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.

Wonderful photo. See my baby today -Will has a few days off before field work assignments. He will be with his gf mostly, but there will be sightings!

Peter stayed with the kids and we lived on my income until Will went to school. Then Peter was PT for a while and I got into the telework program, so with some after school programs and day camps during the summer, it worked. He had no flexibility when he went back to work, and I do, so I have worked nutty hours for years. I have a goal of working a straight 40 hour week and having my nights and weekends, but I am fighting a lot of years.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you will see your Will! Yes, I hear you—I admire your hard work. We all patch it together somehow, the child care game. When I worked 2 days a week freelancing at Sesame Street Parents Magazine in NYC, I enlisted my dad to pick Figgy up from preschool. Now I’m even more grateful they had that time together. Have a good day.
DeleteWill sightings! The very best kind!
