Since I've posted, that is.
School makes me so stupidly busy that I've come to resent my career. When I'm not teaching, I'm thinking about teaching, or grading papers.
Ick.
I am desperate to be a stay-at-home mom. I know, I know, my kids are growing up, and pretty soon I won't have any at home at all. When Elizabeth graduates this year and heads off to college it's going to be me and the dog.
The prairie-spawn spousal unit usually heads to bed around 8 p.m. ~ seriously ~ and so here I will sit come September, sans conversation ... part of me thinks I might end up liking it, supposing I take up quilting, or another time-intensive project.
Only time will tell!
About Me
- Kate
- Kansas City, Missouri, United States
- Last August, I turned 46. I am in the middle of my life's book. If I live to be 92, I am halfway done, and I find that truth to be highly motivating (there's so much more I want to do and accomplish!). However, I'm also feeling cranky: My children are all single, I don't have any grandbabies, I'm fat; I'm not publishing; I'm not teaching. What's the deal?

Don't worry Momma K, I still totally love you, and you know you can always call me because for shiz, it isn't like I sleep.
By the way, glad to hear you don't have cancer or brain lesions. I know you must be disappointed to just be weird and sinus-infection-having, but it really is better this way.
Much love, lady!
Hey, Kate ~
Oh... how delightful to hear your "voice" - blog when you can... but please know your well-crafted posts are much missed when you don't... <3
P.S. From one Mary Chapin Carpenter fan to another - her new CD is due April 27! More here: http://www.rounder.com/artist/music/default.aspx?pid=63968&aid=25505
I was thinking about you this morning, as I wrote about Elizabeth Berg -- my NEW favorite author, and one of yours, too (I know).
I do miss your participation in this give-and-take forum of blogging. Forget quilting . . . you need to be blogging after the 8 pm hour!
