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 16 years, but involved for many more. Long story....

Our Kids:
SC:  Age 15(how did that happen?) 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....

Want The Latest Mishegosse?

Dear SC

posted Tue, 10/20/09

I am pleased that you have removed the line on your blog's sidebard where you note that Mom says that you "don't have the common sense God gave a goat", especially since in it you refer to me as "dear OLD mom".

I KNOW that you have commonsense. But when you go out in 37 degree weather to wait for the bus wearing your usual thin sweater instead of your fall fleece, it's not there. When you eat nothing but a small challah roll for breakfast, pack no lunch AND plan to stay late after school, I see no sense.

And when I stay up to fix your blasted MP3 player and get it WORKING,  but you won't use it unless it's got all the songs you didn't want removed and no bad tracks or repeats, when there's such a thing as a "skip" button on the blasted things, I see the same pigheaded nonsense your dad frequently displays.

Remind me in my next life to marry a sweet, reasonable man and have sweet reasonable kids.
I'd be bored, but at least I'd be rested!

Love,
"Dear Old" Mom
