The Professor's Wife: January 2012
http://elizajspencer.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 21, 2012. Mona is the first babysitter I can remember. Or did Lisa come before that? I don't remember. Mona was short for Ramona, and I loved her with all the love a four year old can muster. She could do amazing things with a tortilla and a microwave. Her favorite was American cheese with a slice of ham rolled up in a tortilla and microwaved until it was just about plastic. Synthetic meltiness and salt. Need I say more? Monday, January 2, 2012. I crept into the auditorium, taking one o...

The Professor's Wife: Breakfast
http://elizajspencer.blogspot.com/2014/12/breakfast.html
Monday, December 22, 2014. I toss the covers off, reveling in that first brush of cool air on bare skin before slipping into robe and slippers. But for the rain, the house is quiet, and dark. The stillness in itself is thrilling. Normally at this time, we are all full throttle. Lunches, shoes, breakfast, homework, jackets, racing out the door. But the house is asleep and it is delicious. Breakfast is everything I want it to be. My children drift in one by one. They snack on bacon, (how many?

The Professor's Wife: A moment of grief (or anticipation)
http://elizajspencer.blogspot.com/2014/06/a-moment-of-grief-or-anticipation.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. A moment of grief (or anticipation). The words sear my brain. My vision goes blurry. Panic and rage rise like bile in my throat. Some part of my brain goes through the checklist. The mothering questions that come so automatically to me when my own children are struggling. Have I eaten enough? Did I get enough sleep? Was the workout this morning too much? And I hate it with every fiber in my trembling body. What pampering measure will make it all better? Eliza J's Studio Website.

The Professor's Wife: Before I had to remember
http://elizajspencer.blogspot.com/2014/06/before-i-had-to-remember.html
Monday, June 9, 2014. Before I had to remember. It's a Monday night. The kitchen is clean, the dishwasher has finished running. For the first time today, the washer and dryer are still. The kids are in bed, with - more or less - clean faces and full bellies. Everything, it seems is as it should be, but my heart is restless. I feel off-balance. After running all day, the sudden quiet is unsettling. Or, "I'm alive! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Eliza J's Studio Website. Eliza J's Flute Blog. The mome...

The Professor's Wife: October 2011
http://elizajspencer.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Friday, October 21, 2011. Some of you may recognize elements of this post from a post from about a year and a half ago. I revised it for an assignment for my creative writing class. She stood on the edge of. Overlooking the wide swath of the. Mary Wollstonecraft was a firebrand among intellectuals, navigating a man’s world of thought and philosophy. She was a feminist in eighteenth-century. Some might say in the end Wollstonecraft conformed to society when she married William Godwin, compromising her own...

The Professor's Wife: August 2011
http://elizajspencer.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Time is an Illusion. I love this video! I laughed the first time, because there's something very goofy about it. Loooovve the Indian guy in the Buddha t-shirt. Then I was amazed by the exceptional editing it took to create it. Now I can't stop watching it, and there's something mesmerizing about it. perhaps the idea? What time is it? What is the "I" without time? Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Eliza J's Studio Website. Eliza J's Flute Blog. Time is an Illusion. Wish I'd Said That.
