This is difficult for me...because it seems putting things into written words, somehow makes it more real....less changeable....
And so it is....
I've accepted a teaching position....
I am truly grateful for this opportunity....but it comes with sacrifices....One being, that the ubiquitous Cranky Crow won't be so ubiquitous anymore....
It is a very part-time position and classes do not start until after the first of the year....But I have a great deal of work to do before now and then: Syllabi, class plans, assignments, hitting the books myself..... (Yeah...they want me to cover "internet law" - hello....they didn't have internet when I went to law school.....)
Anyways....I'll still be here....but you will be seeing less of me....post-wise....comment-wise....and otherwise. I have, however, promised a giveaway (hey - I'm moving in on 200 followers and 100 posts!!) - and I will - come hey or highwater - do that prior to year-end....
I'll truly miss you....I wonder if you'll miss me....

Hey, congratulations! This is exciting news. And a Super Crow like you will be able to do it all. You better not disappear or else we will cyber stalk you until we track you down. Hmmm, then you could use it as a case study for your students. Lol
Oh Robin, I am so proud for you that you will be doing something you no doubt will love, however saddened that you will not be with us as often here in blogland. I for one have grown to look forward to your cranky crow replies and simply adore you posting pictures of your home. You have truly become a friend to so many of us I am sure. The time you will have to visit with us will be even more special for all of us who love hearing from you. Knowing you it won't be long and you will be balancing teaching, home, and blogging. Until that time comes,,, have a great time with your free time and live it up . Hugs and best wishes

Change can be good after the shock of course. You will be a great teacher. Make them follow you to Nod, and I mean follow.
Lisa
Congratulations!!!
Change is good~ this will lead to many wonderful things~
Pamela
What wonderful news! Remember the start of my new job in September? I actually thought I'd have to give up my blog, I was so overwhelmed! But, in due time, you'll have it all mastered. We would suffer major crow withdrawals if you left us forever! Take the time you need to get your bearings...come visit and just caw if you have to...we'll know it's you! Keep us posted when you can on all the new changes! Love ya!
Well, congratulations sweetie, and holy wow, law at that. I will miss your wonderful and fun comments, but you won't be totally gone:-)
Hugs and Best Wishes,
Carol
Congratulations on your new position. Oh, to be back at college - whether a student or a teacher. I'm sure you'll be around here more than you think - you'll miss all of us and our opinions!
I had to laugh at your last comment on my blog - no I'm not "one of those Mom's" nor am I Martha! I just get sick of going to an event and everything that is served was picked up at the grocery store on the way there! If you make roll outs this holiday , try my recipe - the only kind I make.

Congratulations. WoOt

Miss you? Oh my goodness gracious we'll miss you!!! Miss your many posts and many comments always so sweet & upbeat! That being said... Congratulations! I'm sure that you will do a great job.

Gosh, we will miss you not being around much !
Hugs,
Linda
Oh Robin That's wonderful ..well the teaching part anyway..Congrats!!

Robin, Congrats on this great opportunity. I know you'll enjoy teaching, but don't forget us. We'll miss your blogs.
Ellie
I am sure you will be a wonderful teacher. You have education & experience in law. Yes I will miss you. As you start this new season in your life I wish you much luck working with your students. As time allows I hope you can share a bit of your teaching experiences & just whats up with the crow weather it be big or little. I have come to know you as a blog friend & your comments mean so much to me. You have a kind heart. Blessings!
Lara
Congrat-u-(whimper-miss-you!)-lations
dear friend! The students and faculty are fortunate to gain your expertise and wonderful peronality. So long as they are properly (massively, adoringly)appreciative I suppose we can share you, lol
Yet still, there will be pouting in from my wee corner of blog-land :-)
Signed: she who runs with scissors and shares badly (roflmao) TTYS via email

betty
ps: If you find we bloggers are breaking internet law, please tell us.lol
Dear Cranky~
I will be one of the many who will miss reading your posts-I read them more often than I commented and always looked forward to reading what you were up to! Well, maybe only one in particular I could have done with out, I got the chills just thinking about it at the moment!!!
Change is good. I wish you the best in this next chapter of your life. Go kick some cranky crow butt! Now, who will be the next luckiest giveaway winner?
hugz,
Sheila
Changes are good girlfriend, changes challenge our inner spirit and allow us to grow way beyond our wildest expectations. Congratulations, best wishes, good luck. You are off to the races, don't look back, focus on the finish line, I will meet you there to shake your hand.
Hugs to ya Robin,

Robin, Congratulations on your new job. And yes, I will miss you. You always have a sweet comment when I post.
Take care,
Lois
you crazy bird......
I already miss you. *sigh*
Sweetie~I'll miss you but I'm sure you'll get time to visit.Good news on the job.I've been looking for something part time but office type work is not to be found here right now.Fast food and road work is about it.No thanks.Big Hugs!~Amy
You betcha we will miss you. You are always there with a good post and a kind comment. Please find a moment now and then and let us know how things are going. You will do a wonderful job!
Syllabi. Now that's a word I haven't used for a long time. How common a college word and how easily forgotten. I think it sounds like a lot of fun to be able to teach at that level and in a time of life when maybe, just maybe, life isn't toooo strenuous. Internet Law hu?
Maybe you can have a guest speaker come in for that section. Oh, how fun. You get to be a professor. Have you taught before? Oh good luck and congrats on so many followers. -Steph-
Congratulations on your new position! I am sure it will be exciting. I WILL be missing you and excited when you update us when you are able! :)
This is very exciting! I'm happy for you. I want you to know that I juggle a full time job and two kiddos. I blog when I have time. I may not be able to visit as much but I do when I can. I love a quiet early morning and a cup of coffee with my blog friends. You will get into a grove and find time to blog. We should never do it out of obligation. It can be your me time. Keep it fun and best wishes for happiness and success at the new job!
Good luck with the job opportunity and I hope with time you will feel you can handle both the job and the blog.
Yes, we will miss your posts and comments Robin but congrats to you on your new position. My very best wishes. Hugs, Lori
You will be so great teaching! Your students will enjoy your style! You have a great personality and wit!
congrats!
Why is great news always followed by a "yeah but"? You will certainly be missed here, but your students are in for a treat!
It's funny how our occupation defines us . . . I'm already starting to envision you with a briefcase tucked under your arm :)
I know you'll be a wonderful teacher Robin ~ Congratulations on your new path.
Of course we will all miss you! But, congrats on the teaching job. I will guarantee that you will be a much better instructor than I had when I took Bus. Law in college. Oh my...funny stories from that one!
Oh come on Robin! You know we will miss you like we would miss the sunshine! You are such a bright light in blogland! I hope you dont' forget about us! ♥♥

Hi,
We will miss you but good news for you! Good luck and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!
Yes! Yes! We'll miss you! But you're wonderful and you'll make a wonderful teacher! Get plenty of sleep and take lots of vitamins. Kids are great and we love them, but they're also filthy little plague carriers. How do I know? I used to be a teacher...
OH my I had to travel aways to get here and post a comment, wow what a wonderful outpouring of love to you.
So here is mine dear Robin, many blessings to you as you embark on this new journey, So happy for you!!
You will be truly missed in Blog land
Well I know I will miss your wonderful comments and replies back to my replies. You are always so sweet and it is a joy to visit with you. I got my graters today thank you!!

The world awaits yous talent.
Have a great Thanksgiving!
How exciting,and interesting! My Dad "tried" to retire and now is part-time at his law firm. You will be missed, but you will still be encouraging and touching lives, but in a different venue. Happy teaching!
