Sounds to me like you are underqualified to be a grant writer. they want 3 years of experience. You have gotten 3 grants. your librarian skills don't exactly translate. I would expect that grant writing full time is quite different. If no one else applies, you might get it, but you just know there is some newly mommyfied and therefore housebound grant writer out there that would be just perfect. I like it that you are at least thinking about getting back to work, but caution you against setting high hopes. For two reasons:

#1. your hopes will, statistically speaking, more than likely be dashed which will discourage you from job hunting....

....and in interest of satisfying my current 'troll mode' status, and in compliance with the wishes of those of you who have privately encouraged this kind of behaviour toward certain parties, I give you #2.(pun intended)....so....

#2: I think it is a cop out. you know you should be getting back to work, but you do not want to..... so, you hang all of your hopes and thoughts on a job that you know you won't get, thereby ...temporarily, at least.....relieving yourself of the prospect of going out and getting a job that consists of actual work.
Why not play to your strengths? You could be a Lilly Tomlin impersonator. You could do parties with Gilda Radner impersonators like Lady Sidhe.
