Happy Mother’s Day
This morning my kids did something they’ve never done before ~ they made me breakfast. In bed. I got up because I heard Squeekerz scratching at my door, not because he really wanted to be in my room but because he wanted to be away from the kids. Have I mentioned that our dog hates everyone in the family unless they have bread or Girl Scouts cookies ~ preferably the shortbreads but he’s been known to pilfer a Tagalong or two? Anyway, I got up to open the door and the dog came charging into the room at full speed as only a half Chihuahua half Jack Russell Terrier (Jackihuahua?…

Shoe Style Saturday
I can’t remember when or where I bought the shoes but I can remember when I bought the bag… I had just graduated from Drexel University and, with shiny degree in hand, was preparing to get my first full~time position as a librarian at a local college. For the interview, I wanted a stylish briefcase and a cute suit. Conventional wisdom said to go with one of the safe colors like brown, black or navy leather case but, um, that’s so not me. I didn’t choose a “safe” black suit either. Anyway, I happened to be watching TV when this beautiful briefcase came on the air, it was a Dooney…

Loose Threads and Other Random Thoughts
1. Our dog, Squeekerz, has a bad attitude. I suspect it’s because the kids named him “Squeekerz” and because they keep dressing him up like he’s a toy. That’s him in the picture with Miss 15, you can’t see it but his eyes are screaming “Help me!” When he was little, they used to dress him up in doll clothes… 2. Next week begins Finals’ Week at the college. I can’t believe I’ve been working at the library for a semester already. It went by so fast. I remember when I started, I wasn’t sure if I was going to make a connection with any of the students but last…

Sometimes You Have to Take Quality Over Quantity
Last night as the last 1/2 hour of my temporary 3 to 11 shift at the library rolled around, I tweeted that I didn’t think I’d be able to survive without some caffeine and one of my favorite tweeters, @f8likemustard, asked me the following question: “Do you ever resent having to work nights @ the library? It would be hard for me; kids are so busy!” I had an immediate answer for her… Yes and no. My normal schedule is 2 to 10 PM but this week and next (Finals’ Study Week and Finals’ Week for the students) it’ll be 3 to 11 PM which means that I won’t get home…

1. That’s me with Miss 17. I’m so incredibly proud of her. I’m also slowly but surely preparing myself to let go as she prepares to go to college. I will not cry. On Friday, she and I hung out and did a bit of shopping, eating and talking. Seeing my daughter grow from a little bean to a young lady has been the most amazing trip. I’m one of those blessed moms who hasn’t had to go through all the problems that I caused my mother with her teen daughter. That’s not to say we haven’t had our issues (at 12 she started to lose her mind, at 13…
