A by-line by... Janna Qualman

I've been waiting ever-so-patiently. It was supposed to have come, I assumed, sometime this week. But now here we are; it's Friday, and it still hasn't arrived.

I've had visions of how pretty it will be. My title across the top. Every Mom's Column. My name just below. by Janna Qualman. And my words, the ones I labored over so they were just perfect, will follow.

It's the introductory edition to my new column. A humorous, relatable look at motherhood (think Erma Bombeck). In some editions I'll talk about mishaps with my daughters (like when my youngest's diaper went AWOL), in others I'll tackle stages of parenthood every mother reaches (leaving your kid behind on the first day of preschool). I'm SO excited about it. And I can't wait to see how it's received by our community.

But it has to be distributed first. The fall edition is due any day now.

So I continue to wait ever-so-patiently...

Like Erma Bombeck. That's so cool! She's often the example I use when I point out to people that they don't need to be world famous to write about life. They just have to be human. Good luck with your project, and congratulations on your "real" blog. In my opinion, it's much easier on the eye than Myspace.
