About Me

My photo
I am a mom, a wife, and a teacher-librarian. I have four boys at home: Main Man (44), #1 (14), #2 (11), and #3 (7). Although they keep me very busy, I also look after a library for an elementary student population of 500 (give or take). I love my family; I love my job.

I'm Ba-a-a-a-a-ack!


Well, I was finding the whole blogging thing a little overwhelming, daunting, even - dare I say it - a little boring, so I decided to take some time off.

Actually, the word "decided" may give me too much credit. It wasn't really a conscious decision, and, in fact, after a week or so of not posting, I wasn't even sure I would ever come back.

It's been over a month now, though, and I've made it through the whole back-to-school time, and I feel refreshed. Indeed, I feel as if I have a new attitude toward my little Nook.

I will not beat myself up if I don't post every day. In fact, I will plan to post once a week-ish. That way, I will be happy with myself if I manage to post more often than that.

I have so missed my blogging friends, and I hope all is well with all of you. I will be by soon to visit and "catch up". I'm not putting any timelines on that, either, though, so please don't take it personally if it takes me a little while.

Laid back. That is going to be Library Mama. Indeed, that's the only way this blog thing can work for me.

There are way too many other things in my life that are true duties. I can't afford to let a hobby become the duty at the top of the pile.

Hi again, everyone.

Yes, it does happen sometimes doesn't it, Library Mama. Then you suddenly find yourself missing your friends and the experience and realise there's a truly unique global bond involved, that is just as priceless as some other family gems. It happenend exactly that with me. :-)
And indeed, a break prove so refreshing. I've missed you. with love.

Sorry, that was meant to be "proves".

Hello Susan,

Yes, that was exactly the way it was. I don't think I'll ever be quite as every-day regular as I was before, but I've come to realize that that isn't necessarily what is needed to maintain the "connection".

I've missed you too.

Hope all is well.
