| All anyone in my world is talking about is the covid vaccine: where to get it, when, and how long the lines are. Multiple friends waited for more than four hours in line on the first day it was available here in D.C. I'm hoping to get our younger guy his vaccine today at another pop-up clinic, and we're all excited for it. I know it's not this way everywhere. But here? Let's just say I'm grateful my neighbors are taking this so seriously. I'm also looking forward to the day (soon, please!) where this isn't at the top of so many parents' minds. There are, of course, other issues hitting us. From our connections with our teens to tantrums, Thanksgiving manners to how to help our kids express sadness. Do you have something you want to discuss? Advice you're looking for, but maybe are afraid to ask a friend or family member? Come on over and ask Meghan Leahy anything. She'll go live with an online Q&A Wednesday, but you can post your question to her now. I'm looking forward to hearing what you have to say, what you're focused on, how you're getting by. Let's have a fun, fruitful discussion. And in the meantime, wishing you all the best as you wait in those vaccine lines, try to get back to life, and enjoy those kids.
