I got an email from my boss here at dLife yesterday. (Hi, boss!) In it, she suggested maybe I give a rundown of who's who in my cast of characters.


Since I'm not quite self-absorbed enough to think that everyone already knows me, I thought I'd comply with her reasonable request. She's quite reasonable, actually, my boss. And funny. And heck, any woman who loves Eddie Izzard with the same burning fire that I do has got to have a few other redeeming qualities, right? (And if you don't know who Eddie Izzard is, get thee to Mr. Google. He's hysterical. Only don't listen at work. The man does like to swear.)


Sorry. Tangets. Another thing I'm good at, scooting down that tangent slide.


Cast of characters:


TCBIM - That Canadian Boy I Married. He's younger than me (phwoar!) and from Canada (duh), thus the acronym.


A - my eldest, who is 19 and doesn't live at home any more, yet still manages to worry me and bug me and piss me off on a regular basis.


Olivia - my eldest daughter. She's 13 (near enough) and has had type 1 for 10 years now. She's also 13. 'nuff said.


Boo - The toddler, who will be three at the end of November. She's one part frustrating, one part cute and about a million parts whirling dervish.


The Bug - the baby, who turned one at the beginning of August. She just started walking. She still nurses several times a night. I'm exhausted.


There you have it. Print this and keep it handy for reference. There may be a quiz later.

Julia
JuliaJulia lives behind the Tofu Curtain, in the Pioneer Valley, in Western Massachusetts. It's a nice place. She likes it there. Her eldest daughter, Olivia, has type 1 diabetes. She's also 13. It's a real toss-up as to which is more difficult -- the diabetes or the teen-age drama. (Read More)
