Bulletin: Staying up til 2:30 a.m. two nights in a row when husband is going to Texas for weekend and little girl is in the house not such a good idea. Might be different if you could sleep late. So you get up and crave carbs and sugar to power on....two bowls of cereal....2 whole-grain fig bars....stayed up late to claim time for yourself but then pay the piper in the morning....and you're cranky, not foster mom at your best.....thank God for retro movies On Demand.....like "My Friend Flicka" from 1943....go take a shower and get ready for Mass! And long play date here later...which will likely include trip to PetSmart to browse at lizards and mice...

About Me
- Alice Garbarini Hurley
- Montclair, New Jersey
- I'm Alice and I've been writing for most of my life--first, in a little green five-year diary my friend Lorraine gave me for Christmas in 6th grade, then for newspapers, magazines, websites and companies. I've blogged here, often daily, since Feb. 2010, trying hard to write truthfully even when it's scary. My husband and I are now freelance writers, so sometimes still we can afford salmon for dinner and sometimes we can't. Our daughter (blog name Figgy) is an artist and scientist in cyanobacteria algae research. The teen we are raising as legal guardians but have loved as our own (code name Punch/Skippy/Spice/Spike) is in high school. Our days range from sunny to sad, successful, sweet or funny.
