Well, like you, I had all but packed our bags once I heard that this company was going to be flying Mother in. And not just for one possible job- but several- at this expanding company. I was forgetting about how much I didn’t care for growing up in The South and focusing on Fresh [...]

Sorry for being all cryptic, but until we were sure it was going to happen I didn’t want to say…  Mom has a job interview tomorrow. I KNOW! I am excited and proud of her. It is for a different job than last Friday’s interview and in a different state. This job would be, gulp, [...]

Two things should be said right up front: this is not a sad sack post. Promise. But I do some reflecting. I’m trying to be very conscious about my emotions and in charge as much as possible. Another thing to get right out there, which kind of spoils any elaborate and fancy prose attempt on [...]

Often it feels like I am stuck in two gears: one wants to speed things up and the other wants to slow things down. When I think about security and when I wonder about what is going to happen to our family next I get ill. I want to speed this part up and get [...]

It quietly crept up on me the other day, with the celebration of W’s first birthday it was also a marker of one year since BG Talula went missing. April 10, 2009 was the last time I ever saw her. Oh how my heart just hurts when I think of her, wondering what happened, trying [...]

Me: So, you had a job interview this week. What can I tell the people about it? Mother: If you find out, let me know. Me: Find out what? Mother: About the job. Me: Wait. What? I’m asking how the interview was. Mother: It was my first so called structured interview and it was very [...]
