What's going on in December at my library

After eight weeks off for a not nearly long enough maternity leave, I decided to get some fresh ideas rolling in the library. Today was going to be the day that we started the new December incentives and I had to get to work early. I had bags packed, cups of milk in the fridge ready to go, and everything was going swell. We even got to the sitters ten minutes earlier than normal (and I'll be honest, getting three kids out of the car and into daycare is no easy feat). All I was thinking was, "I AM THE MOST AMAZING MOM EVER!" Then, as I was getting Emma out of the car a cough attack hit, and right at that moment she decided to projectile vomit all over the back of the car, the splashes, of course, hitting me. Mom of the year figured it was just the cough and took her in anyway. She ended up going home thirty minutes later with dad (thank God, I can't take another dock day!), and I went to school with the smell of puke on my outfit.

However, the December incentives have started off nicely. We are usually pretty busy with classes coming and going, but the month of December is a month of giving, so the library is just going to keep on giving. We are so sick of looking at the two dollar fines our students have incurred from late books and we are out of tissues, so only for the month of December we are letting our students bring in tissues as a way to take care of the fines. I'm the nicest librarian ever, right. I guess I'm feeling all nice because I've got my little chunker at home and babies just make everyone go all soft (even if they were vomited on this morning by the cutest of little pukers).
