Continuing the subject of the previous post, my husband just sent his letter of resignation by email.
That's all I'm going to say about this now.
"Done," he just said. Yes, Done.
About Me
- L
- I'm a Brazilian immigrant (used to say expatriate, have problems with this word now), living in the U.S. since 1996 with my husband and two sons (born in March 2002 and May 2004). I'm a mother, first and foremost, -- mamãe in my mother-tongue, hence the (e) of the blog title -- but after "ten years and two sons" I finally finished my Ph.D. in literature in 2008. After six years away from teaching (including a year home/cyber schooling my sons - 2009-10), I'm finally back in higher-education. I've been blogging here for eleven years, so welcome to my site and feel free to stay for a while and look around. Our lives are a roller coaster, never lacking in ups and downs! ;-)

that's a huge change, Lilian, you're right. Good luck with all the changes; I'm sure you'll all come through just great.
I'm just catching up on your news...what a roller coaster indeed. I know you must feel heartbroken about selling the house, but I do think it's an attractive option: Philly, teaching piano, being able to breathe a little without feeling so financially strapped. There's a lot to be said for that.
I'll have a glass of armagnac tonight in your honor. Actively living life is always worth celebrating.
