The Domestic Anti-Diva

Hubby: The best guy on earth. Age: late 30s. Puts up with Anti-Diva’s mood swings, depression, and other “issues” while being the best daddy in the universe and picking up Anti-Diva’s slack.

The girls:

• Melancholy: Age 6½. In first grade.

• WildChild: Age 5. In preschool.

• BabyFace: Age 4½. In preschool.

A little note about our kids: there are five months between the youngest and the middle one, and less than two years between the middle and oldest. Two of them are adopted; one is not. Hardest time of my life: when they were 4 months, 9 months and 2½. I don’t remember much from that time.
