Mommy on the Verge: Today I Quit My Job
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2012/04/today-i-quit-my-job.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. Today I Quit My Job. Now, when I go in to borrow a book, I am a stranger. Not RIGHT now, of course, but in a year or two as staff turns over and they finally hire to fill the vacant Library Assistant positions, I will walk into a building of strangers. Odd. So here I sit on the edge of something new, uncharted, and extremely exciting. Let's just see what happens here. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Mommy on the Verge. View my complete profile.

Mommy on the Verge: New Year's Resolutions and Other Hooey
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2011/01/new-years-resolutions-and-other-hooey.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. New Year's Resolutions and Other Hooey. So we moved. Then he quit. Then he accepted Job 3 of 2010. Then Athena changed schools. The only thing that could have made the year more stressful is if we'd had a baby or gotten a divorce. Fortunately, we did neither. My head might have exploded. And the Year said, "Well, you COULD make that same diet resolution that everyone else makes. That's always good for a laugh.". Which is now, sadly, quite out of business in my area of the world.

Mommy on the Verge: June 2009
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, June 16, 2009. Still, it's good to know that libraries are so valued where I live. There are many, many other places around the country that are seeing libraries closed and hours drastically reduced. The Seattle area is seeing all schools lose their professional librarians, leaving the school libraries to be run by assistants and other teachers. So so so so sad. Wednesday, June 10, 2009. And So It Begins. So naturally, I feel very strongly about teaching Athena how important it is to listen, be ...

Mommy on the Verge: December 2009
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 30, 2009. Sure enough, after hunting all over town for my first apartment after college, guess where I ended up. Okay, so that example isn't so strange because I actually get to PICK the apartment I live in, so I could have sort of led myself there (even though I didn't, and there were two other people in on the decision.). But, Dad," says I. "I have no idea what I want to DO with my life. I'm 23, have a BA in English Education, and all I know is I don't. Want to teach.". So I did....

Mommy on the Verge: Dream Dinners Redux
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2006/07/dream-dinners-redux.html
Monday, July 10, 2006. So I've told you all about Dream Dinners. And how much I love the concept. I even told you that the first couple of meals we had were pretty darn tasty. So on Friday, I'm about to go to my third Dream Dinners session, so I thought I would update you on how it's all working out. First of all, if I'm going back a third time, it must be working out pretty well, so let's just get that out of the way. But let's explore all the ways it is going well. Well, I suppose. This month, I di...

Mommy on the Verge: Identity Crisis
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2012/04/identity-crisis.html
Sunday, April 29, 2012. When a person makes a major life change, there is an often unexpected phenomenon that occurs. The identity crisis. The surprise is not in that it occurs but in that we are caught by surprise at all. After all. Isn't this what a major life change means? No Longer. A. Librarian. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Mommy on the Verge: January 2010
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 21, 2010. It's The Little Things. As I have been sitting by mom's hospital bed these last two weeks, I've been frustrated that while she is still living and breathing and here with me, the morphine has either had her knocked out or unable to work her mouth well enough to speak. My mother is a talker. And a listener. And she's funny. And she's smart. And I miss that. But tomorrow, once she is rested again, I sincerely hope she talks my ear off. I cannot wait. Monday, January 11, 2010.

Mommy on the Verge: September 2010
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Tuesday, September 21, 2010. The Year That Needs to Die. Most of the time I've been away from blogging has been simply due to writer's block brought on by several different factors. During that time, I was reexamining my life and my priorities. I still haven't quite got it figured out, but a path seems to be emerging for me to take. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Mommy on the Verge: March 2009
http://ecaran.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 26, 2009. Why am I doing this? Because yesterday was (drum roll please). the 10th anniversary of our second first date! Yeah, you read that right. Ready? I've already shared with you how Chris and I met one January night ten years ago. If you don't remember the story, either blogger ate it, or I will send a prize to the person who can dig it out of my archives. I couldn't find it anywhere. I may have to rewrite that, but meanwhile. He asked if he could drive to Greensboro (where I lived a...
