The Main Characters

The Man (of the House): The love of my life. Severely addicted to books (that take up WAYYYY too much space in our house) and raw garlic. We've been married 15 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 14. Book addicted like both her parents. Serious, but with a nice sense of humor. Well mannered in the eyes of the world, but at home,it can be another story--she's a teenager(!)

JR: Age 10  I think of her as a Disney Princess's evil twin. All the eccentricity of both sides of the family wrapped up in a sweet little body and an adorable smile. People find her a darling. I do too, but I also find her exhausting!

The Beasts: Our 2 cats, both adopted from animal rescue. "Bart" is a big, solid black, total teddy bear of a cat. Our brown tabby queeen "Bella" is  in love with The Man, though she seems to like me too!

Me: Children's librarian by day, tired keeper of all of the above by night. When I think of my life, I think of Nicole Hollander (Sylvia)'s immortal line about things that are easier than combining a family and a career. Like swimming the Amazon covered in peanut butter....

    posted Tue, 07/20/04

    My car overheated Saturday, so it ended up at the shop yesterday--it needed several new belts. My sinuses have been giving me grief, and kept me up all night Sunday,so the Man took the girls to camp, I took the car to the shop, came home and went back to bed for most of the day.

    Both of us are feeling much better today for the most part--though the car is back in the shop today to see why the "check engine" light never went off after they did some work last week.

    And I am better, but feeling bogged down by all the summer programs and all my home responsibilities.  I am tired of making lunches and doing story hours and never catching up on the laundry, and not having that many kids for my school age programs and trying to plan a party for SC and JR when I really don't want to do anything on the weekend but curl up and SLEEP!

     I love the programs, I love my family, but everyone and everything NEEDS me. It's nice to be needed, but can't someone else do it once in a while?
