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....

    "Out Came the Sun and Dried Up All the Rain...."

    I had an adorable toddler girl in my lap and an equally cute(but far more serious) toddler girl leaning on my shoulder during Mother Goose Time today. Meanwhile a charming little boy kept trying to get me to wear his baseball cap: "Hat! Hat!"

    I had 25 2 to 4 year olds listening to me sing "The Little White Duck" and dancing to "If You're Happy and You Know It Clap Your Hands", and helping me sing "Five Little Ducks" and "Five Speckled Frogs"

    This afternoon I spent an hour on the reference desk and actually had a whole number of REFERENCE questions, and everyone I helped said "thank you".
    I had to giggle though because a tourist lady wanted to know if I was just the "computer person" or did I answer reference questions? I told her that actually it WAS the reference desk--that the computer stuff is supposed to be the extra job!

    Madame(I have an "orange passport")Crazy from last Tuesday was already logged onto her computer when I got there. And she only raised her voice to talk to her invisible companion once, so I didn't have to confront her about it!

    The sun has actually emerged from the clouds and the rain has stopped, and hopefully will stay away for a few days.

    I'm still a little grouchy. 

    But (as John Astin used to say as an ex-mental patient on one of my favorite shows: "Night Court":

    " I'm feeling MUCH better now!"
