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....

    Waiting To Exhale

    JR is home with what is probably a stomach ache and no more--we've all had similar things over the last week or two.

    The Man is home with her because I had to come to work and do my "Halloween" programs.
    And truthfully, coming in for my toddler program was a waste of my time--kids running amok and adults barely participating. And I resent having to be here rather than home with my girl.

    H1N1 is in the schools--though the school system says numbers are low so far. And I am afraid.

    Both of the girls are boundingly healthy--have been since entering elementary school. But when they get sick, they've been known to get really sick. JR in particular has been known to run high fevers, and for the last two years I've gotten them seasonal flu shots along with mine and the Man's.

    JR's school immunized the K-1 set, but so far hasn't gotten enough serum to do the older kids. The date for SC's school isn't even on the calendar yet. Probably some time in November.

    I am on edge, watching them for signs of illness, breathing a sigh of relief when JR's temperture showed normal this AM, worrying that she could develop a fever later today.

    They are having a flu immunization clinic on Saturday. The girls are eligible to get shots and as someone with asthma I am qualified as well.

    I am going to go early and see if waiting on line for several hours really might get us the shots. And if so, all 3 of us will get them.

    And then I might start to breathe normally again.

    Until then, I am afraid.
