Now I'm trying to plow through a ton of reading, and I'm starting to draft my prospectus. This weekend begins my commitment to Saturday work days. I'm hoping to start with 2 hours on Saturday afternoon, two times a month. Next week, I also get to go fill out preschool packets for the kids--I'm looking forward to the extra work time during the day.
My favorite new work tool: The Moleskine ruled reporter's notebook. In it I'm writing my list of small achievable goals for each day and any notes-to-self I need to keep track of. It's a bit pathetic how happy it makes me. (It kind of reminds me of impassioned conversations about grading pens.)
SafiaK, how did the conference go? GEW, how goes the writing? I'm eager for updates when you come up for air!

I love Moleskin notebooks! And I can't wait to hear about your presentation proposal. If you go to Venice to present a paper, I will be jealous--but inspired! Keep me posted. And I think you're going to LOVE having more work time next fall. But be forewarned, it's a little bit like the story, "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie." The title could be "If You Give a PhD-Pursuing Mom Two Hours of Work" . . .
I love that book! Today I really had to talk myself out of going shopping sans kids to keep on track. (But I'm glad I did.)
