren’t born in 1992. The Internet is still at times daunting and me going private with needed new google accounts and passwords is a possible stretch too far. What was I thinking? Do I have a parasite in my eye? I mean seriously. If I don’t keep these women up-to-date on my adorable trio, my whole inheritance could be in jeopardy… Not that I am relying on that, but honestly the emotional guilt that could be laid upon me for not keeping these women in-the-know on their grandchildren far outweigh the risks of an Internet stalker (hopefully). So I am staying public, having Lee upgrade our security system, and keeping the flagrant child-bragging strong. To be honest, if I were a smart girl, I would keep the private act going for at least a few more days because nothing has boosted my self-confidence as much as the emails asking to know about my life. It’s a beautiful thing to know that I am not the only one reading everyone else’s blogs. I enjoy so much keeping up on friends (even if I don’t comment) and I can in all honesty say that I secretly stalk you all…and I love it. I apologize if you have emailed me or commented on my prior post of going private. Realize I am a woman running on medium-to-low sleep and possibly a little too much aspartame. <\/div>\n
Thanks for your understanding,<\/div>\n
