I am in the process of “backing up” my hand written journals by transcribing them into digital format. I wonder if I can do it WITHOUT editing the spelling, grammar and stupid-me-why-did-I-write-this-down errors? As I was flipping through some of the “back issues”, this sidetracked me:
Boy Boy
Girl Girl
Boy Boy
Boy OR Boy
Girl Girl
Boy Girl
Girl Boy
Girl Girl
Anyway I don’t know which if more entertaining…the fact that
A. I wrote down the preferred birth order of my unborn children
or that
B. I wrote down so many! (I’m not ruling out 8 but WowZa! From where I stand today,
that is highly unlikely.)
If nothing else, this transcription process should provide a good hearty laugh.
I love my journals.
I love to see how things change over time.
I love to have proof to back me up when my memory
(or someone else’s)
fails.

Wow! You were thinking ambitiously......8 kids! It is fun to look back at what we were thinking long ago and reassess.
This statement scares me:
(I’m not ruling out 8 . . .
I can't stand to read my old journals. I only wrote in them when I was feeling dramatic.
I'm impressed you're putting your journals into digital form. All I ever wrote about when I was a kid was who I had a crush on this week and then a few mandatory Personal Progress entries thrown in.
No matter how you look at this one you have already lost. You made no choice 3 which should have started boy, girl, girl...
Touche, Chandee. Touche.
