The Library Lady Rants: Dear Nanay
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/06/dear-nanay.html
Wednesday, June 03, 2015. It was 7 years ago last week. I lit a Jewish yahrzeit candle, and Sarah went to Blessed Sacrament and lit a candle there. Fitting, I guess. Nay, I miss you for me because I love you, and for SC because she was so close to you and for JR because she never really got to know you. But above all I miss you for the Man. He is in such bad shape, Nay. He is angry all the time. He is tired too much. He eats too much. The girls know he's not right. It hurts them too. And I hope t...I wan...

The Library Lady Rants: The Beginning of a Good May (I Hope!)
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/05/the-beginning-of-good-may-i-hope.html
Tuesday, May 05, 2015. The Beginning of a Good May (I Hope! 2)I channeled my mom again, and told the agency to get me a tutor or give me a refund. They found one and JR is starting with her tonight. I think she can pass this dang test with some help. 5)I am going to a 2 day baby/toddler yoga training at the end of the month. I've been wanting to do this and they are actually having it on week days on a week that we weren't doing programs anyway! Nice to talk about mostly good things for a change! Childre...

Baking Bites An award winning food and baking blog featuring recipes, tips and more. Baking How-To’s & Tips. How to Start A Food Blog. Tools & Gadgets. May 20, 2011. In Cakes - Cupcakes. I topped my cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and decorated them with little green and orange carrots. I often finish off carrot cakes. This way because mini carrots are very easy to make and it takes very little frosting to make them, so I can still be generous when frosting the rest of my cupcakes! 1 tsp baking soda.

The Library Lady Rants: Aggravations
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/04/aggravations.html
Thursday, April 16, 2015. 1)JR needs a tutor for chemistry so she at least passes the damned SOL, and I have paid for one, but the tutor didn't get in touch with me, and is now saying she can't start till the 23. Another tutor will be found by the agency, but we've lost time already! 5)I weeded some of my library garden, and whatever plant in there I'm allergic too is giving me hives again. The only good thing is that they seem mild, and Benadryl at night also seems to be helping me sleep well for a ...

The Library Lady Rants: The House
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-house.html
Thursday, April 02, 2015. I think I've found my house. I've never been inside, but I've been looking at it on line for days. It's got 4 bedrooms. The master bedroom is apparently an upstairs loft, and there are two decent sized rooms for the girls on the main floor, and another, smaller room that could be a den for the Man, for some of his books and things and perhaps a desk. There are 4 bathrooms. I'd settle for 2, one more than we have now, but the girls could each have one. There are trees. A love...

The Library Lady Rants: The Library Lady Mom
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-library-lady-mom.html
Wednesday, April 29, 2015. The Library Lady Mom. Actually, it does. I was a good children's librarian when I first started doing this, because I was in my early 20s, and in truth I've never outgrown my childishness. But I became a much, much better children's librarian because I have the perspective of a parent. So I can look at a mom/dad/caregiver and say "I know about this because when SC was 18 months/when JR was little," and they know that I GET IT. Labels: Being A Childrens Librarian. The love of my...

The Library Lady Rants: Sorrow
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/04/sorrow.html
Monday, April 06, 2015. I was reading a column in the Washington Post today about someone who has lost friends, pets and a job in recent times and is having trouble dealing with the sorrow. And I get it. In the past 3 years I have lost father-in-law, father, beloved cat, other beloved cat and my mother. My brother has been effectively lost to me for years. Someone commented on the article about people who let their sorrow overwhelm them. Who hold onto it,don't want to move past it. The Cast of Characters.

The Library Lady Rants: Still Looking
http://libraryladyrants.blogspot.com/2015/04/still-looking.html
Wednesday, April 08, 2015. Someone bought my house- though since the sales seem to keep falling through, we'll see if it takes this time. It would have been too far from the stores we need. Too far from the highways, which would have made it hard for the Man and SC to commute to work and school. A longer commute for me, for that matter. Far from the bike paths the Man likes to use on weekends. Thanks to my brother's asshat lawyer, the process of getting my parents' estate settled has dragged. And I can't...
