What Miranda thinks I do while she is sleeping:
- Throwing parties.
- Eating delicious foods that she is missing out on.
- Playing with all of her toys.
- Watching all of her favorite shows.
What I actually do while Miranda is sleeping:
- Write grant proposals for East Wake Academy charter school in Zebulon, North Carolina (about 30 minutes away from where we live). I work with the headmasters (Yes, the school calls them “headmasters” just like Hogwarts!) and teachers on getting the things they need at their school. I've written two grants for them so far. One was for getting supplementary materials for a reading program they have at the school. The other I just finished was a grant for chemistry lab equipment.
- Write grants for L.I.O.N.S. for Christ Youth Ministries, a nonprofit organization in Bakersfield, California. I just finished writing a letter of inquiry (which is like a mini grant proposal) for a grant to help their organization purchase a larger facility.
- Work as an Internet Assessor (yes, I assess the internet) for a company called Lionbridge. Basically, I help improve the quality of search engine results. I just barely got hired on, so I am going through lots of training right now.
I feel really blessed to have the opportunity to work and stay at home with Miranda. I couldn't have asked for a better setup!
love the Miranda pix. Wow.. what you are doing sounds intense and technical. So glad you can work at home, and have parties with delicious food while she's sleeping! ;)
