The lights are on, and I am home.

September 30, 2008 – 10:14 am |

In my new office, at my new desk, if I sit idly for too long, everything goes black. The bright fluorescent lights in here run by motion detection.  If I sit still for too long the office sends me a message.  You’re not doing anything.  It says. Do something. Are you even in here?  The darkness snaps me out of my daydream. I wave an arm to summon the light, and I settle back in to working.

Over the last month, while I have been learning a new job and facing new stages with my children, Mommy Tracks has been dark.  Today, though, the Blogosphere spoke to me.  Reminded me I’m here.  I am delighted to report that the fine editors at Blog Nosh magazine have published an essay I wrote last year about the fear and excitement that accompany taking your oldest child to Kindergarten.  If you found me from Blog Nosh, welcome.  I am waving my arm, and I will be settling back in to blogging soon.
