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....

    She Passed (And She's Dancing Again)

    SC PASSED THE S.O.L. MATH TEST!

    And that's all in caps for a reason.The last time she passed the damn test was in 3rd grade.

    She didn't have to take it in 4th. She failed it in 5th. In 6th. In 7th--where she came within points of a pass.
    But this year, not only did she pass it, she passed it with a rating of "proficient"

    She could have done it for the past 3 years. She just didn't BELIEVE that she could.
    Now she does. And hopefully, she'll be able to pass it the next time and the next and the next.

    To add icing to my cake, Lynne called me this morning to kvell about her dancing. Not JR's--she's always good--but about SC, who quite ballet last year and hasn't danced since this week!

    Lynne's hoping she'll agree to come and be her assistant at some of the classes in the fall.

    I don't know what we're going to do to celebrate. But celebrate we WILL!
